I found the castle from the Witcher while exploring Poland (and a desert) | BEATER CAR vs ARCTIC

I’m road-tripping all the way to the Arctic in a 24-year-old micro-camper, but getting into Poland almost broke me. In this episode, we explore some of the most epic hidden gems in Central Europe, including Poland's massive inland desert and the spectacular ruins of Zamek Ogrodzieniec—the actual castle used to film The Witcher! But the reality of living in a tiny 1.0L car isn't always an adventure. Before making it to these incredible sights, I got hit with a violent stomach flu and had to survive three days sick in an IKEA parking lot. I included the raw footage to show the true, gritty reality of this journey, but if you just want to see the Polish exploration, feel free to use the chapters below to jump straight to the adventure!
