Hi guys,
I found this video on YouTube that describes how to cross on foot the border from southern Poland (near Krakow) through Czech Republic (on the side of Ostrava).

My aim is to reach Olomouc and I would love to do a stretch by walking and see some place out of the beaten path (I love both Poland and Czech).
I was thinking to do the same route of the guy (I'm currently backpacking through Central/Eastern Europe).
I have few questions:
- as a solo female traveler, I'm concerned about safety (in the video two beggars try to steal the camera of the guy).
- plus, it's not clear if the video depicts realistically what's happening, seems the road is on renovation and the guy is in a lovely Polish village and suddenly he's on a dirty road full of beggars.
If someone of you has ever personally done this route and can confirm me its doability, I would much appreciate. Thank you on advance!
