The order of departure from Sedlec Ossuary are as follows:

5. Kelly & Dave
6. Matt & Tom

Since the previous leg was a No-Rest Leg, teams immediately departed from the Pit Stop to continue racing.

Teams must travel to Kraków, Poland. Upon arrival, they must search outside the Kraków Główny railway station for a marked vehicle, which contained their next clue on the windshield. Teams were then instructed to drive to the Wieliczka Salt Mine.

"When push comes to shove who digs adventure?"

The team member assigned this Roadblock must climb to the attic of the church and then abseil down to the floor in order to receive their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

• Anastasia & Chris
• Jeff & Luke
• Kelly & Dave
• Matt & Tom
• Sam & Renae
• Tyler & Nathan

For both Detour choices, teams must drive to Zakopane.

Choice A: Herd

Teams must travel into the Polish countryside and build a pen using provided fencing and then herd three marked sheep into it in order to receive their next clue.

All teams chose this task.

Choice B: Hoe Down

Teams must travel to Karczma Czarci Jar Restaurant, where they had to don Polish Highland clothing and perform a Polish axe dance to the satisfaction of the village judge in order to receive their next clue.

No teams chose this task.

Teams must drive to Cape Stylchen in Czorsztyn to find their next clue.

At Cape Stylchen, the teams encountered an Intersection, where two teams must work together until further notice.

The teams that Intersected are as follows:

• Anastasia & Chris and Sam & Renae
• Jeff & Luke and Tyler & Nathan
• Kelly & Dave and Matt & Tom

The joined teams must cut four slices off of a large log using a two-man saw in order to receive their next clue, swapping members after each slice. At this point, teams were no longer joined.

Teams make their way to Niedzica Castle to check in.
For coming in first place, Jeff & Luke won A$10,000.
