Travelling to Poland alone at the age of 17

for what it’s worth: Poland reinstituted border controls recently to last for a month (several large events occuring in Poland over the next few weeks).

to be honest, I never ever heard about a thing called a notarized letter — in my time, once you got an ID (usually at 16), you where more or less free to travel, although some kind of writ from your parents may have been helpful in certain situations

Because this is an internal Schengen flight, you will not be subject to a systematic check of your travel document by Danish or Polish officials. Therefore, restrictions or requirements that arise because you are a minor will only be enforced by the airline. Call the airline and ask them what documents you will need to board the plane.

The page you link to seems to have some of the information you need:

In addition to their own valid travel document (passport or ID card),
although not obligatory by law, all minors entering or leaving Poland
are strongly advised to carry a letter of parental consent if
travelling alone or with adults other than their parents. The
document should be signed by both parents and certified by a
notary (or validated by a Polish Consul if issued outside Poland)
and should show: the dates and reason for travel the details of an
adult who will be responsible for the child

I would contact a Polish consul asap. Not only can they advise you on what to write in the letter, you will need them to sign the letter and there is not much time left.

If it’s realistic totally depends on the access you have to both your parents and a consul. If you have already booked and can’t delay the only option seems to just go for it and try to arrange the document.

If all else fails and you do decide to go without the consul signature I would try to make the letter and other information you have as complete as possible.
