“Gas station, the best way to go to Praha. You have to go by tram to last stop Ustredni Hrbitov, then go by the highway about 1,5 km. Lot of cars, all are going to Praha, but always several hitchhikers waiting”

Owner of the orchard was obviously piss”

You cross the railway and then just before the D1 hike the slope on the left side. You have to walk about 100 m along the highway to reach this OMV gas station. I wait here regulary dur”
