“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”

“Honestly? This place sucks balls but there's no better (legal) place so you don't have much of a choice. First of all, it's a huge pain in the ass to get there. I took a bus to the Vyhlídalova bus stop (north of the station) and walked from there. I had to cross a small brook and climb over a fence of the orchard (the big green thing around the gas station). Owner of the orchard was obviously piss”

“For us it was a bit tricki, we climbed up, from an apple field, but it was easy to get very close by trams and bus. we started hiking at 12, and after 25-30 minutes we got 2 rides at the same time till praga. one would take us to berlin, but we switched directions at praha, and went west.”
