Travel info
The information about travelling to the conference site and back is divided according to its kind (car / public transportation) and to the starting point (Strakonice / Plzeň / Praha).By car
There are several routes from Plzeň and its surroundings, all of them being quite similar concerning both the distance and supposed travelling time. We present two of them.
- the shortest (107 km, travelling time 2 hours) one, maybe the least comfortable one for drivers, the most beautiful one regarding the scenery:
Plzeň – (road no. E53/27) – Klatovy – (road no. 22, then no. 187) – Kolinec – Sušice – (road no. 169, then no. 145) – Kašperské Hory – Stachy – (turn to Říhov, Kůsov, Zadov, Churáňov) – Kůsov – Zadov
- the longest (137 km, travelling time 2 hours 15 minutes) one, probably the most comfortable one for drivers:
Plzeň – (road no. E49/20) – Nepomuk – Blatná – křižovatka "Nová Hospoda" – (road no. 4) – Strakonice – Vimperk – (road no. 145) – Zdíkov – (turn to Masákova Lhota) – Masákova Lhota – Nový Dvůr – (turn to Zadov, Churáňov) – Zadov
Going from Praha, the best is to follow this itinerary (distance 161 km, travelling time 2 hours 20 minutes):
- Praha – (road no. 4) – Strakonice – Vimperk – (road no. 145) – Zdíkov – (turn to Masákova Lhota) – Masákova Lhota – Nový Dvůr – (turn to Zadov, Churáňov) – Zadov
