Westbound on D5: Plzeň to Rozvadov (German Border Approach)

Описание: This video covers the final leg of the major east-west transit across the Czech Republic. Starting just south of Plzeň (near Dobřany), the route follows the D5 Motorway (Dálnice D5) westward to the border town of Rozvadov.

The drive navigates the rolling hills of Western Bohemia, climbing towards the Bohemian Forest (Český les) before reaching the gateway to Germany.

Nearby Landmarks & Highlights

Plzeň Bypass (Start): The video begins on the D5 bypass around Plzeň (Points 1-3), passing the industrial hubs near Nýřany. This area is a key logistics center due to its proximity to the border.

Kladruby & Stříbro (Points 10-12): Around the 20km mark, the route passes near the historic towns of Kladruby (famous for its monastery) and Stříbro (Silver), an ancient mining town located in the Mže river valley.

Přimda Castle (The Climb): As you approach Point 26, the highway climbs significantly. To the right, you can often spot the ruins of Přimda Castle (Hrad Přimda) atop a rocky hill. It is one of the oldest stone castles in Bohemia and marks the highest point of the D5 motorway.

Approaching the Border (Rozvadov): The drive concludes at Rozvadov (Points 35-37). This town is famous for hosting King's Resort, one of the largest poker rooms in Europe. The video ends just before the actual border crossing, where the Czech D5 becomes the German A6 (the subject of the previous route).

The Atmosphere This section of the highway is scenic and smooth, transitioning from the open agricultural lands near Plzeň to the denser evergreen forests near the border. It is the crucial connector for international traffic heading towards Nuremberg and Munich.
