They have it nice and quiet

Great satisfaction.

Station building no longer works, no staff, no ticket sales, timetables posted. Yet nostalgically beautiful rural station.

Who would have thought (and how many tourists have already had to come here or leave) that this small and inconspicuous railway station is one of only four so-called dead centers in the country. Only one line passes through the dead center station - trains leave in both directions only from one side of the station, at the opposite end the line ends with a blind track. In the past, it was necessary (after the set arrived at the station) to disconnect the locomotive, and after the second lap to move it to the opposite end of the train. Today, these problems are solved by a separate motor vehicle, and at a time of increased passenger transport (Fridays and weekends), the sets have motor vehicles at both ends. If you are interested, you will find an information board in the station area with more detailed information. Who would have thought (and how many tourists had already arrived or depart from here?) That this small and inconspicuous railway station is among the only four so-called lock-in stations in Czech Republic. There is only one track passing through the station - trains leave only one side of the station in both directions, at the opposite end of the station the track is terminated. In the past, it was necessary to disconnect the locomotive (after the train had arrived at the station) and, secondly, move it to the opposite end of the train using a parallel track. Today, these problems are solved by a single motor trains, and at the time of increased passenger transport (Fridays and weekends), the sets have motorized coaches at both ends.
