My wife and I went to Hrensko years ago, we were on a city break in Dresden, went to Schona from Dresden HBf and crossed there. Seem to recall Hrensko as a very pretty town, we had a large beer and a soup (which was more like a stroganoff) for some ridiculously low price (we were talking less than a few €s each

It's a very big train station considering it is serving a small regional city. For me the real surprise is how by contrast Frankfurt has a relatively small Hbf. One would expect for a capital city and the largest city in Germany they would have a station to match. (The joke here being that Frankfurt is the capital of Germany since Berlin was split in half by the Soviets and East Germany being a shell of what West Germany became).
The Sir Scott moment was genius! But hey, my no.1 question is what happened to grabbing a curry wurst at Berlin Hauptbahnhof??? Love that station btw. Great video mate, look forward to the continuation of this crazy adventure...
I’m 1/4 Czech. My grandad was born in Czechoslovakia in 1923, he came to Scotland sometime around 1947 to escape the communists and it wasn’t until 1990 when communism fell that he was able to return to see his family. I’ve visited Czechia many several times as well, 1990 being the earliest and 2023 being the most recent. I still have a lot of family there mainly in Prague amd almost all of them speak good English
In the old Tegel I've certainly gotten off the plane and at the airport express buss within 15 minutes, though only when I had hand luggege. When visiting my dad in Germany, I would always leave myself a good couple of hours at Berlin Hauptbahnhof to get lunch and other supplies, for the rest of my journey. It's certainly one of my fave main stations. 🙂
Right, I have liked this before watching it. For some reason seeing you do these torturous journeys for RUclips content is incredibly entertaining. I admire your stamina!👍
My dad hailed from Paisley, last time we went I just didn’t know or remember it , it has changed so much. Maybe somebody should do a programme on the changes to Paisley and Glasgow.
I have only just discovered this excellent channel, and therefore only just viewed this video, taken in an area I visited as recently as June 2022. I am sure Scott should have got off the express at Dresden and got the S1 to Schona. S1s are every 30 minutes and take about an hour. Better still they are double decks, so you get a much better view of the river!
Berlin Hauptbahnof is certainly very impressive; would love to see it. Glad you could make the connections and reach without complications. I like it when you finally get down to business and pronounce meal time, the best time.
Brilliant Scott,really enjoy your down to earth content. I thinks its only the coffee thst keep you going. Looking foward to the rest of your videos. Sam near Ilkley moor bar tat Yorkshire(,wealth worth a visit too)
Hrensko part of the old Sudetenland German speaking part of the former Czech Republic, I worked there from March 92 till September 94, unfortunately I have not been back since. One day before I will make the effort aft😢watching your videos on the area and before I reach 75.
This video has been superb very interesting, since working there more than 30 years ago things change so much. It’s good to have someone doing the walking for you, I wouldn’t be able too do that again 3 miles maximum is my limit now.
Hi Scott. If memory services me correct the Dresden Sbahn line S1 terminates at Schona (as its the last station before czechia. Some trains also turn back at Bad Schandau) Would it not have been easier to change at Dresden instead of Decin? Nice video by the way.

Hey Scott! I was hiking in the Sächsische Schweiz at the weekend, I cannot wait to see your take on the area. Thanks again for a really fun video, and looking forward to the sequels.
You need to find a friend who can drive or pick you up for these early morning flights. Not safe walking the roadway at 1am. Nice sunny day. Beautiful scenery on the no power train. Go to bed and sleep well.
The only slight issue I would have is whenever I've flown, a day or three later I sometimes end up with a stinking cold. Planes just are alive with cold viruses. I should disinfect everything before I sit down.
Good choice of destinations. :) However - why didn't you go directly from Dresden to Schöna, there is a frequent S-bahn line, without having to go to Děčín and back... :)
Hi Scott have been watching your vlogs for some time in Scotland and elsewhere. As an ex Greenockian and ex Travel agent, I can recall very many years ago meeting Freddie Laker, Clarkson's for an hour trip in his new 1970's aircraft around the West Coast. I think that you are a braver man than me to walk 20 mins in the early hours to Glasgow Airport!! i am now an exiled Scot and have been for very many years lived in the Southern Areas of the UK. This have been ane of yer best Ar ra Best China Regards Crawford
Thoroughly enjoyed,I agree with you re Berlin Hauptbahnhoff beautiful and busy station,got lost in it two or three times,looking forward to the rest of your adventure .ciao🏴
I have watched a lot of your videos and was wondering how Britain compared to all of the other countries you have been to transport wise obviously could make a good video
There has been articles about Deutsche bahn refusing to take over train from České dráhy (Czech railways) because it was malfunctioning. Looks like you got one of these. It's a shame because other trains in Czechia are not as bad as this (but there are lot of old trains still in service, so don't expect wonders). I like the cross-border ferry and I will definitely use it when I will visit Hřensko.
Is there any particular reason you didn't change at Dresden for the S-Bahn? S1 goes directly to Schona from Dresden Hbf. Would that have been slower than going to Decin and doubling back?
Great video Scott, the Saxon Swiss is amazing, I was lucky to travel there with friends who would rock climb all over the area. If you get the chance try Meissen & visit the porcelain factory there - it's well worth it - don't forget Dresden as well, another great city. Cheers.
Dunno if that's being asked already, but why didn't you leave the train from Berlin in Dresden and took the local S-Bahn to Schöna from there? Great video though!
Hi from PRAGUE - the old trains (hauled by brand new locos Siemens Vectron) 0will be replaced since 2024 for a brand new ComfortJets trains on the line Prague-Dresden-Berlin-Hamburg-Kiel - its been already in a production. Czech Railways (ČD) and all their passengers has been looking for them! Similar domestic trains has been already one year in operation on domestic lines as Západní/Western Express and Krušnohor uder the brand InterJet - both from Prague to Cheb. Západní express - Prague - Plzeň/Pilsen - Mariánské lázně(spa) - Cheb Krušnohor - Prague - Ústí nad Labem - (all the important cities under the Krušné hory border mountines) - Karlovy Vary(spa) - Cheb Pretty interested on your Hřensko video - as last year there was masive long lasting 1forest fire all around the town!
Great effort Scott the Berlin HBH does look amazing will have to go back there as not been in 20 years. Please can you do a visit to Prague and Munich sometime I love those cities. Look forward to the second episode.
@@murraybarnes6089 I was kind of excited as it mentioned Switzerland and I used to live there. I guess its like expecting China to be in Chinatown in London. Weirdly there seems to be little coverage of Swiss public transport on RUclips...perhaps because it simply works
@@alanadams-ni7uk according to Wiki - The concept of Bohemian Switzerland developed in the 18th century as an extension of the Saxon Switzerland, a part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Germany. The name was inspired by the Swiss artists Adrian Zingg and Anton Graff, who were reminded of their homeland by the geography of northern Bohemia.
Just to point out that the Berlin CityTicket does not include the airport, which is in the State of Brandenburg in "Berlin" zone C. Assuming it wasn't cancelled, the FEX regional train would have got you to Berlin Hbf in about half the time as the S-Bahn. And finally, changing from the Eurocity to the local train (or bus) in Bad Schandau would have avoided the doubling back and been possible on one ticket.
Sir Scott! I found it on the map, will be following with interest. What was your rail fare in Germany, did you make use of the €49 ticket promotion? I will be in Berlin soon, looking forwards to seeing the railway station & airport ... I was last there in 1989, this time I understand we won't be flying through the British Military corridor at 10,000 feet and the city will have changed a little!
What is with all this crapping on Ryanair. They are cheap, never had a crash so safe, and all my flights ever, arrived either on time or early! I'll never understand people, especially travel vloggers who crap on Ryanair, especially since they would not be able to travel as often as they do without it.
Little trick for S-bahn, you don't need to buy a ticket to board the train in the sense that there is no fare barrier like you would see in say New York or Toronto. Consequently it is possible to board an S-Bahn train without a ticket (and without having to jump barriers) the key thing to watch out for are those dreaded ticket inspectors. My advice: locate the washroom on the train (if there is one) and use that if you see a ticket inspector coming by. Alternatively, if you see them coming by you get off at the next station and run for the washroom. If they try and stop you tell them you really badly need to use the washroom, you have a disability that requires you use right this instant and you make a beeline to the toilet in the station (or elsewhere). Chances are a ticket inspector is not gonna waste their time with one person who really badly needed to use the restroom.
