Changes

If you got some time and money, and prefer seeing some landscape of the Elbe/Labe valley as well as of the Saxonian and Bohemian "Switzerland" mountains instead of the motorway, you can take the train "'''S1" ''' from Dresden (from main station, Dresden-Neustadt and others; direction "'''Schöna"''') to the Czech border. The ticket is 5,60 Euro (as of 2013) - get it at the ticket machines and validate it before entering the train!

You can either leave the train at '''Schmilka-Hirschmuehle Hirschmühle''' (the ferry there is included in the ticket price) or at '''Schöna''' (and pay the ferry extra). After crossing the river by ferry, walk over the border and through '''Hřensko'''. There is a bus stop at the end of the town and a large space behind it. If there are too many cars parked, hitch at the bus stop directly.
