Take bus no. 52 from the Křížikova bus stop in the direction of Antošovice.

Walk about 50 meters, there'll be a street on your right that leads to the highway, you will need to take a small path to the emergency exit. The emergency exit is seen well almost from the bus station, if you don't see it right away, look for a gas station Shell, in the distance. Walk along the highway or cross the corn field and once you reach a stream get onto the highway through one of the emergency exits and walk towards the gas station right in front of you (don't worry, it's only about 100m).

It's the last Czech gas station before the border with Poland and there's parking lot for trucks and a KFC.
