About this route
Route overview
The Prague–Cheb route runs along the D5 motorway westward, toward the Bavarian and Saxon borderland. Cheb is the historic capital of Egerland — with the Romanesque Stauferpfalz castle of Frederick Barbarossa (1180), the Wallenstein House (the general was murdered here in 1634), and the medieval Špalíček cluster on the King's Square. Františkovy Lázně is nearby, creating a natural heritage and spa synergy.
