Thanks Losos, that is really useful information for us. It is cold and snowy in the winter and I can see why you advise avoiding the Czech Rebulic then but it is also very beautiful in the snow. One year we skated on a huge reservoir near Plumlov, along with lots of locals and it was like stepping back in time.

You are right, the deep snow can give an amazing look to the landscape, last winter for example we had a few days when it had snowed, the trees were all covered, it started to melt, and then that night the temperature plumeted to about -20 C and the next morning all the trees were glistening with ice like millions of diamonds, it was something I've never seen before and I was gobsmacked
I did mean to add that this year, so far, we've also had amazing weather, it's been so warm and mild, if it keeps on like this there will be no skiing this year, but as I said before it's Jan to Mar. when the snows usually arrive.
Hello, I thought I would revive this one as I am near Bayreuth only a few miles from the Czech border, Any one got any recommendations I don't want to go too far into the country just now as I have to go west again. Are there things I should know about parking, wild camping etc. Thank you, Alan.
Hello Alan, when you get your van sorted out and if you still plan to visit Czech you might find it interesting to go via Waldsassen which is east of Beyreuth and close to the border. There is a very unusual and beautiful cathedral you should have a look at if you're not too sensitive about seeing some of the departed dressed up in colourful outfits and posed on display in glass cases. Car park very close by. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiftsbasilika_Waldsassen
We didn't venture into Czech on that occasion but a couple of Germans told me that the Czech police are very hot on speeding in the area.
Prague is well worth a visit and you might also want to see Terezin (Theresienstadt), a Nazi concentration camp. They didn't have gas chambers but gathered people together before shipment to places such as Auschwitz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terez%C3%ADn The smaller of the two castles which make up Terezin is the one to see if you're pressed for time (underground tunnels etc). May be a bit harrowing, we thought it was more poignant than Auschwitz.

They tend to look out for the German visitors who drive like maniacs so that might account for those warnings. Mind you IMO the Czechs are not much better, a consistent and dangerous habit is to pull in after overtaking far too soon. I've nearly had my offside headlight removed several times
