Bus Hire in Most

Most is a North Bohemian city whose entire historic centre was demolished between 1975 and 1981 to allow surface-mining of the brown coal seam beneath it. The demolition of the old town -- including all but one of its historic buildings -- and the relocation of some 50,000 residents to new panel apartment blocks is one of the most extensive urban destructions carried out in peacetime Europe. The sole surviving structure, the Late Gothic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (1518 to 1594), was moved intact 841 metres on rails in 1975 in a remarkable feat of engineering and now stands incongruously at the edge of the modern city.

Most's most prominent current attraction is the Autodrom Most, the premier motorsport racing circuit in the Czech Republic, which hosts the FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCC), the Czech Truck Prix, and domestic touring car championships. The Ore Mountains (Krusne Hory/Erzgebirge), beginning 15 km north, offer skiing, cycling, and hiking. Prague Airport is 95 km south-east.

Autodrom Most Racing Circuit

Autodrom Most is the Czech Republic's fastest permanent racing circuit, a 4.212 km road course with 13 corners that has hosted the FIA WTCC World Touring Car Cup, the Truck Grand Prix, the Czech Superbike Championship, and the DTM. The circuit is open for track days, corporate driving experiences, and event hospitality packages. Group transport from Prague and Dresden for race weekends is a significant booking category; the Autodrom has a large vehicle park adjacent to the grandstand.

Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

The Cathedral of the Assumption (1518 to 1594), one of the finest Late Gothic churches in Bohemia, was moved intact 841 metres along a specially constructed rail track in 1975 to save it from demolition during the coal mining expansion. The engineering operation -- moving a structure weighing 12,000 tonnes at a speed of 3 centimetres per minute -- took 27 days. The cathedral now stands in its incongruous modern setting as a monument to the scale of the industrial-era destruction of old Most; its interior retains the original Gothic vaulting, Renaissance stone pulpit, and Baroque high altar.

Ore Mountains (Krusne Hory, 15 km North)

The Krusne Hory (Ore Mountains), beginning 15 km north of Most on the Czech-German border, were heavily industrialised from the 16th century for silver, tin, and later uranium mining. The ridge has been progressively rehabilitated since 1990 as a recreational area: the Klinovec ski resort (1,244 m, Czech Republic's highest Bohemian peak), cycling trails from Chomutov to Kraslice, and the narrow-gauge Ore Mountain Railway from Chemnitz (Germany) are the main visitor draws. Coaches access the Klinovec ski area via the road from Jachymov (35 km north-west of Most).

What Bus Hire Costs in Most

As a rough guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) in Most runs around 5,100-8,900 CZK per day, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 8,500-15,400 CZK per day, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 12,700-23,000 CZK per day. Most is a smaller operator market. Autodrom race weekends (typically April to October) and Klinovec ski season (December to March) create peak demand periods.
