Germany and Czechia moving closer together.
Comfortable and environmentally friendly travel: thanks to the short travel time, environmentally friendly opportunities arise for both regions and countries to bring their culture and economy closer together.Twice as fast from Dresden to Prague
The new line saves 1.5 hours of your daily commute. Passengers travel from Dresden to Prague in one hour and from Berlin to Prague in 2.5 hours. Commuters in particular benefit from it.
Accelerating the economy for Europe and for the region
Shorter transport times increase economic growth and promote tourism – in the Saxon and Czech economic area, across countries and in Europe. It offers more capacity for freight traffic. The new line is an essential section of the Trans-European Networks (TEN) and connects Czechia to the Central European high-speed network.
We found the best route
The final route from Prague to Dresden was decided in 2024. Experts from both countries worked to plan the optimal route according to different country-specific approval processes.
