Kadaň-Prunéřov - Kadaň-Prunéřov

We're just passing through

The station, which has its glory behind it.

Transfer to Kadaň-město and further.

Medium-sized railway station with two platforms. Eventual tourists can enjoy the beautiful panorama of the Prunéřov power plants and breathe in the slightly sulphurous but supposedly harmless air coming from their chimneys. Forget about buying tickets, you will just change here :-)

Only a transfer stop. There is nothing but a power plant.

The dura of the world in every direction. The transition between the dura and the outside world, which is probably for safety reasons ... 5km from the village. This is an otherwise blind track and a nice deal for local taxi drivers.

Taken from the train. I drive through the Ore Mountains.

Underpasses were repaired in the Kadaň – Prunéřov station at the end of October 2019 and new shelters for passengers are on the first and second platforms. The five-kilometer section of the single-track line will undergo a major transformation by 2021 - the entire line will be electrified and connected to the main traffic route in the direction of Chomutov and Ústí nad Labem. Prunéřov is a local part of Kadan. Most of the village had to give way to brown coal mining after World War II. The original village was almost 3 kilometers long and stretched on both sides of the Prunéřovský brook from the northern edge of Kadan to the foothills of the Ore Mountains. The first mention of the village dates back to 1261, when the settlement was probably founded by the burgher Arvin of Kadaň at the instigation of King Přemysl Otakar I as part of the settlement of the Czech territory.
