PARKING OF CARS AND COACHES

Component part 01
B. ANALYTICAL SECTION OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN
In Stekník and Trnovany there are inadequate parking capacities for vehicles used by the potential visitors. The
suitable area for a car park next to the future visitor centre next to Stekník Chateau is on private land which would have
to be purchased.

Component part 02
As in other historic town centres, the parking is limited and the very often used and fully occupied by the residents’
vehicles, cars of office staff and local traders with their business premises situated in the town centre. The key
prerequisite for revitalisation of Žatec historic town centre is building of the much needed parking capacity for residents
and employees.
This should increase the permeability of the area for pedestrians and cyclists and make more parking spaces available
to the visitors to the town. Parking in the historic town centre can be designed as a smart system limiting the free
parking time.
It would be helpful to update the traffic and parking master plan for the historic town centre which should be based
on an architectural competition addressing this area and would be linked to the future conceptual design of the public
transport in the town.
The car parking capacity next to the railway stations must be also increased.
At present there are no areas available for coach parking.

RESUME

COMPONENT PART 01
No parking zone at the village square in Stekník (as part of the restoration of the original appearance of the square).

Consider building of a new car park for the visitors to the village and chateau.
82 As part of the village square and railway station restoration in Trnovany consider building parking capacity for the visitors who could
use an alternative means of transport from Trnovany to Stekník leading through the hop fields and offering them an attractive
experience.
COMPONENT PART 02

Consider a designated parking zone in the historic town centre controlled by a smart system with number plate recognition capability.
Identify a suitable area for parking coaches bringing visitors to the town.

Add info on the website on parking options in both components.

RAILWAY

Component part 01
There is a railway line in the village of Trnovany. It is necessary to consider the revitalisation of the railway station and
its new use as well as the use of the space around it. There is no adequate connection between the railway station and
the Trnovany village square where in the future an information system should be made available including maps of the
area and the change to the alternative means of transport enhancing the experience will be possible. This will provide
a link between the village of Trnovany and Stekník Chateau via hop fields.

Component part 02
Visitors to the town can use the railway line 124 from Prague via Žatec to Chomutov or the railway line 160 from Žatec
to Plzeň and railway line 123 from Žatec Western Railway Station (Západní nádraží) to Most.

At the outskirts of the town, north of the property, there are historic railway stations – Západní nádraží (Western Railway
Station) and Hlavní nádraží (Main Railway Station) which will have to be modernised in the very near future, the area
around them will need general enhancement and more parking capacities will have to be built there. Particularly the
Main Railway Station lacks a good car park and a bus terminal to change to the public transport operated by the town
of Žatec and intercity coaches.
