May 2022
It was decided to visit Chomutov after we'd been to Litoměřice and liked it there.
The Sudetenland is one of the most underrated regions, but like everything in this life, not everything is so clear-cut
Getting to Chomutov by train from Prague is inconvenient - more than two hours. Though by car it's only about 80km
From the first minutes the impressions are as if you ended up in 90s Kaluga
Slowly it became clear that there would most likely be nothing to catch here
Closer to the center everything got better, but still not quite
Street sign
The town by vibe reminded of everything: for example, this street reminded of Znojmo
Here - Pardubice, and that's a bad sign
Here something between Kaluga of my childhood and the same Pardubice
The center is very small
Parking like in Rakovník
In general, an asshole
With the widest and dumbest roads in Czechia. Pedestrians in Chomutov are valued here like Roma.
Oh yeah, Chomutov is supposed to be a "Roma" town, but as you can see, this stereotype has never really been confirmed in my life
The entrance to the gymnasium is designed as if it's not Chomutov but Geneva
Though you have to give credit, like in "Parasite", at the top Chomutov is quite a rich Geneva
With expensive views
With a paid lake
With a paid zoo
And free nature (for which the trip was made)
The reader should guess the year of the article and the meaning of the inscription
After the zoo another 5 minutes of humiliation through Chomutov districts with a highway and three panel buildings on the outskirts
And finally, forest.
In the forest the main exhibits are defensive structures. Reminder, World War II started right here - Germany seized the Sudetenland in '39. Czechia prepared, fought, but was betrayed.
"More modern" bunkers
There was some museum here too
Chomutov in German is "Komotau". In Belarusian it's also something like that, right?
The return trip took very little - the town was visible almost immediately
Over Chomutov's 3 panel buildings flew 3 airplanes
Another 3 panel buildings
And more
But there's also one (another two-thirds didn't fit in the frame)
Closer to the second station there are still some decent private houses left
At the station a European couple was romantically fighting on the stairs. It's like a fight with kisses or something like that. I saw this on the street all my childhood. In 2022 in Prague this would be cringe, but for Chomutov it's normal, from which we can conclude that Chomutov is an ordinary asshole of the world.
Surely an extremely popular town on Russian forums for buying real estate.
