How does the Brno → Ostrava route run?

From Brno we take the D1 motorway via Vyškov, Kroměříž, Přerov and Lipník nad Bečvou and continue through the Moravian Gate past Hranice and Nový Jičín to Ostrava. The route is about 170 km, all of it on the motorway.

A truck loaded in Brno in the morning usually unloads in Ostrava before noon, so it can pick up a return load in the afternoon. The route suits daily shuttle runs between South and North Moravia.

Where do we load and unload between Brno and Ostrava?

In Brno we load in the Černovice, Slatina, Modřice, Hrušovany u Brna and Kuřim zones and pick up shipments on the way from Vyškov, Prostějov, Kroměříž, Přerov or Hranice.

In the Ostrava region we unload in the Hrabová and Mošnov (airport) industrial zones and in Ostrava-Hrušov, Frýdek-Místek, Nošovice, Karviná, Třinec and Bohumín.

What is shipped between Brno and Ostrava?

This is domestic transport, so the CMR consignment note is not used – a delivery note or a domestic consignment note is enough.

What to watch out for on the Brno → Ostrava route

  • Vehicles over 3.5 t pay the electronic toll on the D1; vans up to 3.5 t need the electronic vignette.
  • Vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive on Sundays and public holidays from 13:00 to 22:00; in July and August also on Fridays 17:00–21:00 and Saturdays 07:00–13:00 – see our driving ban calendar.
  • The Moravian Gate between Lipník nad Bečvou and Nový Jičín is prone to fog and ice in autumn and winter, so winter runs are planned with a buffer.
  • Industrial zones in and around Ostrava often have fixed goods-receipt hours – we confirm the unloading time in advance.
