How does the Liberec → Dresden route run?

From Liberec we take road I/35 via Chrastava to Hrádek nad Nisou, cross a short stretch of Polish territory in the Three-Country Corner near Porajów and Sieniawka into Zittau, and follow the B178 to the A4 motorway at Weißenberg. The A4 then leads past Bautzen to Dresden – about 120 km in total.

The route is short but passes through three countries. A vehicle can load in the Liberec Region and unload in Dresden within half a day and pick up a return load in the afternoon.

Where do we load and unload between Liberec and Dresden?

In the Liberec Region we load in the Liberec-Jih and Hrádek nad Nisou industrial zones and in Jablonec nad Nisou, Turnov, Česká Lípa and Frýdlant. The region has a strong base of automotive suppliers and a tradition of textile and glass manufacturing.

In Saxony we unload in Dresden and in Upper Lusatia along the A4 – in Bautzen, Kamenz or Ottendorf-Okrilla. Thanks to the route via Zittau, Zittau, Löbau and Görlitz are also served without a detour.

What is shipped between Liberec and Dresden?

From the Liberec Region we mainly carry automotive parts, technical and non-woven textiles, glassware and costume jewellery from the Jablonec area, plastic mouldings and engineering products.

Back to the Czech Republic we bring components and materials for manufacturers in the Liberec Region. The short distance makes the route ideal for regular shuttle runs and fast spare-part deliveries.

What to watch out for on the Liberec → Dresden route

  • The route briefly crosses Poland, so Polish rules apply on that section – including the driving ban for vehicles over 12 t on Polish public holidays and summer weekends.
  • Driving ban for vehicles over 7.5 t: in the Czech Republic on Sundays and public holidays 13:00–22:00, in Germany on Sundays and public holidays 00:00–22:00, and in Saxony also on 31 October and the Day of Repentance and Prayer – see our driving ban calendar.
  • The German truck toll applies to vehicles over 3.5 t on the B178 and the A4; in the Czech Republic the toll is charged on tolled sections.
  • The drive through Poland is transit and the transport itself is bilateral, so the driver posting rules do not apply.

Frequently asked questions

How long does freight from Liberec to Dresden take?
The route is about 120 km and the usual transit time is under 2.5 hours.
Which way does the truck go from Liberec to Dresden?
On the I/35 to Hrádek nad Nisou, briefly across Polish territory to Zittau, on the B178 to the A4 at Weißenberg and on the A4 past Bautzen to Dresden.
Why does the route from Liberec to Dresden pass through Poland?
The shortest link runs from Hrádek nad Nisou through the Three-Country Corner, where the road crosses Polish territory for a few kilometres before reaching Zittau. Within the Schengen area this causes no delay.
Do different rules apply on the Polish section?
Yes, Polish rules apply there, including the driving ban for vehicles over 12 t on Polish public holidays and summer weekends. We therefore plan dates around Polish holidays in advance.
Do driver posting rules apply to the transit through Poland?
No. The drive through Poland is transit and the Liberec → Dresden transport itself is bilateral, so posting under the EU Mobility Package does not apply.
Can you load or unload in Zittau or Görlitz on the way?
Yes. Zittau lies directly on the route and Görlitz, Löbau and Bautzen are close by, so stops in Upper Lusatia can be combined with the run to Dresden.
Do you also load in Jablonec nad Nisou, Turnov or Česká Lípa?
Yes, anywhere in the Liberec Region. From Jablonec and Turnov we go via Liberec on the I/35; from Česká Lípa we choose the shortest route according to the loading point.
What goods are most often shipped from the Liberec Region to Saxony?
Automotive parts, technical and non-woven textiles, glass and costume jewellery from the Jablonec area, plastic mouldings and engineering products.
How many Liberec → Dresden runs can you do per day?
At around 120 km a vehicle can usually manage two rounds a day, which suits shuttle supply of production lines.
Do I need customs documents between Liberec and Dresden?
Not for goods in free circulation within the EU. A delivery note or invoice is enough; we issue the CMR consignment note ourselves.
When can't trucks set off because of driving bans?
Vehicles over 7.5 t do not drive in the Czech Republic on Sundays and public holidays 13:00–22:00 and in Germany on Sundays and public holidays 00:00–22:00, in Saxony also on 31 October and the Day of Repentance and Prayer. Polish holidays apply on the Polish section.
Can you arrange an express delivery of a spare part to Dresden?
Yes. The van leaves right after loading and runs direct without transhipment; the part is usually in Dresden within three hours of loading.
Which vehicles do you arrange on the Liberec → Dresden route?
7.5-tonne and rigid trucks with tail lifts for shuttle supply, articulated trucks with 13.6 m trailers for full loads and vans up to 3.5 t for urgent shipments.
Do you also ship from Dresden back to Liberec?
Yes, we run in both directions. Return loads in Saxony are combined with trips to the Liberec Region, so lead times are short.
How do I find out where my shipment is?
We keep you informed – we confirm loading, the estimated arrival time and unloading, and on request send the signed CMR consignment note.
Is regular transport on the Liberec → Dresden route possible as transport there and back?
Yes. For regular transport on the Liberec → Dresden route we agree fixed loading days and, if you wish, transport there and back so the vehicle does not return empty. Regular shipments run at a rate agreed for a longer period.
