KOLOVRÁTEK

Kolovraty
This city quarter of Prague is situated South-East of Prague in the direction of Říčany.

Among other lines you will also find a school bus transporting pupils to the school at Uhříněves. Passenger car transport will in the near future undergo a significant change, motorway R1 is planned as a bypass of Prague, that will pass Kolovraty nearby and will significantly improve transport accessibility of Kolovraty. Construction of this motorway bypass should commence in 2009 and be finished in 2012.
