Out of town trips
[edit]The bus line 590 served by an operator Autobusy Karlovy Vary (AKV for short), goes to Vejprty and up to Annaberg-Buchholz (depending on turnus). The app IDOS (idos.cz) shows you the schedule.
- Vejprty and Bärenstein at the Czech/German border (Be aware that Verjprty are Terminus on this turnus. You can walk to Bärenstein as it only takes 5 minutes). It takes about 1 hour for 78 Kč, but if you pay with a debit card you save 10% only costing 70,20 Kč. (May 2025). The bus goes every hour.
- Annaberg-Buchholz in Sansen. About 1:25 h for 114 Kč (103 with debit card) (May 2025). The bus goes every 2 hours. As on May 2025 the bus, on the way back serves some (not all them, due to them being one way only) stops in Annaberg. It's Busbahnhof, Gerisch Ruh, Unterer Bahnhof (basically a train station) and Turnhalle (more info in IDOS). Also note: You aren't allowed by the operator to travel to German stops in Germany (e.g. from Annaberg to Bärenstein, logically it's fine if you want to stop in Vejprty), so you can take a bus 411 (served by RVE) between Annaberg and Bärenstein.
