Slapy – Štěchovice boat transport by tractor

Slapy – Štěchovice boat transport by tractor

15. 2. 2023 Vyp Od Tomáš Hruška

If you want to get to Budejice, or just from Prague to Slapy, you have to be transported by a tractor, which stands under the dam of the Slapy dam at the Štěchovice dam, or just on the other side on the upper water at Slapy by the dam.

It is forbidden to carry persons on a boat when it is being pulled by a tractor and also forbidden to carry them in the cab of the tractor. Having a bike can ease transportation between places. The ferryman’s safety responsibility requires bikes to be transported separately. The transfer takes about 20 minutes.

You can now book on the booking system here, which I’ll be testing for the first time this year, so I’ll post if it works then. Otherwise I’ve always called, and I think this option is also in use.

Recommendations :

  • book your transfer in advance
  • always call at least one hour before the end, if there are more boats, you will not get on anyway
  • I’ll try getting a private transport number, costs around 500 CZK, for transportation between the places.
