Another test: Wien to Hukvaldy. It tells you how to get by train to Pribor, and then tells you to drive (drive what? There's not even a bar at the station, let alone a car rental company). The drive is supposed to take 6 hours, for 466 km (I've walked it in about an hour).

I don't understand... you've walked 466 km in an hour?

Ohhhhh, I see where you're confused: the "drive" portion of the results are for when you drive rather than taking a train. DRIVING from Wien to Hukvaldy is a 4 hour trip. The train trip involves no driving. There's no reasonable flight method according to the results.

Does that help?

Well, dang, NOW I see where you got that result, and I think it's an obvious error on their part in that final rail posting, which suggests you can't get to Hukvaldy by train, apparently. But the mileage and time are obviously way off even by their own map illustration.

You can't get there by train. But you can presumably get from Pribor to Hukvaldy by taxi by calling the number posted at the station, and requesting a taxi (in Czech, of course).
