České Velenice, Italy

České Velenice is a border train station in the western part of České Velenice in South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It lies on the electrified track České Budějovice–Gmünd (199) (25 kV, 50 Hz AC/15 kV 16,7 Hz) and also not-electrified track České Velenice–Veselí nad Lužnicí (226). The sta

tion is an important regional interchange between České dráhy's regional trains (Os & R) going to České Budějovice and Veselí nad Lužnicí (with R trains further to Prague) and ÖBB's regional express trains (REX) to Vienna. When the station was created, the territory belonged to the Austrian town of Gmünd. The contact with the Austrian railway system is at the bridge over the Lužnice River, which forms the state border and the ownership between Správa železnic and ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG.
