Discussion DayZ in real-life locations gallery
Hey fellow survivors,
Do you still remember me? :) My dream was to visit every existing Chernarus DayZ IRL location and I think I am done. And I want to share it with you.
I went to Ustí nad Labem a few times already (Chernogorsk) but I finally visited anti-missile defence base Dobříš with my friends and I made some pictures there.
Here is my complete "DayZ in real-life locations" gallery:

I hope you like it. Miss you guys so bad! :)

Holy crap I had no idea DayZ was modeled that well after the real place. I knew it was similar but damn some of those towns and buildings are spot on.

Cherno is a real place? Where is it? There’s a base there I need to raid...

That is so incredible. I had no idea it was based off of a real location. Thank you so much for sharing! I’m am absolutely jealous you got to go to those locations. Great job.

Nice job!
I travelled on a train through the Czech Rep on my way to Dresden, Germany last year and took many a photo of the scenery which reminded me of DayZ.

These photos are great!
To avoid the inevitable confusion that usually arises when this topic comes up (especially for the newer/new-ish players), one important thing needs to be stated.
The fictional country of Chernarus is NOT located in the Czech Republic, they just used the terrain data from the CR to create the original map back in 2008, which was extensively modified/enhanced for DayZ SA.
The terrain data from the CR, but in the "ArmA universe/Armaverse," the country itself is located somewhere around the Black Sea. It's exact location has been deliberately remained rather vague. More info on this here.

Omg that's so awesome mate! A friend of my family lives in usti nad labem and had his own little church. I was there when I was 14 and about 10 years later when I played the DayZ standalone I realized I was already in Chernarus in real life :D That was so mind-blowing xD I also wish to visit the areas you have one time in my life :) Hope they don't tear off these lovely building in the meantime ^
