tbh, for me as an Austrian it's no easy either, despite pronouncing the letters the same. It's the many consonants in comparison that makes it hard. And the Háčeks.

Adršpach is Adersbach in Germam for example. Teplice/Teplitz is easier, altough I was never sure if you pronounce the "c" as "ts" or "tsch".

Even if you try to read it slowly? German does have words with similarly long consonant combos, like "Durchschnitt" (which looks even scarier, though in terms of actual sounds, its r-ch-sch-n, if I'm not mistaken, which is 4 constants, same as "dršp")
