Looks like mullein. Pretty common roadside weed in many parts of the US. Allegedly medicinal though I've never tried it and wouldn't harvest any that had been marinating in exhaust fumes.
It is.
The German name for it translates to king's candle. I like it a lot.
Czech translate to " suprised plant" don't know why.
Also known as toilet paper weed due to its soft velvety leaves....
(Do not use as toilet paper, it's used as a prank for new foresters. Little hairs come of the leaves and become very irritating/itchy)
