Observations of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from supernovaremnants (SNR) established them as sources of accelerated particles up toenergies of 100 TeV. The dominant process - leptonic or hadronic - responsiblefor the VHE emission is still not proven for most of the SNRs.  Molecular clouds (MCs) in the vicinity of SNRs provide increased amount oftarget material for accelerated particles escaping the SNRs, thus making MCspotential gamma-ray sources. The predicted gamma-ray flux for MCs offset fromthe SNR shock depends on the applied diffusion model for VHE particles and theSNR and MC properties, which encounter large uncertainties. While the theaverage galactic diffusion coefficient is estimated, the spatially resolvedpropagation properties of VHE cosmic rays are unknown. gamma-ray emitting MCsprovide a unique possibility to derive new information on the propagation ofVHE particles through the ISM and on the acceleration of hadrons at SNRs.  We present in this paper a strategy and first results of a systematic searchfor TeV gamma-ray emitting MCs in the vicinity of SNRs in the galactic planeregion. Based on a theoretical model and current SNR and MC catalogues thedetectable parameter space (e.g. diffusion coefficient, SNR age) for currentImaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope systems (IACTs) is obtained. Thisallows to identify potential gamma-ray emitting regions.
