“two guys having a sign CZ. Almost nobody goes to CZ, because they mostly go through Regensburg, it would be a great detour to go through here. I believe that someone waited here 13 hours to get to Prague. Anyway, a guy stopped after 45 mins and told us he's going close to CZ. I thought he was taking A 6, but he took A9 and left us close to Hof, so we had to go to Dresden and then finally to Prague”
