Important information for your journey: From June 2 the road through Störnstein will be closed until the end of June. Therefore, direct access via the Autobahn 93 and the “Neustadt a.d. Waldnaab” exit is not possible. Coming from the A93, please take the “Weiden Süd” exit and drive via Theisseil and Floß to Flossenbürg. You can find a sketch of the detour here. Travel via the A6 (Nuremberg-Prague) is not affected by the closure.
