'''Mendig''' is a small town in the north of [[Rhineland-Palatinate]], [[Germany]] but an important hitchhiking point.
==Hitchhiking==
North of the town you'll find the ''Autohof Mendig''. Usually an ''Autohof'' isn't the best spot to hitchhike in Germany, but this one makes an exception. The ''Autohof'' is very close to the ramp Mendig on the [[A61 (Germany)|A61]]. There is also a lot of transit traffic because the B252 B262 connects the A61 with the [[A48 (Germany)|A48]] and is used by many people who want to save some kilometers. The ramp and the Autohof are on the direct route connecting the [[Ruhr Area]] and [[Cologne]]/[[Bonn]] with [[Trier]], [[Saarbrücken]], [[Luxembourg]] and [[France]]. People taking this route have to use the ramp Mendig. The Autohof has also a [[Petrol station]], a McDonalds restaurant and some more stores which attracts a lot of people. Some people are also coming from [[Maria Laach]] which is a beautiful monastery on a very nice lake, many people make weekend trips to there.
Your best option is to place yourself on the street between McDonalds and the petrol station in front of the traffic light. Autohof Mendig is always full of cars - wating times are usually short. Good luck!
