To hitchhike out of Sankt Pölten:

East towards WIEN and West towards AMSTETTEN / SALZBURG:

From the city (eg.train station) take Bus number 1, 7 or 8 until the stop Geschütze Werkstätte From there walk a few meters the direction the bus is driving, turn right into the next street (Kelsengasse). At the end of Kelsengasse you are facing a smaller street, train tracks and a big street. You have to cross ALL of them to the other side (this includes climbing a little fence, but it's not very hard - possible with backpack).

Finally you are on the side where there are the ramps on the highway A1 (another name of this higway is Westautobahn). To go to the ramp towards east (Wien) follow the street to the left. For the ramp towards west (Amstetten/Salzburg) follow the street to the right. You will see signs.

Follow the ramp a few meters up, then there's a little place to ur right hand where cars can stop. File:Map.npg
