'''Villach''' ([[Slovenia]]n: ''Beljak'') is a city in [[Austria]] near the [[Slovenia]]n border. It is an important spot on the direct connection between [[Germany]] and [[Kranj]] and [[Ljubljana]] ([[Germany|German]]: ''Laibach'') in [[Slovenia]] and the [[Croatia]]n coast. (For example most of the numerous people that go for holidays to the Croatian coast pass here.)
== Hitching Out out ==
=== South towards [[Slovenia]], [[Ljubljana]] ===
To the south there is a motorway going through the Karawanken Tunnel over to [[Jesenice]] ([[Germany|German]]: ''[[Aßling]]'') in [[Slovenia]]. Apart from that there is also the old road over the pass.
One possibility is catching a ride towards Salzburg to the next gas station [[Feistritz]]. Plenty of cars stopping there into BOTH in '''both''' directions (north and south).

To the north there is the Tauern-motorway going to [[Salzburg]] and [[Germany]].
=== Personal experiences ===
During the [[Abgefahren hitchhiking race 2010]] some teams had major problems getting away from Villach to Slovenia and from Rasthof Feistritz in particular. Also, the on-ramp Faakersee didn't work well for them. The Villach experience was so traumatizing for some of the teams that they made the new figure of speech "to have a Villach" (German "einen Villach haben") - if you had a very unlucky or bad day - and now trying to establish this phrase among the [[hitchhikers jargon]].
