'''Bayreuth''' is a city in [[Bavaria]] ([[Germany]]).

== Hitchhiking out ==
For getting on the [[A9 (Germany)|A9]] motorway you could either take the train towards Pegnitz and head for the petrol station there (i have just looked it up on the map and not yet tried it out, but it should be possible).
=== [[A9 (Germany)|A9]] north ([[Hof]], [[Leipzig]]) and south ([[Nürnberg|Nuremberg]], [[Munich]]) ===
'''Straight from the city'''
For people trying their luck with a [[signs|sign]] or thumb, you should head for the motorway exit ''Bayreuth Nord''. Compared to the exit ''Bayreuth Süd'', it is a lot easier for the cars to stop for you and there is even a petrol station close to the exit with the possibility to ask people directly. For getting there you take the Bus Nr. 1 towards Laineck. It leaves approximately every 20 minutes either from ZOH or the main train station. Get off at ''Königsbergstraße'' and head 100 meters towards the Autobahn. Take either the Esso Petrol station there or try your luck with the cars passing and stopping at the [[traffic light hitchhiking|traffic lights]]. Take a sign, as there are several possibilities to go. Another option (if heading north) is after the big roundabout straight at the highway ramp. Cars are not going too fast (due to the roundabout), they can see you there is enough space to stop and you will not get into trouble as long as you stand before the sign marking the start of the highway. To get there take the same bus, get off at the train station in Laineck and head North-East through the industrial area until you see the roundabout.
On the ramp ''Bayreuth Süd'' there is also a major traffic light were you could flag down cars but no patrol station and very limited space for the cars to stop. Afterwards, straight before the ramp, there are no (legal) possibilities for the cars to stop.
From the city center you can walk the Hindenburgstraße until you cross the Nordring. After the crossing you'll find a busstop. From there many cars go in direction Kulmbach - and some also on the [[A70 (Germany)|A70]] to Bamberg or Schweinfurt (can be better with a sign to this direction), but at least Kulmbach should be easy.
