'''Switzerland''' is a country in [[Western Europe]].<br />
__NOTOC__<br />
In '''Switzerland''' people speak three different languages, depending on the area you are hanging around: [[Germany|German]] in the north and east, [[Italy|Italian]] in the south and [[France|French]] in the western part of the country. There is a large percentage of foreigners, as well as many tourists. Most people will be able to understand some English.<br />
<br />
Hitchhiking is quite doable in '''Switzerland''', especially in the mountain regions and small country roads, where it is quite common to pick up wanderers and hitchhikers. It's also quite easy to get lifts with truck drivers from [[Germany]] to [[Italy]] and back. There are not that many service stations along the highways, and some are not open 24 hours.<br />

===East, South towards [[Bern]], [[Zürich]], [[Luzern]]===<br />
Take S1 or S3 in the direction of Olten or Laufenburg (both'll do..) at Basel's main train station ("Basel SBB"). Get off at ''Pratteln'' and follow the ''Zehntenstrasse'' (parallel to the railway tracks) in the direction of the train you took, for quite a long time. Go left at the ''Obermattstrasse'', go underneath the tracks, then straight. Left at the ''Krummeneichstrasse'', that continues into the ''Giebenacherstrasse''. Follow streets, keep right, you will go underneath the ''Bundesstrasse'', at the other side you go left to ''Götzisbodenweg'', through the ''Bahnunterführung'' (thing going underneath railway tracks), and the service station should be visible from there. Continue the ''Götzisbodenweg'' until there's a crossing in the garden fence and you will be at the motorway service station '''Pratteln-Süd'''. It is open 24 hours a day.<br />
<br />
'''NOTICE:''' It might be useful to use a sign here or to ask people where they're going.. A few kilometres down the road there's a big crossing. You can choose between the direction [[Zürich]] and [[St. Gallen]] '''or''' [[Bern]] and [[Luzern]].<br />
