<hr />
<div>'''Innsbruck''' is a city in [[Austria]]. It is situated north of the [[Brenner|Brenner-pass]], one of the main south-north crossing traffic axes in the Alps, squeezed in the Inn River valley which dictates the directions of the traffic ways.<br />
Due to the lack of space in the Inn River valley, Innsbruck offers 5 different motorway exits and a complicated system of traffic lanes.<br />
<br />
== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
<br />
=== Heading West or South ===<br />
<br />
There's the service station ''Raststätte Innsbruck-Ampass'' on the motorway east of town, in the direction west. However it's before the turnoff going south to Italy, so you'll find most cars going south. <br />
<br />
Also, if you want to go west, keep in mind that the first petrol station after Innsbruck (''Pettnau'', 25km west of Innsbruck) is on the other side of the motorway. People going west '''can''' fuel up there, but again you'll find almost only cars going south to Italy. <br />
<br />
====How to get there:====<br />
Find a map of the buses or ask somebody how to get to ''Baggersee''. <br />
Once there, continue Grabenweg street for 400m north-east, until you reach the Inn river. Turn right and follow the street, not the trail. It'll lead to ''Freizeitzentrum Rossau'', and just before the street ends there's a way off to the left, to the Freizeitzentrum's parking place. <br />
Continue the path to the golf course and find your way into the little forest behind and above it. There's a path in the forest, continue that to the right. At one point after about 200m the path splits, go downhill on the left. There you are on the service station's parking!<br />
<br />
(There might be a shorter way from Baggersee bus stop going through the bushes between Kläranlage and Baggersee, however that isn't yet verified.)<br />
<br />
=== All directions: South ([[Italy]]), East ([[Salzburg]], [[Vienna]]), North ([[Germany]], [[Munich]]), West ([[Bregenz]]) ===<br />
<br />
Go to the shopping-centre DEZ, Ikea (by bus C (EUR 1.70) or walk from the centre in 20 min) - there are two petrol stations and a big parking space, McD, where you can ask and hitch out in all directions.<br />
<br />
If you don't find lifts to the next city try to get lifts to the next biggest motorway service area (Raststätte) outside of Innsbruck:<br />
* East: Vomp<br />
* West: Pettnau<br />
* South: Brenner<br />
<br />
=== Heading East towards [[Salzburg]], [[Rosenheim]], [[Munich]] ===<br />
Starting point: Exit Innbruck Ost (East), at the fuel stations on the very end of Amraser-See-Straße, next to the DEZ shopping mall.<br />
Right now (Aug 2015), the first of these petrol stations is under construction and therefore not usable (Shell) and the last one before the motorway (Agip) has no good spot for hitchhikers.<br />
==== Getting there by bus ====<br />
Line C (direction Luigenstraße) exit DEZ, or line T exit DEZ Ost, and walk the last few meters towards the biggest road close by. Check [http://www.ivb.at/fileadmin/download/fahrplan/mein-fahrplan/liniennetzplan/ivb_liniennetzplan_schematisch_2008.pdf the schematic map of the local public transport] or [http://www.ivb.at/index.php?id=ivb&L=1 their webpage] also in English for further information. The bus takes you 1.70€ (Summer 2008).<br />
A sign indicating your desired direction might help you getting along. Good luck!<br />
<br />
=== Heading North or West ([[Landeck]], [[Reutte]], [[Füssen]], [[Kempten]], [[Scharnitz]], [[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]], [[Munich]]) ===<br />
There are several opportunities in Innsbruck but no real "first choice" option. So here is one:<br />
<br />
==== Motorway exit Innsbruck Kranebitten ====<br />
This a a lonely motorway exit in the very west of Innsbruck with a free Space just in the middle of the different lanes joining together in the direction of Bregenz and Germany. It is not a nice spot but it works! <br />
===== Getting there by bus =====<br />
Take line T of the IVB Buses running towards "EKZ CYTA" a suburban shopping centre. You are passing the motorway exit by bus just after crossing the Inn River bridge. Get of the Bus at EKZ Cyta, get all you need at the shopping centre and walk back to the motorway exit, which comes first after the roundabout. <br />
* Check [http://www.ivb.at/fileadmin/download/fahrplan/mein-fahrplan/liniennetzplan/ivb_liniennetzplan_schematisch_2008.pdf the schematic map of the local public transport] or [http://www.ivb.at/index.php?id=ivb&L=1 their webpage] also in English for further information. The bus takes you EUR 1.70 (Summer 2008).<br />
A sign indicating your desired direction might help you getting along. Good luck!<br />
<br />
Just a kilometre after you enter the motorway, the road splits up - one minor road running north directly to [[Germany]] ([[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]], [[Munich]]) and the motorway continuing to run west - make sure you are in the desired direction!<br />
<br />
==== Resselstraße ====<br />
A less awkward place to hitch north or west is by the bus stop at Resselstraße, next to the stadium. Drivers can see you easily here and there is lots of space to stop. [[User:Jophro|Jophro]] got a ride here in 20 mins after failing to find one in 45 mins at the aforementioned DEZ centre, same for [[User:madde|madde]]. It's clearly a popular spot (you'll notice a worn patch of grass ahead of the bus stop) - when he arrived another hitchhiker was there who got a ride in 7 mins. He found it more effective to take his approach and simply write 'D', instead of the city - if you're going to Germany.<br />
In case you are confused, although the road signs are hard to see, its the bus stop next to the stadium, not the one in the opposite side of the street.<br />
<br />
== Sleeping ==<br />
Innsbruck is quite pricy, especially in the christmas holidays - as of 26.12.2015 the cheapest backpackers were around 30e/night if booking 1 day in advance.<br />
The airport seems to close for night, but the main train station is open 24h. In the lower floor, as of 12.2015 there is a room in Info, with chairs where people wait for trains, I suppose you can sleep there, if you look enough like you are having a train :D<br />
In emergency you can try https://www.google.de/maps/place/Wohnungslosenhilfe+Herberge+Innsbrucker+Soziale+Dienste+GmbH/@47.2637662,11.4059218,17z/data=!4m7!1m4!3m3!1s0x479d6ecfe1f8ca73:0x9d201c7d281d9b0d!2sInnsbruck,+Austria!3b1!3m1!1s0x479d69599b5e9d15:0xabd9c84b28bf78fc?hl=en-DE<br />

Though it is questionable if it is ethically correct to get hosted in the places that are ment for homeless, not hobo travellers.<br />

Regensburg is a city in Eastern [[Bavaria]], located between [[Munich]] (130 km to the south), [[Nürnberg|Nuremberg]] (110 km to the north-west), [[Prague|Praha]] (260 km to the north-east) and [[Linz]] (230 km to the east). It is a main stop on the way from BeNeLux and [[Germany]] (except the very south-east) to [[Vienna]], [[Hungary]] and whole south-eastern [[Europe]]. Two motorways are crossing at Kreuz Regensburg (some 5km from the City center):<br />
<br />
* [[A3 (Germany)|A3]] from [[Frankfurt]]-[[Würzburg]]-[[Nürnberg]] to [[Passau]]-[[Linz]]-[[Vienna|Wien]]<br />
* [[A93 (Germany)|A93]] from [[Munich|München]] to [[Berlin]], [[Dresden]] or [[Prague|Praha]]<br />
<br />
== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
The easiest place to reach from the city center is the exit ''Regensburg-Königswiesen'' (no. 42). You can use it for all directions. Coming from the center take the bus #4 (direction ''Lilienthalstraße'' or ''Universität'') or #10 (direction ''Dechbetten''). Don't take the ones going just to ''Königswiesen''. Information on all buses you will find at the web site of [http://www.rvv.de RVV]. You also can take #1 (direction ''Prüfening'') which runs every 10 minutes on working days. Leave the bus at ''Dechbetten'' (#4 and #10) or at ''Lilienthalstraße'' (#1 and #4). From this stop head to the south crossing under the railways, crossing a junction and you will see the ramp ''Königswiesen''. Always take the ramp east of the motorway for direction north {{north}} and from west of the motorway for (direction {{south}} ''(south)'').<br />

=== South, North, East towards [[Munich|München]], [[Dresden]], [[Prague|Praha]] ===<br />
* The spot mentioned above is a perfect place for the cars to stop but you will need a sign ([[Nürnberg]], [[Munich|München]] or [[Passau]]). If you wanna go to the north (Berlin, Dresden, Praha) look also for cars going to München and get out after 8km on the Raststätte ''Pentling'' (both directions). There you will find a ride quite fast. Notice that there are no more service stations on the [[A93 (Germany)|A93]]. So your next stop on your way to Praha should be at the border (''Waidhaus/Rozvadov''). <br />
<br />
* If you intend to continue your way to the south towards [[Austria]], [[Switzerland]] or [[Italy]] be sure not to end up in down-town [[Munich|München]]. Last chance to change the car is at Raststätte ''Holledau'' (both directions) about 50 km before [[Munich|München]].<br />
<br />
=== West towards [[Heilbronn]], [[Stuttgart]] ===<br />
* If you are on the way to [[Heilbronn]]/[[Stuttgart]]/[[Heidelberg]] or [[Würzburg]]/[[Frankfurt]] you might have to change the car at Raststätte ''Jura'' 60 km on your way to [[Nürnberg]]. <br />
<br />
=== East towards [[Passau]] ===<br />
* If you are heading to the east there is an ''Autohof'' at the exit ''Regensburg-Ost'' (#101). Not too many cars there and only suitable to travel along A3. You can reach this place also by bus from the city center. Take bus #9 to ''Neutraubling'' and get out at [http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&hl=de&geocode=6881126604781930165,48.996097,12.149670&time=&date=&ttype=&q=Junkersstra%C3%9Fe+%4048.996097,+12.149670&sll=48.995002,12.150364&sspn=0.012615,0.040169&ie=UTF8&ll=48.996466,12.149677&spn=0.012614,0.040169&z=15&om=1 Junkerstrasse]). The next service station is Raststätte ''Bayerischer Wald'' some 50 km on your way to [[Passau]]. Notice that the Raststätte ''Passau'' is not very popular as the fuel is much cheaper only a few kilometers after the border at ''Suben''.<br />
