==Hitching OutHitchhiking out ==<map lat='47.56170075451973' lng='7.6197052001953125' zoom='11' view='0' float='right'/>===East, South towards [[Bern]], [[Zürich]], [[Luzern]]===Take the 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 short time. Go left at the ''Obermattstrasse''little steps, go which lead to a road underneath the tracks, then straight. Left Turn right at the ''Krummeneichstrasse''main road, that then continues into on the road ''GiebenacherstrasseHohenrainstrasse''. Follow streetsthis road for 5 minutes, keep righton the left footpath, and you will go underneath the ''Bundesstrasse'', at the other side you go then see a small commercial area. Turn left to ''Götzisbodenweg''onto this street , through the ''BahnunterführungZurlindenstrasse'' (thing going underneath railway tracks), and the service station should be visible from there. Continue the ''Götzisbodenweg'' walk down until there's you reach a little forest with a crossing in path going down. Follow the garden fence and path. Then you will be at the motorway service station '''Pratteln-Süd'''. It is open 24 hours a day.
'''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]].
=== North towards [[Germany]], [[Freiburg]] ===
You should follow the directions in the first paragraph. Also, one has to go to the other side of this [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] to go to [[Germany]]. There is a crossing at the restaurant at the '''Pratteln-Nord''' [[rest area|service station]].
A bigger rest area is just on the border to Germany! There it is very easy to find rides. You have to take the Regional express train to "Weil am Rhein".Then walk back in the opposite direction the train was driving. You see a bridge leading over the railway lines. Cross the bridge and walk straight ahead till there is a second street turning right. Just follow this road to the rest area! (You can see it soon so it’s impossible you don’t find it!) *Update (11-Aug-2014): If you want to try hitchhiking directly out of the city, walk from the trainstation Basel SBB (exit city) towards the tramstops. Once you reach the busy street (Nauenstrasse) turn to the right and follow this street. This street leads towards the highway entry, so you can start thumbing once you walked past a big bridge that goes to the right (Münchensteinerstrasse). After that turn, cars can stop easily on the sidewalk and can either take you to your desired direction or leave at the service station "Pratteln-Süd", where you can also cross the highway and find rides in all directions (see first paragraph). * A helpful cutout of a [http://map.search.ch/?x=-42442m&y=73842m&z=512 map] == Sleeping == In summer it's usually no problem to camp in one of the Parks (f.e. Kannenfeldpark) or go to the nearby Forest Lange Erle. {{anarchopediaIsIn|Switzerland}}__NOTOC__ {{Template:Cities Switzerland}}
