== The participants ==
21 people, mostly from Germany, but also from [[Belgium]], the [[United Kingdom|UK]], [[Netherlands]], [[United States of America|USA]] and even [[Taiwan]] participated the race. A rule was, that everybody had to hitch in a team of two, the teams were not allowed to seperate until they reached the destination camping site in Liechtenstein. Due to the number of people on the start was odd, one of the organisers ([[User:Platschi|platschi]]) was forced to hitchhike out of competition, alone.
== The routes ==
This route was used by 3 teams and appeared to be the slowest one. The teams on this route got stuck in many traffic jams. The route was 381 km long.
=== Option 3: Karlsruhe -> [[Stuttgart]] -> [[Konstanz]] -> [[St. Gallen|St.Gallen]] -> Liechtenstein ===
This route, was with only 325km the shortest option and used by 1 team. It was a quite fast route, so that the girls team had enough time to go shopping and for a coffee in St.Gallen and still made it to the 4th place.
== The tasks ==
