The '''Abgefahren hitchhiking race 2011''' was the fourth hitchhiking race from the German autostop society [[Abgefahren e.V.]]. It started in [[Freiburgim Breisgau]], [[Germany]] and the destination was [[Pettenasco]] Lago d'Orta, [[Italy]]. It was propagated as the ''German hitchhiking championships 2011''. The race started on June 11th 2011.
== The participants ==
[[File:team21.JPG|thumb|left|Team 21, a nice boy and a nice girl, before the start]]101 people, mostly from Germany and Freiburg, but also from [[Ireland]], [[Russia]], [[Lithuania]], [[Finland]] and Italy participated the race. A rule was, that everybody had to hitch in a team of two or more, the teams were not allowed to separate until they reached the destination camping site in Bled.
== The route ==
For all teams, the destination was secret until the race really started. Also the used route was choice of the teams.
The most taken route was:
=== Option 1: ===
Freiburg -> [[Basel]] -> [[Luzern]] -> [[Gotthard]] -> [[Bellinzona]] -> [[Verbania]] -> Lago d'Orta.
Some teams made also a detour via [[Zürich]]. === Option 2: ===Other teams, including the Winner winner team took the route :Freiburg -> [[Basel]] -> [[Luzern]] -> [[Brig|Brig-Glis]] -> [[Simplon Pass]] -> [[Domodossola]] -> Lago d'Orta. This was faster because there was a major traffic jam (up to 15km) in the Gottard tunnel, thats also why most teams hitched the passGotthard Pass and not the tunnel.
One team got a direct Lift from Freiburg to Lago d'Orta but still only made it to the third place because they where stuck in the Gotthard traffic jam.
The hardest part of the route where were the last 60km where most teams had to hitch around the [[Lago Maggiore]] and needed many lifts from one village to the next. Thats also why some teams arrived the next day.
== The winners ==
[[File:third.JPG|thumb|right|Philipp & Philipp celebrating their third place with beer]]The winners got the award ''German hitchhiking champion 2011'', a gold medal, t-shirts, a hammock and a slackline sponsord by [[http://www.gibbon-slacklines.com gibbon slacklines].The winner was a team with the two girls. Also the Flemish non-profit hitchhiking organization [[Myoto]] supported the race - they gave the very nice hitchhiking hands you can see on the photo.
Late at saturday on Saturday evening , a motorhome packed with 10 9 hitchhikers and 3 German drivers arrived at the camping site.
