Bayreuth is a city in Bavaria (Germany).

Hitching out

For getting on the A9 highway you could either take the train towards Pegnitz and head for the petrol station there (i have just looked it up on the map and not yet tried it out, but it should be possible).

For people trying their luck with a sign or thumb, you should head for the highway exit Bayreuth Nord. Compared to the exit Bayreuth Süd, it is a lot easier for the cars to stop for you and there is even a petrol station close to the exit with the possibility to ask people directly. For getting there you take the Bus Nr. 1 towards Laineck. It leaves approximatly every 20 minutes either from ZOH or the main train station. Get off at Königsbergstraße and head 100 meters towards the Autobahn. Take either the Esso Petrol station there or try your luck with the cars passing and stopping at the traffic lights. Take a sign, as there are several possibilities to go.

Heading North

Another possibility is to get to Wolfsbach by bus. From the busstop you pass the village towards the highway and head slightly south towards a tunnel under the highway. Just before the tunnel, there is a small road to the left passing a railroad bridge and going south along the highway. Follow that road for about one kilometer. Right after passing a farm building (to the left) there is the restplace to the right. There is no petrol station here, but the people using the toilet will pick you up.

Heading South

The petrol station in Pegnitz is a good place for people with a “Semesterticket” or someone who is willing to take the train for a bit. Near the resting place close to Wolfsbach there is also another resting place on the opposite side of the motorway for the other direction. Both resting places are connected with a bridge across the motorway. I have not tried it out yet.
