{{IsIn|Germany}}
'''Eisenach''' is known for the [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wartburg Wartburg], one of Germany's oldest (existing) and most visited castles. The [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennsteig Rennsteig], a long distance hiking path (170 kilometer), is also very nearby the city. Eisenach is also the homebase of the hitchhiking club "Club of Roam - Autostop! e.V. ", organising the [[Tramprennen]].
The complete situation around Eisenach ([[Thuringia]]) has changed a lot during the years 2009 and 2011. A new motorway bypass for the [[A4 (Germany)|A4]]/E40 has been built. The old A4 is now the new B7/B19/B 88 but not leading back to the autobahn A4 in eastern direction any more. Some stretches have completely been dismantled. Older maps might not be showing the present situation correctly.
== Hitching out ==
'''West:''' To reach [http://www.autohof-guide.de/lomo-autohof-eisenach-sued.html LOMO Autohof Eisenach] from the city centre of Eisenach you can take bus number 5 to "Karlskuppe" until "Obere Kassler straße" and hitchhike directly at the bus stop or some metres behind. Use a sign "A4" or "Creuzburg" (next village). You can ask the driver to bring you to the petrol station. '''East:''' Take the bus number 5 to "Karlskuppe" and hop off at the last station. Once you are there, ask people at the petrol station near the McDonalds if they are going to the A4. Most do and they just need to drop you at the roundabout close to the Autobahn. From there you can walk to "Am Marktrasen" and continue on the street "An der Autobahn" to reach Rasthaus Eisenach Nord. There will be signs that trespassing is forbidden but the area is just riddled with abandoned factories and nobody cares if you walk through. You can also easily reach the other side from there by just climbing up the stairs.
