Freiburg might be a good stopover for a longer trip in [[Europe]] because its quite central and wasy to exit and to leave. Another advantage is that it 's easy to find free [[http://www.bewelcome.org|accomodation]] in Freiburg.

By the way Freiburg is a nice Student town with around 220000 220.000 inhabitants - 40000 40.000 of them are students. So you definatelly definitely gonna find someone to drink a beer with.

=Getting Hitching Out====West towards ''?''===Get to the south east of the city where the ''Leo-Wohleb-Straße'' and ''Schwarzwaldstraße'' meet each other (B31). Somewhere there is a strip of grass right in front of a side road. As this is a busy road leading out of the town waiting time is not very long.===North, South towards [[A5 (Germany)|A5]], [[France]], [[Basel]] ([[Switzerland]]), [[Karlsruhe]]===Take a tram till "Holzmarkt". Line 2,3 or 5 are heading there. Walk from the stop outside of the city towards direction of the river ''Dreisam''. There you are turning right and at the traffic light you can ask the cars for your destination.*For heading north the next gas station is "Mahlberg" right before [[Offenburg]]. For heading south there is no gas station before the highway leads to [[France]] ([[Muhlhouse]], [[Besancon]], [[Lyon]]) but there is one before [[Basel]] ([[Switzerland]]).*If you want to go to France it might be better to get to the ramp ''Freiburg Nord''. You can get there with tram line 2 towards ''Zähringen'', get out at the last station. From there it's a 400m walking to the spot. Try to get a ride from there to the [[A5 (Germany)|A5]] direction south. This way you pass by the service station "Schauinsland" which is the last one before [[France]].

Get to the south east of the city where Leo-Wohleb-Straße and Schwarzwaldstraße meet (B31). Somewhere there is a strip of grass right in front of a side road. As this is a busy road leading out of the town waiting time is not very long. ==Heading north / south A5 Hitching In== Take a tram till "Holzmarkt", I think Line 2,3,5 heading there and go from the stop outside of the city in direction of the river Dreisam. There yo are turning right and on the redlight you can ask the cars for your destination.For heading north the next gas station is "Mahlberg" right before Offenburg and heading south is no gas station before the highway leads to [[France|France]] ([[Muhlhouse|Mulhouse]], [[Besancon|Besancon]], [[Lyon|Lyon]]) but there is one before Basel ([[Switzerland|Switzerland]]).If you want to go to France it might be better to et to the Freiburg Nord entrance of the Highway (Tram Lina 2 -> Zähringen until last sation and from there 400 m walking) and try to get a ride from there to the A5 direction south. This way you pass by the Service Station "Schauinsland" which is the last one before [[France|France]]. You can as well wait after the crossroad with a sign. (I don t recommend that, but if you don t speak German make sign "A 5 -> KA ([[Karlsruhe|Karlsruhe]]) or BS ([[Basel|Basel]]) =Getting In:= It 's not recomended, if you are comming coming from north to get off at "Schauninsland" Service Stationgas station.Try to find someone in [[Mahrlberg]], [[Baden Baden ]] or [[Bruchsal ]] who is going straight there. The Highway highway doesn 't go directly through the city so driver are unlickely to go 15 km extra just to drop you off in the city if they wantto want to continue their trip. If you are comming coming from the south you can get of off at the "Breisgau" Service Stationservice station. There should shouldn't be a problem with finding someone who is going into town.
