== Hitching Hitchhiking out ===== Direction North, South, East {{Autobahn|5}} {{Autobahn|8}} {{E|35}} {{E|52}} =======Option 1====
The [[A5 (Germany)|A5]] is passing Karlsruhe and connects it to [[Frankfurt am Main]], [[Basel]], [[Stuttgart]] and other cities.
The best ramp for the directions North and East is Karlsruhe-Durlach. Take the tram '''1''', '''2''', '''S4''' or '''S5''' to ''Weinweg''. There is a gas petrol station close by where you can ask people, but or you can stand nearby the exit of the petrol station - around 10 meters away from it. There is a safe place where the people can turn off behind you . You can also stand directly on the ramp, waving a sign or a thumb. The hard shoulder serves enough space for anyone to stop, but the cars go a little fast.__TOC__
====Option 2====Near [[Bruchsal]], there is a very huge service area at the [[A5 (Germany)|A5]]. It's about 1 hour 40 minutes by tram and bus and the fare is 3 EUR. See [[Bruchsal]] for details.
== Sleep == Option 3 ====There is a camping site service station in ''Durlach''[[Baden-Baden]], 30 km south of Karlsruhe. Just take a tram to Durlach, there Be aware that this station is a lot of signs for itonly situated on the southbound side. From Karlsruhe also has this is about a 45 minute journey with public transport or a quite active Couchsurfing community1.5 journey if you have to walk from the station in Baden-Baden. See [[Baden-Baden]] for details.
== Internet Access ==
In the town center, between ''Europaplatz'' and ''Marktplatz'' there are a some info terminals called ''blue spots'' where you can see town maps, send emails and surf the internet for free.
''Cholopacker: despicted the fact that takes time to get to Option 3, I think is the best option if going South to Freiburg, Switzerland or Lyon (but not throught Switzerland), once here I found a ride quite fast to the last gas station before Freiburg and then to France.'' ===Direction South, West, East {{Autobahn|5}} {{Autobahn|8}} {{Autobahn|65}} {{E|35}} {{E|52}} = Public transport ==Public transport The Bus Station ''Beiertheim West'' makes a good hitchhiking spot in direction south ([[A5 (Germany)|A5]], [[Basel]]) but there are also many cars going in direction [[Stuttgart]] or [[Landau]].It is quite goodserved by the bus no. The 062 from ''Hauptbahnhof'' or ''Entenfang'', but you can also take tram lines no. 2 to ''Welfenstraße'' or just walk 10 minutes from the main train station along ''Ebertstraße''. Update August 2016: I tried to go into all to Strasbourg but had the neighbouring townsimpression that nobody goes there by this way. Within That's why I went by tram S5 from Europaplatz to Wörth Bahnhof and took the citytrain to Lauterbourg, so passing the border by train. The secondary road in Lauterbourg leads to the A35 and it was quite easy from there to get a lift. Even if not every car goes directly to Strabourg they go all night will take you some kms and you are going to be in Strasbourg quite quick (or at weekendsleast in my case it worked well).Update November 2019: still works well by train to Lauterbourg and then hitchhiking south to Strasbourg via Highway A35. Fares There was'nt even a ticket checker in the train to Lauterbourg (when you enter, check if there's someone else with an uniform besides the traindriver or in the backcabin. anyway the train goes only 20min from Wörth to L.bourg) [[File:Karlsruhe-Schloss-meph666-2005-Apr-22.jpg|thumb|right|365px|Castle of Karlsruhe]] == Hitching in ==If your driver is not going to Karlsruhe, but only passing it on the A5/A8, there is no really good place to get dropped. All the motorway exits are about 2 EUR per tripbig junctions where it's not possible to enter the motorway again directly. Tickets The most practical place are checked quite oftenprobably the exits ''Zentrum'' and ''Durlach''. You driver will loose about 5 minutes, even at nightbut you will get dropped right next to a tram station that is served 24/7 (10 minutes journey to the city center)== Resources =={{nomadwiki}} [[wikipedia:Karlsruhe]]
