Lindau

East towards Munich

The A96 starts in Lindau and ends in Munich. There are a couple of junctions for the A96 in Lindau and both are possible to hitch near but the one closest to the lake, on the B12, and closest to the Austrian border is the best as there is a gas station there where you can ask people for a ride (there is also a McDonalds across the road). This gas station is next to a roundabout meaning that all traffic has to come through very slowly so it is possible to stand there with a sign in the direction you want to travel - be prepared to get quickly into a car though as there isn't anywhere for them to stop that is off the road, they will simply stop as they reach the roundabout and you can jump in.
