I took this bus number 3 to the terminus. But then you have to walk a little back. It is better to get out of the bus 2 stops before the terminus. (Robbel 24/04/2012)== Trashwiki & Nomadwiki ==

'''Salzburg''' is a medium-sized town in the center of [[Austria]], very close to the [[Germany|German]] border. It has direct motorway connections to [[Vienna]], [[Munich]] and [[Slovenia]] ([[Villach]]). Most of the traffic between southern [[Germany]] and [[Austria]], especially Germans going for holidays, to the [[Croatia]]n coast passes Salzburg.
== Hitchhiking out ==
These tips describe hitchhiking from the city centre. For hitchhiking from the airport, see [[Salzburg airport]]. === West towards [[Munich]], East towards [[Linz]], [[Vienna]], South towards [[Graz]] ===__TOC__
==== Option 1 ====
When you want to go over the [[A1 (Austria)|A1]], no matter which direction, you should go to the ramp ''Salzburg Mitte'' at the ''Münchener Bundesstrasse'' (B155). There is a lot of traffic and enough place to be seen and for cars to stop. From the town center it's 20–30 minutes walking, but you can also take the bus #4 to ''Schmiedingerstraße''.
Going in the direction of Munich, there's plenty of space directly on the ramp to the highway, just before the beginning of the tunnel.

==== Option 2 ====
Another good spot is a bus-stop [https://goo.gl/maps/BPyn8FdbMCU2 MAP] near the end of Bahnhofstrasse, where the Landstrasse crosses the Salzburger-Bundesstrasse, just before the small railroad tunnel. Walk north from the main railroad-station in the city center (10-15 minutes), then follow the Bahnhofstrasse until you arrive at the Landstrasse. This spot is especially good for direction East.
==== Option 3 ====
=== South towards [[Ljubljana]] ([[E55]]) ===
Take bus #3 to the terminus then walk south along ''Alpenstraße '' to the junction with the A10. To avoid walking back, you can also get off two stops before the terminus. The ramp onto the A10 worked really well, a car going to Villach stopped within a few minutes. I would reccomend to take the bus 170 from the centre however as it gets you much closer to the ramp, from where the 3 leaves you on Alpenstrasse it's a long walk. There is also a field here that is suitable for stealth camping. Walk about 100m further from the bus stop on the ''Alpenstraße'', until you come to the ''Fürstenweg'' on the right side. Enter this street and immediately to your right is a really big field where it's possible to set up a tent.
