'''Trier''' is a historical city in [[Germany]], very close to [[LuxemburgLuxembourg]]. It has aproximatly approximately 100,000 inhabitants. Most of the old town belongs to the UNESCO world heritage, thats also why many tourists come to Trier.== Hitching Hitchhiking out ==[[File:Verteilerkreis-trier.jpg|thumb|left|Hitchhiking spot Verteilerkreis in Trier, Germany on a snowy winterday.]]

A good place is probably the ''Verteilerkreis'' in the north-east of the city, which is a roundabout that connects the local roads with the motorway. From the main station it's about 30 minutes walking, but you can also take bus 1, 30, 85 or 86. The bus stop is called Nells Park. It is a good idea to use a [[signs|sign]] at this spot. You can hitch either at the bus stop or walk a little bit further to the on ramp where cars will also have space to stop. Don't stand on the road to Ruwer which leads trough an industrial area parallel to the motorway, there are sometimes prostitutes and you may be misunderstood.

If you want to go from the ''Verteilerkreis'' via the [[A1 (Germany)|A1]], [[A48 (Germany)|A48]] towards [[Koblenz]] you may get offered a lift to [[Wittlich]](happens very often), which is before the first [[rest area|service station]] on the motorway. You can take it, because the ramp in Wittlich -Mitte is a good place to hitch on.

=== West, North ([[Bitburg]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Belgium]], [[France]]) {{Autobahn|60}}{{Autobahn|64}}===[[File:TrierFH.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Spot to north or west]] Take the bus to ''Fachhochschule'' and exit at the end stationterminus. There is enough space to place yourself, uphill is the motorway to Luxembourg and the road straight (B 51) is heading to Bitburg(and from there further to Belgium).

=== [[Hitchhiking a boat|Boat]] hitchhiking and [[Train hopping]] ===You will find a cargo railstation railway station north of Trier in Pfalzel. Maybe you will be lucky here (not tested).  You will notice many Barges on the Mosel River. You may have a chance asking at the watergate. It is on the left Mosel side between the camping site and the industrial area in ''Zewen''. Remember: hitchhiking a barge is very slow. Maybe you can also ask at the small yacht club. It is south of the Watergate.

Trier has a good bus network, which will be the first option for getting around. Due to the busses are buses being relatively expensive (€2EUR 2.40 45 for a single ticket) walking may be a good option, because Trier isn't this big (you can walk from the very north to the very south in 1 hour).

There is a regular Bus bus connection to Luxembourg served by [http://www.voyages-weber.lu/bus/rgtr/ Voyages Emile Weber] (line 118) which is a cheap option and costs only 7€ for a . With the day ticket which you can also use for the local busses buses in Luxembourg City.

''Trier Verteilerkreis'' is a stop of the regular bus line between [[Metz]] <-> [[Thionville]] <-> Luxembourg <-> Trier <-> Hahn Airport. The Bus have bus has to be booked in advance at [http://www.flibco.com flibco.com] and is quite expensive, unless you book well in advance. Don't take this, because it is no problem to hitch from Verteilerkreis to Hahn, or from the Fachhochschule spot to Luxembourg/Metz.

Using the Train train served by [[Deutsche Bahn]] is expensive. From Trier you will find a Line line to Luxembourg, Koblenz and to [[Saarbrücken]] / [[Kaiserslautern]]. You will definetly definitely (at least at daytime) be faster hitchhiking than using regional trains. If going through Luxembourg you might be interested in taking trains once you have crossed the border as there is a 2hour ticket that gets you about anywhere for 2€.

===Wild camping===Your best bet is to walk from the city center to the moselle river and cross it via one of the bridges. Then walk south and find a hidden place somewhere in the meadows. If you want to hitchhike on to Bitburg, Belgium, Luxembourg the next day you can already approach the hitchhiking spot mentioned above. From there you walk to "Weisshaus Wald" it is the next street to the right and find a place somewhere in the forrest (also good forest. Another option is to find a hidden spot at the Mosel river, but a lot of people walking with dogs here. Another option is to climb up the Petrisberg and sleep in the small forest there. Very central is a dark place in the Palastgarten in the central city for mushrooming)example the playground there. For all places: Pitch up in the dark and leave before dawn. === Hospitality exchange networks ===There are many students living in Trier. So Trier has a great hospitality exchange network community. You will definitely find accommodation via one of the well know hospitality exchange networks, but it can be difficult during the semester vacations.
