'''Trier''' is a historical city in [[Germany]], very close to [[Luxembourg|Luxemburg]]. It has approximately 100,000 inhabitants. Most of the old town belongs to the UNESCO world heritage, thats also why many tourists come to Trier.

=== East, North, South towards everywhere {{Autobahn|1}} ===
A good place is probably the ''Verteilerkreis'' in the 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.
If you want to go from the ''Verteilerkreis'' via the [[A1 (Germany)|A1]], [[A48 (Germany)|A48]] towards [[Koblenz]] you may get a lift to [[Wittlich]], which is before the first [[rest area|service station]] on the motorway. You can take it, because the ramp in Wittlich is a good place to hitch on.
From ''Verteilerkreis'' you have good chances to hitch to [[Hahn Airport]].
Take the bus to ''Fachhochschule'' and exit at the terminus. There is enough space to place yourself, uphill is the motorway to Luxembourg and the road straight (B 51) is heading to Bitburg.

You will find a cargo railway station north of Trier in Pfalzel. Maybe you will be lucky here (not tested).
