Freiburg is a nice student town with around 220.000 inhabitants - 40.000 of them are students. So you definitely gonna find someone to drink a beer with.
==Hitching Out=====West towards ''?''===
Get to the south east of the city where the ''Leo-Wohleb-Straße'' and ''Schwarzwaldstraße'' meet each other (B31). Somewhere there is a strip of grass right in front of a side road. As this is a busy road leading out of the town waiting time is not very long.
===North, South towards [[A5 (Germany)|A5]], [[France]], [[Basel]] ([[Switzerland]]), [[Karlsruhe]]===

Take a tram till "Holzmarkt". Line 2,3 or 5 are heading there. Walk from the stop outside of the city towards direction of the river ''Dreisam''. There you are turning right and at the traffic light you can ask the cars for your destination.
*For heading north the next gas station is "Mahlberg" right before [[Offenburg]]. For heading south there is no gas station before the highway leads to [[France]] ([[Muhlhouse]], [[Besancon]], [[Lyon]]) but there is one before [[Basel]] ([[Switzerland]]).*If you want to go to France it might be better to get to the ramp ''Freiburg Nord''. You can get there with tram line 2 towards ''Zähringen'', get out at the last station. From there it's a 400m walking to the spot. Try to get a ride from there to the [[A5 (Germany)|A5]] direction south. This way you pass by the service station "Schauinsland" which is the last one before [[France]].
You can as well wait after the crossroad with a sign. (I don't recommend that, but if you don t speak German make sign "A5 -> KA ([[Karlsruhe]]) or BS ([[Basel]].)
==Hitching In==
It's not recomended, if you are coming from north to get off at "Schauninsland" gas station. Try to find someone in [[Mahlberg]], [[Baden Baden]] or [[Bruchsal]] who is going straight there. The highway doesn't go directly through the city so driver are unlickely to go 15 km extra just to drop you off in the city if they want to continue their trip. If you are coming from the south you can get off at the "Breisgau" service station. There shouldn't be a problem with finding someone who is going into town.
Another, though not the best solution, is to get off at exit 61 "Freiburg Nord" on the A5. The driver can make U-Turn and get back on the motorway (well, if it's not a truck). There's no really much room to stop, so you'll have to ask people stopping on the red light, most of them will be going to the city. Better don't go there if you're not alone, as you'll have to hop in very quickly.
