'''Freiburg im Breisgau''' is a student-city in the South of [[Germany]]. It is very close to the French border, and not far away from [[Switzerland]] as well. (It's the biggest Freiburg in Germany, there is also [[Freiburg/Elbe]] and [[Freiburg im Üechtland]] in Switzerland.)
Freiburg might be a good stopover for a longer trip in [[Europe]] because it's quite central and easy to exit and to leave. Another advantage is that it's easy to find free [[finding accommodation|accommodation]] via [[finding accommodation|hospitality exchange networknetworks]]s in Freiburg.
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.

It's not recommended to get off at "Schauninsland" petrol station if you are coming from the north. But if you get stuck there you can walk to the next village (Hochdorf) and take the bus 25 or 36 to Freiburg. It will take about 40 minutes to the center. It's better to find someone in [[Mahlberg]], [[Baden-Baden|Baden Baden]] or [[Bruchsal]] who is going straight into town. The motorway doesn't go directly through the city so drivers are unlikely 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.
