'''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 its it's quite central and easy to exit and to leave. Another advantage is that it's easy to find free [[accommodation]] via [[hospitality exchange network]]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.
In September 2007, the German hitchhiking club [[abgefahren e.V.]] hold his held its first gathering near Freiburg and also published the first (un)official German hitchhiking-spot in Freiburg.

Another solution, though not the best one, 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 not really much space 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.
== public transport ==
People who have the transferable monthly ticket ''RegioKarte Übertragbar'' can take along another adult on Sundays and holidays.
