'''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.
In September 2007== Hitchhiking out ===== Direction East [[Donaueschingen]], [[Engen]], [[Konstanz]], [[Singen]], [[Ravensburg]], the German hitchhiking club [[abgefahren e.V.Lindau]] held its first gathering near Freiburg and also published the first (un)official German hitchhiking-spot in Freiburg.===
== Hitchhiking Get to the south east of the city where the ''Leo-Wohleben-Straße'' and ''Schwarzwaldstraße'' meet (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 times are not very long.=== Direction East [[Donaueschingen]], [[Engen]], [[Konstanz]], [[Singen]], [[Ravensburg]] ===You should walk until the point where the road leads into a tunnel. There are some nice spots about 50 metres before the entrance where you can get rides easily.

'''Alternative for holders of '''Regio Karten''' (Monthly Tickets for the Public Transportation in the [http://www.rfv.de RVF]) or ''Semester Tickets'':'''
You can take a train to [[Löffingen]] (switch trains in Neustadt, trains depart every hour), for free if you have a ''Semsterticket/Regio Karte'' and from there you can walk through the town to the B31. In [[Löffingen]] is a petrol station where it s quite easy to get rides to the '''A81''' ([[Singen]]–[[Stuttgart]]).
=== North Direction South (Germany) {{Autobahn|5}} [[KarlsruheLörrach]]) and South (, [[Mulhouse]], [[BaselSwitzerland]], [[Italy]], [[France]]) , {{Autobahn|536}} [[Spain]] ===<A perfect option to hitch out direction south. Get to the service station ''Schauinsland'' is to take Bus No.36 towards Hochdorf, exit Bus station Högestraße. Be careful, not every bus No.36 takes you to Högestraße, some take another route. Ask the driver, to be sure about the destination. From there it's just a few minutes walk to the service station along the dirt road diectly next to the motorway. The bus ticket costs 2.30€. Make sure your driver stays on your preferred highway since it splits before the next. (see map lat) Stand on the Dreisamstraße and stick out the thumb.  A good spot to hitchhike from the city center is near the Studierendenwerk. There are a lot of cars on the street (Dreisamstraße) that goes to the Highway A5. A good space for them to stop is the entrance to the Café Extrablatt ([https://www.google.pt/maps/place/Caf%C3%A9+Extrablatt/@47.9905831,7.8463085,18.5z/data='47!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sstudentenwerk+freiburg+im+breisgau!3m4!1s0x0:0x2a881fac5ee477de!8m2!3d47.9904203!4d7.9909987154148' lng8471109?hl=es see map]) on the left of the street. Just hold up a sign saying "A5" or your destination and it shouldn'7t take too long (last time tried out in March 2017).84449577331543' zoom === North {{Autobahn|5}} [[Karlsruhe]], [[Offenburg]], [[Frankfurt]], {{Autobahn|8}}, {{Autobahn|6}} ='15' view='3' floatStand on the Dreisamstraße and stick out the thumb. As mentioned also in the penultimate paragraph, this street is full with cars, which often can'rightt hold or don' />t go this far. A calmer place to hitch northwards would be the HEM-petrol-station in the Zähringer Straße. This station is easy to reach by foot (100m) once being at the tram-station "Hornusstraße", in the north of Freiburg. There you can either stick out the thumb or ask. Approx. waiting time for the A5: 10 min.
Take a tram till To get to the "HolzmarktBreisgau"petrol station where you can ask for rides on the A5:take tram number 3 direction Haid until the end of the line. Line 2,3 or 5 are heading From theretake bus number 35 and get off at the station called "Im Maierbruhl. Walk from " When you get off the bus go back down the stop outside of street in the city towards direction of the river ''Dreisam''bus came from and turn right onto Freiburger landstrasse. There Walk until you are turning right and at get to the traffic light (there's a bakery on the way where you can ask get coffee and food for the cars for your destinationroad) then turn left onto Mengener Strasse. You can as well wait after Follow the crossroad with road (about 1km) until you get to a signbridge, then go left up a path--you will see the petrol station there. (Two cars stopped to offer me a ride on this road as I donwalked, so it't recommend that, but s possible to hitch rides here if you don t speak German make sign "A5 -> KA ([[Karlsruhe]]) 're feeling cold or BS ([[Basel]]"lazy.)
For heading north the next petrol station is "Mahlberg" right before [[Offenburg]]. For heading south there is no petrol station before the motorway leads to [[France]] ([[Mulhouse]], [[Besançon]], [[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 400 meters 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.
Another option to get to I recommend hitching from the service Aral petrol station ''Schauinsland'' on Leo-Wohleb-Straße 2. Freiburg is relatively small, so if you are in the city anyway you can very easily walk to take Bus Nothis spot. This road goes along the Dreisam river and leads onto the A5 autobahn. In fact you will pass the hitching spot recommended in the first paragraph. 36 towards HochdorfI don't recommend that spot because its a 4-lane traffic and difficult for cars to pull over, exit Bus although many people hitch from there. Waiting times at that Aral petrol station Högestraßevary but it is recommended to start early so you catch workers commuting to other cities. From there itYou's ll get drivers going north and south, you just a few minutes walk need to the service stationask around. (see map)
I've personally never tried any of those options above, but I also recommend hitching from the Aral areal petrol station on Leo-Wohleb-Straße 2. Freiburg is relatively small, so if To get there by public transport you are in the city anyway you can very easily walk to this spot. This road goes along the Dreisam river may take tram number 1 direction Littenweiler and leads onto the A5 autobahnget off at 'Brauerei Ganter'. In fact you will pass the hitching spot recommended in You can see the first paragraph. I don't recommend that spot because its a 4-lane traffic and difficult for cars to pull over, although many people hitch from there. Waiting times at that blue Aral petrol station vary but it is recommended to start early so you catch workers commuting to on the other citiesside of the street. You'll should get drivers going north and south, you just need to ask arounda ride within minutes.
== Hitching In ==
It's not recommended One option is to get off at "Schauninsland" petrol station if you are coming from the north. But if you get stuck there where 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 centercentre. 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.
== Public transport ==
People who have the transferable monthly ticket ''RegioKarte Übertragbar'' can take along another adult on Sundays and holidays. Students of Freiburg University don't pay after 19h30 on buses trams and trains within a certain region, and on Friday and Saturday, there are trams running all night. It does not include night buses. Not so many controllers, but they appear out of the blue undercover. == abgefahren e.V. ==The german autostop club [[abgefahren e.V.]] is very active in Freiburg. In September 2007, [[abgefahren e.V.]] held its first gathering near Freiburg and also published the first (un)official German hitchhiking-spot in Freiburg. In 2011 abgefahren started their 4th race in Freiburg the [[abgefahren hitchhiking race 2011]].
