=== North 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 ([[Karlsruhe]]) {{Autobahn|5}} ===<map lat='https://www.google.pt/maps/place/Caf%C3%A9+Extrablatt/@47.9909987154148' lng='9905831,7.84449577331543' zoom8463085,18.5z/data='15' view!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sstudentenwerk+freiburg+im+breisgau!3m4!1s0x0:0x2a881fac5ee477de!8m2!3d47.9904203!4d7.8471109?hl=es see map]) on the left of the street. Just hold up a sign saying "A5" or your destination and it shouldn'3' float='right' />t take too long (last time tried out in March 2017).
one option: heading north towards === North {{Autobahn|5}} [[Karlsruhe]], [[Offenburg]], [[Frankfurt]], {{Autobahn|8}}, {{Autobahn|6}} === Stand on the Dreisamstraße and stick out the thumb. As mentioned also in the penultimate paragraph, this street is full with cars, which often can't 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.

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]]).
=== Direction South [[ (Germany) {{Autobahn|5}},], [[Lörrach]], [[Mulhouse]], [[Switzerland]], [[Italy]], [[France]], {{Autobahn|36}} [[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)
Stand on the Dreisamstraße and stick out the thumb.
To get to the "Breisgau" petrol station where you can ask for rides on the A5:
take tram number 3 direction Haid until the end of the line. From there take bus number 35 and get off at the station called "Im Maierbruhl." When you get off the bus go back down the street in the direction the bus came from and turn right onto Freiburger landstrasse. Walk until you get to the traffic light (there's a bakery on the way where you can get coffee and food for the road) then turn left onto Mengener Strasse. Follow the road (about 1km) until you get to a bridge, 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 walked, so it's possible to hitch rides here if you're feeling cold or lazy.
I recommend hitching from the Aral petrol station on Leo-Wohleb-Straße 2. Freiburg is relatively small, so if you are in the city anyway you can very easily walk to this 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. 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 Aral petrol station vary but it is recommended to start early so you catch workers commuting to other cities. You'll get drivers going north and south, you just need to ask around.
I also recommend the areal petrol station.
To get there by public transport you may take tram number 1 direction Littenweiler and get off at 'Brauerei Ganter'. You can see the blue Aral station on the other side of the street.
You should get a ride within minutes.

Just take the map of Freiburg ( there will you see the "camping place" ). You can sleep there for free ( like me ) and after the night you can take the shower. The best place i have ever been in Germany! :)
