Freiburg am 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 an der Elbe and Freiburg im Üechtland in Switzerland.

Heading west

Get to the south east of the city where Leo-Wohleb-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 time is not very long.

Heading north / south A5

Take a tram till "Holzmarkt", I think Line 2,3,5 heading there and go from the stop outside of the city in direction of the river Dreisam. There yo are turning right and on the redlight you can ask the cars for your destination. For heading north the next gas station is "Mahlberg" right before Offenburg and heading south is no gas station before the highway leads to France (Mulhouse, Besancon, Lyon) but there is one before Basel (Switzerland).

You can as well wait after the crosroad with a sign. (I don t recommend that, but if you don t speak German make sign "A 5 -> KA (Karlsruhe) or BS (Basel)
