Fribourg is a town in Switzerland. It's also called Freiburg im Üchtland in German.

The town is not that big, so you can easily walk around. Yet the walking distance between the two on-ramps is about 5km.

Hitchhiking out

South towards the mountains

Take the Blvd des Perolles and walk to the very end, where the two streets come together. After the roundabout is a good spot.

North, South towards Lausanne, Bern

on-ramp Fribourg-Nord

About 3km north of the center. Place for cars to stop in both directions.

on-ramp Fribourg-Sud

About 2km west of the center. More traffic than the other spot but no place to stop for cars (without blocking traffic). Small petrol station nearby, mostly local cars.

Tobias (talk) (1/2024)ended up here after the '23 NYE gathering. We tried the southern on-ramp but there is no place for cars to stop so we gave up after less than 1h. At the northern on-ramp there was way less traffic towards Bern but there is some small space for cars to stop and we got a ride after about 20min.
