If you want to go to Ravensburg it is best to take the ferry to Meersburg (last stop of Bus No 1). It usually goes 4 times an hour, [[hitchhiking at night|at night]] just once every hour. Ask the people who drive there either while waiting for the ferry or in the little café on the ship. If it is cold or raining you can wait in a heated waiting room until the ferry arrives.

Konstanz is a city at the Lake Constance in south Germany at the Swiss border.

Hitchhiking out

South towards Switzerland, A7

To get to any city in Switzerland go to the main border and hold up your sign at the parking lot on the Swiss side. Just a couple of meters behind it the motorway A7 starts.

Many cars go to the next petrol station from there, for petrol is much cheaper in Switzerland than in Germany.

East towards Meersburg, Ravensburg

If you want to go to Ravensburg it is best to take the ferry to Meersburg (last stop of Bus No 1). It usually goes 4 times an hour, at night just once every hour. Ask the people who drive there either while waiting for the ferry or in the little café on the ship. If it is cold or raining you can wait in a heated waiting room until the ferry arrives. This is definitely the best way to get out heading east. If you are heading to Munich, you should also try here. The roads on the south side of the Bodensee are tiny, take ages and the traffic sporadic. Try and get a ride before getting off the other side, then you don't have to pay at all!

West towards A81, Singen, Stuttgart

Going west on the 33 towards the A81 Stuttgart−Singen, there is no really good place to stop. The first service area is Rasthof Hegau.
