'''Austria''' is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as of the [[Schengen Agreement]]. It is a good country for hitchhiking, with fabulous views of the surrounding Alpes and small lakes. On the Motorways, While hitchhiking by motorway you can easily “hop” from city to city- ramps are usually easy to get to and easy to hitch from. Good places are service stations, too.
People in Austria speak German(in some parts locally also Slovene, Croatian and Hungarian) but knowledge if you are not a German speaker you won't be in big trouble since almost every Austrian speaks at least basic English might also be enough to communicate.
