== Hitchhiking Hitching out ==

To hitch out in this direction, there's a spot at the Sankt Fiden exit. There is a bridge over the motorway from which an on-ramp comes down to join the motorway. You can just stand on the upper end of that on-ramp-- it doesn't look like a very good spot, but [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] has never waited longer than 10 minutes here. Take bus 1, 4, or 7 in the direction Stephanshorn, Guggeinen, resp. Neudorf. Get out at the St. Fiden stop and walk to the bridge.

It's well-known among locals for the 'Drei Weiheren', three artificial ponds for free swimming. The hill and the ponds are within walking distance from the motorway (ask locals for directions if necessary) and this particular place might actually be worth getting dropped off in St. Gallen if you happen to pass through in the afternoon, not knowing where to spend the night. Not as much for the ponds -- there are better lakes in Switzerland -- but for the view over the town and Lake Constance (German: ''Bodensee'') in direction northeastwardnorth-eastward, from atop the ''Freudenberg'' as well as on Mount ''Saentis'' (southward, the large mountain with the antenna) and the possibility to sleep right up there in the meadows, undisturbed and peacefully (stargazing and morning swim in the ponds included). You can also have a campfire and there are public BBQs. For free food, check out the McD's at the ''Marktplatz Bohl'', the central square. Excellent table diving, find the code for the toilets on the receipts. For computers to use the internet for free, check out the ''Stiftsbibliothek'', the Abbey Library. Don't enter the exhibition, but ask for the computer.
