'''Stuttgart''' is the capital of the [[Germany|German]] federal state [[Baden-Württemberg]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
When you are on motorway (Autobahn) A 81 you can jump off on the resting place called "Wunnenstein" that has also a petrol station and is between Stuttgart and Heilbronn or rather the departure to motorway (Autobahn) A 6. From there you can get rides to the north or west. But there I sometimes had to wait longer (about 45 minutes in average) to get a ride to the north because a lot of cars are going to the west. Be careful at "Wunnenstein" – there are constant police raids because of drugs – hitching is no problem.
=== East towards [[Munich|München]], [[Ulm]] {{Autobahn|8}} ===
==== Löffelstraße ====

'''''Löffelstraße/Stuttgart-Degerloch (B27 that leads to A8 [[Munich|München]]-[[Karlsruhe]])''''' – From Hauptbahnhof (Main Station), you can take the metro U5 (Leinfelden), U6 (Fasanenhof), or U12 (Möhringen/Vaihingen) and exit at the stop ''Degerloch''. Leave the station towards ''ZOB'' (in the direction of the train), cross the high street at the traffic light, and walk on straight until you reach the start of a turn lane (see the picture).
: The best is to position yourself on the grass strip not far from the beginning, cars tend to speed up already from here because the street turns into a motorcar road in about 200m.
: You can wait there with a sign on the striped road markings, it's illegal for cars to stop there but it's likely that they do because they cannot drive very fast through the bend.
This one is a good spot to go south and west, but it might also work to get a ride east towards [[Munich|München]]. The A831 motorway leads directly to the A8/A81 interchange "Kreuz Stuttgart" that connects all directions.
