The '''Ruhr Area''', also called simply Ruhr, (German: ''Ruhrgebiet'') is an urban area in [[Nordrhein-Westfalen|North Rhine-Westphalia]], [[Germany]], consisting of a number of large formerly industrial cities, including [[Duisburg]], [[Oberhausen]], [[Bottrop]], [[Mülheim an der Ruhr]], [[Essen]], [[Gelsenkirchen]], [[Bochum]], [[Herne]], [[Hamm]], [[Hagen]], [[Dortmund]], [[Wesel]], [[Recklinghausen]], [[Unna]] and [[Ennepe-Ruhr]].
Altough, there is a very high density of motorways, hitchhiking there is quite tricky. Major motorways in this area are the [[A1 (Germany)|A1]], [[A2 (Germany)|A2]] and [[A3 (Germany)|A3]].
On the one hand, there is a lot of local traffic and even though there will be a lot of cars and usually many traffic jams, the most cars won't go in your direction.
