[[Image:Jyväskylä-Finland_panorama1.JPG|left|thumb|View to the [[Jyväskylä]] Centrum from sight-tower of [[Harju]].]]<map lat='62.23399603631972' lng='25.73864501953125' zoom='12' view='0' float='right' height='350' width='400'/>'''Jyväskylä''' is a city located in Central [[Finland]], 147 km from [[Tampere]] and 270 km from [[Helsinki]]. There are so many student's in Jyväskylä (1/3 of total population 85,563), so they say it's a "[[Athens]] of Finland". City is easy to hitch out or -in.
== Hitching Out ==
This is a bit tricky but not impossible. '''Coming from the center:''' Cross the bridge that goes through the trainstation. There's a fair center (Messuhalli) on the other side of the train tracks and the road. Walk to the left after the bridge towards the road. Go over a small knee-height fence to the shoulder of the road. Walk on the side of the road a bit more to find a good hh-spot, where the cars have enough space to stop. '''If this doesn't work out''', walk down the road some more until you reach a pedestrian path on your right hand side. Follow it until it goes up in a bridge to cross the highway. Hitchhike before the bridge, because that's where the cars start speeding up.
