== Directions ==
From [[Hamburg]] to [[Copenhagen]] you can hitch to a ferry at [[Puttgarden]] and get a ride straight to Copenhagen. If you ask people after they paid the ticket you can cross for free (and save 7 euros). Tickets are per vehicle, not per person.
You can watch a [http://youtube.com/watch?v=fiR_zNYFoTc video] of a lovely Danish landscape. It was made by [[User:Amylin|amylin]] in February 2008 when going on a ferry to Denmark.

First, get a ride to [[Gedser]] which has ferry lines to [[Rostock]] ([[Germany]]), or go to [[RødbyhavnRødby]] havn which has a ferry connection with [[Puttgarden]] (also in Germany, close to Kiel and Lübeck). Most cars heading to the ferry go to Rødby, from where a ferry sails every half an hour. Gedser might be a lot harder to reach than Rødby, also because it's like at the end of the world, and very few locals drive to and from there. So try to locate a good gas station on the way and look for the right German plates. There is also a big truck stop with a toll office on Falster, close to Nørre Aslev (see map). You can ask truck drivers there - German truck drivers will say, as usual, that it's forbidden to take people on board, so concentrate on [[hitchhiking a truck|trucks]] coming from other places.
A ferry ticket for a car includes up to 9 car passengers (incl. the driver) so it should be quite possible to get a free ride over the sea (and maybe even further).
