== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Northeast towards [[Lübeck]], [[Puttgarden]] (& East towards [[Berlin]]) ===
==== Option 1 ====
You need to get to '''Raststätte Stillhorn'''on the A1. It is easy to get there. Just take S3 or S31 to Wilhelmsburg and then a bus (line #13) to Kirchdorf-Süd. You get off at the last stop (ten minute trip max.). Just follow the road from where you got off the bus in the driving direction straight ahead. You'll walk along a path and get out directly at Stillhorn. Cross the furthest little bridge on the '''right''' and walk right for ~500 meter. There, cross the motorway by walking under the tunnel, and behind it you already see the service station to your left. Just behind the on-ramp there's a little path towards the service station.
[[User:footsore|footsore]] got a lift all the way to [[Michendorf_Süd|Michendorf Süd rest stop]] at [[Potsdam]], just outside [[Berlin]], within half an hour at 9am on a Sunday morning. It is very easy to hitch into central Berlin from Michendorf Süd.
Follow the directions as above to '''Raststätte Stillhorn'''; however, cross the furthest little bridge on the '''left''' and you're already on the parking lot of the service station.
If you are going towards the [[Netherlands]], get a ride south to ''Dammer Berge'' on the A1 (just before [[Osnabrück]]), where the [[A1 (Germany)|A1]] joins the [[A30 (Germany)|A30]] in the direction of [[Rheine]] and [[Amsterdam]].
=== North towards [[Flensburg]], [[Kiel]], [[Denmark]] ===

For going north on A7 motorway to mainland [[Denmark]], take the metro ''U2'' towards ''Niendorf-Markt''. From there get out and ask people for the bus station (''Busbahnhof''). There take bus #191 until stop ''Sellhopsweg''. Get out there, walk some 200m back to the traffic light. You'll see that the road going left follows the way to the motorway. There's no footpath, so you have to walk along the green space next to the road. Might be tricky in winter, easy in summer. Just take care when [[hitchhiking a truck|trucks]] and cars coming from behind! After some 300m you're at the ramp. There's enough space for you to stand on, and it's easy for cars to recognize you and to stop. Have a look at the picture for this spot. Oh, someone mentioned that this spot might be illegal to stand on, but can you find an ''Autobahn'' sign in the picture ? ;-)
