<div>Hello<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm from Finland and currently I use more time thinking about hitchhiking than actually doing it</div>Metahikerhttps://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=File_talk:Hugo.JPG&diff=22304File talk:Hugo.JPG2008-07-10T16:08:57Z<p>Metahiker: </p>

<div>* Does anyone else feel the sign is a bit too small for a front page picture?</div>Metahikerhttps://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Jyv%C3%A4skyl%C3%A4&diff=22302Jyväskylä2008-07-10T15:44:46Z<p>Metahiker: </p>

<div>[[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'/><br />
'''Jyväskylä''' is a city located in Central [[Finland]], 147 km from [[Tampere]] and 270 km from [[Helsinki]]. There are so many students in Jyväskylä (a third of the total population), people call Jyväskylä "[[Athens]] of Finland". The city is easy to hitch in or out.<br />
<br />
== Hitching Out ==<br />
===South-west towards [[Tampere]], [[Turku]] (9/E63) or west towards [[Keuruu]] (23)===<br />
There's a pretty good hh-spot just next to the university's campus called Mattilanniemi. '''Coming from the center:''' follow the street called '''Kauppakatu''' (the name changes into '''Seminaarinkatu''' and then to '''Alvar Aallon katu'''). Turn left to '''Kramsunkatu'''. There's a bridge for pedestrians over '''Rantaväylä''' to the university campus. Don't cross the bridge but go down the small hill to the "shoulder", the side of the road, of Rantaväylä. Walk a bit closer to the traffic lights.<br />
<br />
===East toward [[Varkaus]], [[Kuopio]], South towards [[Heinola]], [[Lahti]], [[Helsinki]]===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
