The ferries that are useable by hitchhikers are Scandline's 2 ferries, the other ones charge per passenger whereas these charge per car making the ride on the ferry free for the hitchhiker. One of them, recommended by this article when hitching from [[Berlin]] leaves from a ferry terminal 10 kilometers north of [[Rostock]] to [[Gedser]] in [[Denmark]] and the other one, from [[Puttgarden]] to [[Rodby]], also in [[Denmark]], sees more traffic and runs more often. For going to [[Copenhagen]] or other places in ''Denmark'' from ''Berlin'' the ''Rostock'' ferry works rather well. It does however have the problem of only leaving every 2 hours or less. Also for any [[Sweden]] (or [[Norway]]) bound hitchhikers it has the issue that rather few people on this ferry are going to ''Sweden'' so mostly you will find yourself dropped off at a gasstation before ''Copenhagen'' from where you will have to find yourself a lift to ''Sweden''.
In hitchhiker [[''Theo]]'s '' personal [[''Berlin]] '' --> [[''Sweden]] '' commuting experience it is generally faster to go from Berlin to Sweden by using the Puttgarden ferry than the Rostock ferry. The time invested in getting to the main highway going north from [[Hamburg]] and [[Lubeck]] to ''Puttgarden'' is well-rewarded seeing as getting a ride by standing with a [[Sweden]] sign in ''Puttgarden'' before the ticket both or from one of the gasstations before saves you hustle time by not having to hitchhike at all in [[Denmark]] by using only transit traffic. The next good place to hitchhike if you are going in direction [[Stockholm]] or [[Gothenburg]] is after or before we people get on/off the ferry in [[Helsingor]]/[[Helsingborg]] and getting a ride from ''Puttgarden'' to there is pretty straightforward.
