==== Option 1: Motorway service station Rasthof Grunewald ====Heading South or West, the best - and most frequented - spot is probably ''Rasthof Grunewald''. Take the ''S-Bahn'' train ''S7'' towards ''direction Potsdam'' , or ''S1'' towards ''direction Wannsee'' , and get out at ''Nikolassee''. Walk out of the train station, cross the bridge and you'll see the [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] to the right of you. You can talk to drivers at the petrol station or on the parking lot.<br/ >There are often other hitchhikers here early, and it is polite to wait until they have left. Get here early to avoid the competition.<br/ >This spot is both faster & cheaper to get to than option 2: Michendorf. You will need 25 minutes from Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Main Station) on an AB-ticket (2,70€), compared to ~1hour (including the walk) on an ABC-ticket (3,30€) to Michendorf.

There are often other hitchhikers here early, and it is polite to wait until they have left. Get here early to avoid the competition. This spot is both faster & cheaper to get to than Michendorf. You will need 25 minutes from Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Main Station) on an AB-ticket (2,70€), compared to ~1hour (including the walk) on an ABC-ticket (3,30€) to Michendorf. There is a lot of long distance traffic going South heading south and Westwest, with high chances of finding a ride for at least several hundred kmkms. However, it is ''not'' a good spot to hitch East. <br/ >
