Route Amsterdam - Berlin

Hitchhiking the route Berlin - Amsterdam (or vice versa) seems to be very popular among hitchhikers. In theory, the route of 656 km (according to google maps) can be done in 6 hours and 12 minutes by car. With hitchhiking, it's also possible to do this route within 7-9 hours, so it's an easy day trip. This if you're lucky, not hitchhiking on a holiday or being in one of the many traffic jams between Braunschweig and Hannover. Anyway, then you could try Traffic Jam Hitchhiking.

From Amsterdam

From Amsterdam you will follow the A1 towards Amersfoort, Hengelo and Germany. Your best chance is to start at the official Liftplaats near the Amstel Station, or at the Petrol-station 50 meters further that road. 15 Kilometers further the A1 you will find a large petrol-station near Muiden (between exit 2 Muiden and 3 Muiden). You can ask your drivers if they'll pass that spot or even go further. The second petrol-station is just before the first exit to Amersfoort. You will find also good spots at the entries along the highway as there is often a rather large on-ramp that you can use to thumb drivers. After you crossed the border near Hengelo it changes into the A30, you will follow that road until you'll hit Berlin

From Berlin

The best starting point might be the service station Grunewald West, easy to reach with tram #S1, stop Nikolassee. Just go out of the station, walk over the highway and then right into the path, and you're there. This one is located on highway A115.

Your first choice might be asking people going in direction A2 (Magdeburg, Hannover) or even into the Ruhr Area. Check out car numberplates, yellow ones might be Dutch people (jackpot!), or cars with H, MD or other cities along your route might be the first choice. Anyway, it's also possible to get rides with people who are going towards the south, because there's another great service station, called Michendorf West. From here, an high amount of traffic is going either onto the A2, or the A9. The second one leads you towards Munich, so not our way. At the Berlin article you find more information on how to get to Michendorf directly with a tram.

-> A2 -> A30 (Germany) -> A1 (Netherlands)

In these places little information is available or the description is severely outdated. If you have been there, whether hitchhiking, for travel or as part of an organized tour − be sure to extend this article!
