__NOTOC__
'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}Chernivtsi''' (Ukranian: Чернівці, Russian: Черновцы, Romanian: ''Cernăuţi'') is a city in [[Ukraine]], just north of the border with [[Romania]] and close to its border as well as to [[Moldova]]as well. It is on the way from Moldova in direction of [[Lviv]] or [[Poland]] or the other way around. It could possibly be a nightmare to be stuck in, because there is no real bypass and a complicated road network.
==Hitching out =North = === Northwest towards [[Ivano-Frankivsk]] (H10), north towards [[TernopolTernopil']](M19) ===First hitch North-West towards the next small village ''Mamaivtsi''. If you are at From the central train station (''Vokzalu Stantsiavokzalu stantsia'') follow the street to the north-westnorthwest, cross the river and at the next roundabout turn right , and that's your way (or maybe take a marszrutka - ''marshrutka'', as it is about 10km from the train station). There is a great spot for going further north: a huge roundabout after which you can stand right before a railroad crossing where all drivers have to slow down if they don't want to wreck their car. Street lighting for dark nights inclusive. The road splits into the H10 towards Ivano-Frankivsk and the M19 towards Ternopil' at the village Mamaivtsi.
[[User:n0id|n0id]] and M. had the company of different locals coming and leaving by flagging down a ride. At around 10pm not too much traffic, but a truck once in a while and finally one did stop (going all the way to Warsaw via Ternopol and [[Luts'k]] - they were unfortunate to have a transit for [[Hrebenne-Rava_Ruska_border_crossing|Rava-Ruska]] marked in their passports).
== South towards [[Suceava]] (RO) (M19) ==
[[User:CRCulver|Christopher Culver]] vaguely remembers hitchhiking south out of Chernivtsi by taking a trolleybus to the last stop, which is on the street that becomes the M19, and then walking a few hundred metres down the road. There were plenty of trucks passing by, and a petrol station where he successfully asked drivers for lifts. The road enters Romania at the [[Siret-Porubnoe border crossing]].
