Hitchhiking out

North, East, South towards Hamburg, Osnabrück, Münster, Cologne, Hannover, Berlin

A really good place is the service area Lichtendorf at the A1, in the south of the town. From city center take subway U47 to Aplerbeck, than take the bus #431 or #438 to Lichtendorf Schule, follow the road until the end and turn right into Römerstraße. For going South turn left from Römerweg into a small service road going to the gas station. For going North continue until you can turn left and pass under the bridge and turn left again. The fare is about EUR 2,20.

West Essen, Holland, Belgium, Lille

It is very easy you can have a walk to the location from the city center. In the middle of the Wittekindstraße, there is a separation between cars going to Essen and those going to Kassel. go on the way to Essen, there is a street with shadow along a cimetery. Cars are not going so fast. It is perfect!
