→West towards Venlo, Rotterdam and Amsterdam
* Take a train somehow towards ''Oberhausen-Sterkrade''. From there take the bus #979 to the ''Heinrich-Heine-Straße'' in [[Bottrop]]. From there you'll see the motorway, just walk towards it. It's a good spot to hitch away fast towards [[Münster]] or [[Hannover]].
__NOTOC__
=== West towards [[trashVenlo]], [[Rotterdam]] and [[Amsterdam]] ===There are two options: 1. Relatively central, between the Ruhrport harbour and the city center, there is a big roundabout in Duisburg Kaßlerfeld, which leads right onto the highway. Traffic is high, especially during rushhour and cars go slow through the roundabout with possibilities to stop. Use a sign with ''Venlo'' or ''A40''. 2. More towards the West of the city, there is a good onramp in ''Duisburg-Esseberg'' . To get there, take the bus 928 towards ''WInkelhausen Bruchstraße'' and drop off at ''DuisburgEsseberg Brücke''. The bus quickly goes onto the highway and to cross the Rhine and leaves it exactly at the on/offramp you want to get on. After getting off the bus, walk back under the bridge to the onramp and position yourself just before the blue highway sign. On a general note: Hitchhiking is difficult, as many people do not go very far. Therefore, anything that gets you onto the highway and to a service/rest stop is usually a good shot. === South towards [[Cologne]], [[Frankfurt]] and [[Nuremberg]] === The best way to get out of Duisburg and onto the A3 which leads you to the south, right down to Bavaria and even to Austria, is to take the train at the main station towards ''Duisburg-Entenfang'' and drop out at ''Duisburg-Wedau''* From there it is a 5 minutes walk to the motorway access, just get out of the train station and walk down to the left, then keep to the right at the crossing.* It is adviceable to prepare a sign saying in which direction you want to go although there is actually just one possibilty for you (southwards). People are willing to take you onto the motorway, to the next service station or even further. Approx. waiting time: 15-30 minutes.* Passing [[Cologne]]could possibly get quite difficult but once you've done it, you are able to cross Germany in just 1 day and also easily switch motorways at some points on the road. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
