Hitchhikig to Warsaw, [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] can only say that this is very well possible on the border station. This border station is actually on the Polish side, because the actual border is in the middle of the river Oder, and well, it’s just located after the Polish shore, that was easier to construct. To get there on foot will take you for sure an hour, maybe 90 minutes, if you know the way.

To get there, you shall take the tram line 1 (directen LEBUSER VORSTADT) and get out at the station MAGISTRALE (its very close to the McDonalds). Now you have to walk for a very very long time.

After like 30 min you ll pass the BAZAR and take in like 300 meters the road which deverges from the street 1 maja on the right. the name is POWSTANCOW WIELKOPOLSKICH. Keep on walking on this street until another deverge will appear. take this deverge and keep on walking. after 50 min you ll rach the border station.

Frankfurt/Oder is a town in the very east of Germany in the federal state Brandenburg on the Polish border.

It is not a good place to get stuck in. Slubice, its Polish counterpart, on the other side of the river is just as bad, if not worse. It's probably worth coughing up the euros to get you to Warsaw - if you're here, you've probably cocked up somewhere. Maybe you got here on the train from Berlin, and didn't want to pay the extra to go to Warsaw. If you do end up here though, then check out the graffiti, and try and make some friends to take you to the squat, which is almost a museum of graffiti.

Hitching out

West towards Berlin E 30

If you want to go to Berlin, or generally direction west, take tram 1 in the direction Neuberesinnschen (€1,20) and get off at the last stop. Then walk some 100 m along the street Mühlenweg. You will see a petrol station. You can hitchhike at the exit of the station. It usually takes 10-20 minutes until somebody offers a ride.

East towards Poznan, Warsaw E 30

Hitchhiking into Poland is best done from point where the E30 crosses the border. This border station is actually on the Polish side, because the actual border is in the middle of the river Oder. To get there on foot will take you for sure an hour, maybe 90 minutes, if you know the way.

First take tram 1 in the direction Lebuser Vorstadt and get out at the station Magistrale (it's very close to the McDonalds). Now you have to walk for a very long time. First of all you have to cross into Poland via the city bridge and then head right on the street 1 Maja. After some 30 minuntes you ll pass the bazaar and 300 metres later take the road which splits from 1 Maja to the right. This street's name is Powstancow Wielkopolskich. Keep on walking on this street until another fork in the road. Take this fork and keep on walking. After about 50 minutes you'll reach the border station.

Even though this is a very long way and on the german side you could get very close to the highway brigde, ist not a good idea (PLUS its forbidden in germany) to do so. Template:IsIn:Germany
