'''Germany''' is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]]. It is a great country for [[hitchhiking]]. Just make sure you get on the ''Autobahn'' (motorway)! There it is best to get to a ''RaststätteRaststätte'' ([[service area]]) where drivers can legally stop and get from one to another. You will often find [[maps]] with the motorways and the service areas along them. On most on ramps you will get also reasonably fast a ride. Just make sure not to end up on a "Schnellstrasse" (leading to the on ramp), where cars go fast and cannot stop.
In Germany there are no speed limits on many highways. So you might first want to try to get a ride with fast cars before asking truck drivers! Trucks are great during nighttime, but like in [[France]], there are restrictions to when they might drive. In Germany, most trucks aren't allowed to drive on Sundays or public holidays until 22:00.
If you are traveling specific highways, have a look at the '''[[Template:Highways DE|highways]]''' page or at the bottom of this article. There you'll find specific information about the ramps and hints along the highways, currently especially for the route [[Amsterdam]]â–[[Berlin]] along the [[A2 (Germany)|A2]] and [[A30 (Germany)|A30]]!

Ratio is 1:350000. You can usually get them in local bookstores for about EUR 8.
[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] suggests the ''Aral StraÃenStraßen-Atlas Deutschland & Europa''. It contains a detailled map of '''Germany''' and bordering countries, with city maps of the biggest German cities and all service stations along the highway. Costs EUR 7,95. Available at all ''Aral'' service stations and bookstores.
