hitchhiking places

petrol station near Krähenstieg

Take Tram 9 in Magdeburg towards Neustädter See and get out at Krähenstieg. Walk left, crossing the tracks and the street. Turn right after the tower-like building and walk down the street there. After some meters you will recognize the petrol station behind some trees on the left side. It is directly located along the B71 and is connected with the ramp Magdeburg-Centrum which leads you towards direction Berlin or Hannover.

In the afternoon you meet a lot of people who just go to their home villages in Jerichower Land (number plate JL), Ohrekreis (OK) or Sachsen-Anhalt West (SAW) but there are also cars going longer distances.

Be careful: Some people reported that employees of the station told them to leave because "it is forbidden to talk to the car owners". They tried to make the hitchhikers leave and threatened to call the police. There are speculations that this depends on the daytime, your appearance and the presence of certain employees or the boss.

service station Börde

Another option is the service station Börde Nord and Börde Süd, a pretty nice starting point for hitchhikers. However, it includes a longer bus ride starting at the central bus station Damaschkeplatz behind Hauptbahnhof.

You can take bus number 615 towards Eichenbarleben and get out at bus stop Mammendorf (Eichenbarleben). From here you can walk to the service station: this map may help you; the service station is on the right side at the upper corner.

You can also take bus number 618 towards Rottmersleben until Groß Santersleben. Form here you need to take the Mammendorfer Weg (direction southwest). You will first see the service station Börde Nord (A2 westbound) and after you've passed the bridge you will find a path to Börde Süd (A2 eastbound and A14) on the left side.

Leipziger Chaussee/Salbker Chaussee

Some cars take this way when they are leaving Magdeburg to the south. You can either ask at the petrol station or the traffic lights. Unfortunately, many cars are leaving the Autobahn before they pass the next service station.

Take bus 57 until "Flughafen" and walk westwards crossing one traffic light. On the right side is the petrol station, on the left side is the last traffic light before the Autobahn where there is a lot of place for cars to pull over for you on the central reservation of the street. Only cars turning left go towards the Autobahn.

Hitching In

A2 exit Rothensee

If you find a driver who is passing Magdeburg on the A2 but not willing to bring you into the city, you can ask hir to drop you off at the exit Magdeburg Rothensee because the tram stop Barleber See is directly next to it. The last train (Tram 10 at daytime, Tram 94 at night) leaves at 23:17 and the first at 5:47. However, if you miss the last one, you can also walk 3 km to the stop Hohenwarther Straße – just follow the big road. There, Tram 94 can pick you up at 0:02, 0:52, 1:52, 3:02 every day and 4:21 on weekdays or 4:07, 4:28 and 4:52 on weekends. (all times as of January 2009) Otherwise, the industrial area has acceptable sleeping places in the grass if you walk around a bit.
