== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[Nürnberg]] {{Autobahn|9}} ===
'''Option 1''': Take the ''Subway 6'' to ''Studentenstadt''. From there walk about 300 m north on ''Ungererstraße'' until you are under a bridge. You will see signs for the motorways. This leads directly to the [[A9 (Germany)|A9]], a quick and easy route to [[Berlin]] or [[Nürnberg]]. For i.e. [[Cologne|Köln]] it is best to stop at the ''Rasthof Nürnberg/Feucht'' as the freeways converge here. To continue on [[A93 (Germany)|A93]], i.e. [[Regensburg]] and [[Dresden]] you can change the car at ''Rasthof Fürholzen'' some 30km north of Munich.
:The roadworks mentioned by Sitarane are now finished. Although traffic wasn't heavy, I found this to be an excellent spot and got a ride out within ten minutes.
:It is illegal for cars to stop here so when one does, it might be best to take it to the next Rasthof and continue from there if they aren't going far.

'''Option 2''': Take ''Subway 6'' to ''Nordfriedhof''. Take the north-west exit from the station (front-left if you go from the city centre). On your right you will see a two-lane road going out of a tunnel. This is the spot. You can get there crossing the bushes on it's right side. Beware of the ants. The cars are fast there but can easily stop, because only one lane is open for cars, what makes the second a perfect place to stop.
:Option 2 seems to be a lot better than the above, for two reasons. First, there is a lot of space for cars to stop. Second, all cars on this road go straight for the highway.
'''Option 3''': Take the S1 to Eching. Follow the road next to the station in the same direction of travel (north-east) as the train you leave. Walk under the autobahnbridge, once you are at first the crossing over the S Bahn take the bike path (it will turn a bit). You will go over another bridge and then need to head to Fürholzen. Once in the town, walk through it until you take Günzenhauser Straße to your left. Follow the road around to the right and you will see the Autobahn. Raststätte Fürholzen is then in front of you. Be sure to study the map in advance and take note that it's a 5–6 km walk. The spot is great, but it is not that easy to reach it. [http://goo.gl/maps/8oQK Here's a map]
OR: Take the S1 to Eching. Pass under the railway to the side where the trains head back towards Munich City and walk the bike path along the railway in the direction you arrived by train until you reach the first bridge that goes over the railway (around 100m). Shortly before the bridge, turn left to reach the road coming down from the bridge (Paul-Käsmeier-Straße). At this crossing (marked with B in [http://goo.gl/maps/AOYSz this map]) , you can hitchhike easily to the next town Günzenhausen and walk towards Fürholzen. This road will underpass the motorway, few meters later you'll find a small road to the gas station "Fürholzen Ost" (marked as C in the same [http://goo.gl/maps/AOYSz map]).
=== South towards [[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]] {{Autobahn|95}} ===
'''Option1''':
A really good spot to hitchkike in this direction is the petrol station near Machtsfinger Straße. Take the U3 direction Fürstenried West to Machtsfinger Straße. Get out of the station on the side towards Machtfinger Straße where there are the escalators. Turn right on Machtsfingerstraße and then left on Boschetsriederstraße. Follow it for a few hundred meters and you will see the petrol station on the right side. You can also take the bus 51 direction Moosach to Drygalski-Allee, the petrol station is 20meters behind it. A 95 is not the only direction from this station but many people will go there. The toilet is for free and even gendered.
'''Option 2''':
You can also start your hitchhike is on Fürstenrieder Straße. There is a bus stop 200 metres after the crossways Würmtalstraße-Fürstenriederstraße. Cars can easily stop there. Use a sign (A 95, or Garmisch).
In the evenings you can try to get a lift at the traffic light at the crossways.
