Hitchhiking out
South towards Berlin
Take bus number 23 from the central station in Rostock. Go out at exit Brinckmansdorf. There will be a Total station 20 meters in the direction of travel. A little further on is a traffic light, with a right turn leading to the A20 south. From here you have several good options, ordered fastest to slowest (according to Dr.Keith):
- Ask drivers at the gas station if they're going your way
- Go to the traffic light and turn left. There is a space for cars to stop on the onramp.
- Hitch just before the gas station entrance, so cars wanting to stop just turn into it. There's a traffic light so the cars will be somewhat slow.
West towards Hamburg, East towards Szczecin
Take tram 2 or 5 to Südblick (the last stop). Walk in the direction of the tram out of the city. There is a nice place to hitch here, right between a sideroad and bus stop. Bring a sign that says 'A20 OST' or 'A20 WEST'.
You can get to the port by taking Bus 40 from the main station or Kröpeliner Tor to 'Rostock Fähre', or the S3 from the main station to 'Seehafen Nord'. The bus will cost EUR 2.50 more than a normal ticket, but if you take the S-Bahn, you will have to walk a bit more.
Check timetables here.
Denmark
The ferries leave every two hours, along with Bus 40. Just follow the signs for the ferry to Gedser. If no one picks you up, the passenger fee of EUR 7.50 is reasonable. On the 1hr 45min trip, you can ask other drivers if they are going in your direction. It's really easy to get a ride to Copenhagen.
Sweden and Finland
The ferries to Trelleborg and Helsinki charge based on the number of passengers, but maybe you can make a deal with a driver. Check fares here. trash:Rostock
