'''Horn-Bad Meinberg''' is a city located in the north-east of [[Nordrhein-Westfalen]], [[Germany]].
'''Horn-Bad Meinberg''' is the location of the ''Externsteine'', a rock formation consisting of several tall, narrow columns. This place was the secret destination of the 3rd [[BBOHC3|Belgian hitchhiking contest]]. On October 11, 2008, 40 participants hitchhiked from [[Gent]] in [[Belgium]] towards this spot.
==Hitching In==
===From [[Paderborn]], [[Ruhr Area]], [[Kassel]]===
If coming from the west (e.g. [[Ruhr Area]], [[Paderborn]], [[Kassel]]) it's best to hitch a ride towards [[Paderborn]]. Get out at ramp #26 of the [[A33 (Germany)|A33]], called ''Paderborn-Elsen''. There you'll find a roundabout and the B1, which is leading directly towards [[Bad Lippspringe]] and '''Horn-Bad Meinberg'''. Try your luck along the street - a good spot might be directly under the bridge - but be aware of bad drivers, it's not really allowed to stand along this way and there's also not much space for stopping cars. Not really recommended after dark.
==Hitching Out==
===North-west towards [[Bielefeld]]===
If you're visiting the ''Externsteine'' and want to hitch directly towards [[Bielefeld]] or [[Detmold]], just walk from the monuments towards the main road. There you can find a bus stop just on the other side of the road, with a good hard shoulder. Take position there, cars can see you early and it's easy for them to stop. Most might going to [[Detmold]], from there you can hitch your way further towards the [[A2 (Germany)|A2]] and Bielefeld. Don't walk further up the road, it's becomes serpentine and might decrease your chance to get a ride.
