'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}''' (Danish: '''København''') is the capital of [[Denmark]].
[[File:Kopenhagen_Nyhavn.jpg|thumb|right|Copenhagen Nyhavn]]==Hitching OutHitchhiking out ==
===East towards [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], [[Gothenburg]]===On There are 2 ways to go to Sweden from Copenhagen, one being across the road bridge to Malmö and one being north to [[Malmo]], leading Helsingør and then with the ferry to Helsingborg. If you choose the bridgeoption towards Malmö then use one of the options below. If you're hitchhiking from Germany or elsewhere in Denmark, you might be able it's probably easier to first get to hitch the airport and then find a ride. Drivers are wary thoughgoing into Sweden, and maybe you should try getting rather than trying to get a direct ride with a sign "I don't carry drugs"from before Copenhagen.
Next ==== Option 1: Kastrup Airport ====The best spot to hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airport. Take the metro to the station "Lufthavnen / Copenhagen Airport", leave the terminal on the other side of the metro exit to the large parking lot and then go to the roundabout at the end, next to McDonalds/Netto/Statoil. Just after the roundabout there is a bus stop were the cars are able stop, which makes it a good place to this hitchhike from. You will also be able to keep an eye on the petrol station and hopefully spotsome cars with Swedish plates from that place. This hitchhiking spot has been used regularly by Öresund hitchhikers and was also the winning choice in a Copenhagen-Malmö hitchhiking competition.If you are in a hurry you shouldn't accept rides that are shorter than Malmö, since it could be difficult to catch a ride along the motorway. Always try to stay out of Malmö's motorway network and if possible prefer to follow your driver into Malmö center if there's no other alternative. It's much better to hitchhike Malmö's good spot (McDonalds at Stockholmsvägen) than the highway system.If you can also ask drivers at want to travel further up in Sweden you should check out the advices given in the Sweden(Malmö)section..(This spot was used for Malmö in July 2018 and just waited 20 min for a ride!)Under the airport there's a train station with trains going to Hyllie station and then to other stations in Malmo, so use it if it's the only option left. There might be a ticket check on the hypermarkettrain, so if you're like me, you risk facing a giant fine, where but in my case luckily a lot of Swedes go shopping before returning homecute girl checking tickets did nothing. They check your ID when you enter the station in Copenhagen and when you exit in Sweden due to the immigration issues.
===West towards [[Roskilde]], [[Fyn]] or [[Jylland]]=Option 2: Tårnby ==<map lat='55.671389288295465' lng='12.539520263671875' zoom='11' view='0' float='right'/><!--Take a bus out of cityOn the road to Malmö, leading to the bridge, you might be able to hitch a ride and . To get on Highway21 / Motorvej21, It will take you to Roskilde or further to Kalundborg or Sj. Odde (Both connected by ferry to Århus). Highway21 connects to: Highway E20 which will this spot take you to Funen and Jutland, and to: Highway E47 and E55 going south.If you want a ride that takes you further then the outskirts of town, this is properly a good place regional train to use a cardboard sign, also makes sure that you get the right highway going outTårnby from Copenhagen Central station.Take the bus ''#A1 Avedøre'' The slip road to ''Vigerslevvej''. There' you'll see the crossing to ''Folehaven'' which bridge is on the beginning opposite side of the motor 21road to Tårnby station. Additionally you can take Not much space to following busses also stop but as traffic lights cars are going that direction. Make sure you slow and get out at ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej'': bus ''#10 Flintholm St.'', ''#133 Avedøre St.'', ''#65E Avedøre St.'' There's a petrol station some meters before the crossing. You'll also find a bus stop where you can stand on, or just pull out your thumb on the hard shoulder next chance to the street. A sign saying the direction might be helpful.think about it!
Another option is to take a S-tog E towards Køge and hop off at Ny Ellebjerg. Walk southwest to the junction. At the other side of the crossing is a busstop after witch you can hitch. This is a fairly good spot with room for cars to pull ower.-->There are several ways of getting out of {{FULLPAGENAMEE}}. Heading west you have the following options==== Option 3:Sydhavn ====# Catch either S-tog A, E or F and get off at ''Ny Ellebjerg'' station. You can also check [http://www.rejseplanen.dk/bin/query.exe/en? rejseplanen] for take a bus (bus stop ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej''). Walking west along the road ''Folehaven'' you'll see a few traffic lights train to slow down the cars and plenty of space for cars to pull over. If you don't have any luck along the road keep walking a few hundred metres and you'll see a petrol station close to the beginning of highway 21. [[User:ColAlf|ColAlf]] experienced that this option is good when heading towards Roskilde or catching a ferry to Jutland from Sj. Odde or Kalundborg ([[#Ferry_between_Sj.C3.A6lland_and_Jylland|see below]]).# Catch a regional train or Sydhavn, only 2 stops after the metro M1 and get off at ''Ørestad'' main station. Walk across the parking area of Field's and you'll find the first hitch on-rampSydhavnsgade. Be aware that there are two on-ramps joining each other when heading west - make sure to be on We hitched before the most busy one.# If you prefer shell service stations along the highway catch S-tog E towards Køge and get off at ''Karlslunde'' station. Get out of the station because it was a weekend and turn right, when you reach ''Mosede Landevej'' turn right, walk down here to the end then turn right onto ''Karlslunde Strandvej'', walk down here for about 5-10 minutes then turn right onto ''Karlslunde Mosevej'' which leads you right to the highwaya business carpark entry was closed. Then you need to be on the service station on the right side of the road if you are hitching south or west, so cross under the bridge then you go up We also saw people with a little hill to get into the service station. It should take about half an hour to walk from the train station.# Take the S-tog E towards Køge and hop off at Ølby. Walk down Lyngvej towards the motorwaysign just after shell. After Its a bridge there's a roundabout and the motorway entrance both to south and westgood road. This is the last ramp before the E20/E47 fork. Loads of trucks drive through here because there's We had a big service station nearbylift on Sunday afternoon after 15 minutes.
===South towards = Malmö ring road for those heading north toward [[RødbyGothenburg]], or [[GermanyStockholm]]===Options #3 and #4 mentioned [[#West_towards_Roskilde.2C_Fyn_or_Jylland|above]] are recommended if heading south.=
===Ferry between [[Sjælland]] and [[Jylland]]===Hitching Bear in mind that the Malmö ring road has no good places for hitchhike on it. There are a ferry between [[Sjælland]] and [[Jylland]] is possiblefew on ramps with gasstations but at all of them getting stuck happens somewhat easily, too, as ofcourse you don't pay per person but per car on the ferrywill always find a ride somehow. Option #1 mentioned [[#West_towards_Roskilde.2C_Fyn_or_Jylland|above]] One option that can work well is probably the best way for getting if you are heading further north and get a car ride towards Holbæk Lund (20 km from the highway) it is possible to accept the rideoffer to Lund and further on get dropped of in the northwest end of Lund and hitchhhiing north west from Lund back to Sjthe highway. Odde or Kalundborg. Ferry timetables can be found at [[http://www.mols-linien.dk/english Mols-Linien]] but they run quite frequentlyThis works really well and quickly in comparison to the ringroad onramps.
=== North towards [[Helsingør]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], , [[Gothenburg]] === Another option for going to Sweden is heading north to Helsingør and catching the 20 minute ferry to Helsingborg from there. Take bus 4A and get off at Vibenshus Runddel. On Lyngbyvej the cars have lots of space to stop, and the road becomes a highway shortly after. There is not at lot of traffic on the small on-ramps on the way to Helsingör, so try to get a ride all the way from Copenhagen to Helsingör. A sign might be of use. It cost around 29 kr. (3,90 euro) to walk on the ferry, but you can hitchhike a ride onto the ferry, often finding a direct ride to Gothenburg or Stockholm, by standing in front of the ticket booth with a sign of your destination. the cars pay for 9 passengers included in every ticket, so they can take you for free onto the ferry. === West towards [[Roskilde]], [[Fyn]] or [[Jylland]] ===There are several ways of getting out of {{IsIn|HovedstadenFULLPAGENAMEE}}. Just make sure you do not get stuck at Køge. If you do get stuck at Køge, your best bet is the Tesla Supercharger Station behind the gas station, or at the top of the on ramp immediately east of the last roundabout. Heading west you have the following options: ==== Option 1: ====Catch either S-tog A, E or F and get off at ''Ny Ellebjerg'' station. Walk through the little alley on the south side of the station called 'Pylestikket'. Turn right on the main road and after a few hundred metres you'll reach the road ''Folehaven''. There you'll see a few traffic lights to slow down the cars. Cross the road and there's and plenty of space for cars to pull over. There's even a new official hitchhiking stop ("Blafferstoppested") close to ''Folehaven 84''. If you don't have any luck along the road keep walking a few hundred metres and you'll see the petrol station mentioned before close to the beginning of motorway 21, or try one of the many busstops.[[User:ColAlf|ColAlf]] experienced that this option is good when heading towards Roskilde or catching a ferry to Jutland from Sj. Odde or Kalundborg ([[#Ferry_between_Sj.C3.A6lland_and_Jylland|see below]]). If nobody stops, you could also walk some 100m behind the traffic light to the hard shoulder where the motorway begins. In case they are not going in the direction, where you want, ask them if they can drop you off at Karlslunde petrol station - a good petrol station, before the highway splits south and west.  ===== Option 1a: =====[[File:Spot copenhagen.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Hitchhiking spot at ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej'', an option is to stand on the hard shoulder at the beginning of the motorway you can see in the background]] An easier way to get to the same spot mentioned in option 1 is to take bus ''#A1 Avedøre'' to ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej''. There' you'll see the crossing to ''Folehaven'' which is the beginning of the motorway 21. Additionally you can take to following busses also going that direction. Make sure you get out at ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej'': bus ''#10 Flintholm St.'', ''#133 Avedøre St.'', ''#65E Avedøre St.'' There's a petrol station some meters before the crossing. You'll also find a bus stop where you can stand on, or just pull out your thumb on the [[shoulder|hard shoulder]] next to the street. A sign saying the direction might be helpful. Keep in mind that traffic might be pretty fast here already, but nevertheless [[User:Platschi|platschi]] got rides here twice within 5 minutes. For this spot, see the image on the right. ===== Option 1b : =====One way out of Copenhagen which we found quite quick was to catch the suburban train from Copenhagen Central Statio to Tärnby. There is an entrance to the E20 headed west there, on the same side of the road as the train station. There is not lots of space to stop but as there are traffic lights the cars are going slow and get chance to see you. ==== Option 2: ====Take the S-train or walk to ''Dybbølsbro station''. Walk towards the ''Fisketorvet'' mall, and just before there will be an on ramp to the highway. This is another one of the 4 official hitchhiking stops ("Blafferstoppested") in Copenhagen. ==== Option 3: ====Catch a regional train or the metro M1 and get off at ''Ørestad'' station. Walk across the parking area of Field's and you'll find the first on-ramp. Be aware that there are two on-ramps joining each other when heading west - make sure to be on the most busy one. === South towards [[Rødby]], [[Germany]] ===Use one of the before mentioned options for going west. There is a big petrol station called ''Karlslunde V'' before the motorway splits towards west and south. If you get a driver going west, you can jump off here, and find a car going towards ''Rødby''. Have in mind that most people are going west. Taking the ferry at the port of Rødby, which sails to [[Puttgarden]] in [[Germany]] is the quickest way to get to mainland Europe. In case you get a ride in a car, the price of the ferry remains the same for a car with up to 4 people, so you don't have to worry about any extra payments that the driver may have to make because of you.It is preferable to find a car going with the ferry to Germany before reaching ''Rødby'', as the ferry operator (Scandlines) sometimes will tell you to go away, even though it's before the check in. Most trucks going anywhere in Europe (including [[Great Britain]]) will go this way. ==== Great spot for dumpster diving on the way ====If you get stuck in the area or just get hungry, then at this spot - E20, highway exit 59, Fredericia S (First highway exit on Jutland). You can find two supermarkets ALDI and REMA 1000, where to dumpster dive in + a Statoil, where to wash everything. And small forest/bushes, where to stay for the night. == Hitchhiking in ==Both from [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]], and from [[Hamburg]], [[Lübeck]] oder [[Rostock]], [[Germany]], it is a good idea to get out of the car at the [[Airport]]. From there you can get to the city center by metro. Tickets are 35 DKK (about 4,60 €). === Ferry between [[Sjælland]] and [[Jylland]] ===Hitching a ferry between [[Sjælland]] and [[Jylland]] is possible, too, as you don't pay per person but per car on the ferry. Option #1 mentioned [[#West_towards_Roskilde.2C_Fyn_or_Jylland|above]] is probably the best way for getting a car towards Holbæk and further on to Sj. Odde or Kalundborg. Ferry timetables can be found at [Categoryhttp:Denmark//www.mols-linien.dk/english Mols-Linien]but they run quite frequently. Be aware that the ferry from Kalundborg is very slow (about 3 hours to Aarhus). == Links =={{nomadwiki}}* Check [http://www.rejseplanen.dk/bin/query.exe/en? rejseplanen]for timetables of buses __NOTOC__ [[Category:HovedstadenSjælland]]
