==== Option 1: ====
Catch S-tog E (summer 2012 you need to take the sometimes its A train insteaddepending on construction/late night trains) towards Køge and get off at ''Karlslunde'' station. Walk platform the opposite direction than the train goes and take stairs down. Under the bridge take right, and then right again on a roundabout. Ignore signs saying that motorway is in the opposite direction - going this road you will end up in a bad place. Taking Karlslunde Strandvej walk for about 1.5km. On the second roundabout take right onto Karlslunde Mosevej, no clear sign to look for but there are two small restaurants here (Thai/Pizza), and Aldi. Walk another 1.5km to the motorway. If you are hitching south or west, you need to be on the right side of the road, so cross under the motorway tunnel/bridge and after 20 meters take turn left into on the nature over a small wooden bridgenewly paved road. Follow this small nature path along the motorway and it leads You will come up to the petrol station motorway within a minute.
If you're hungry, there's There used to be an excellent bakery's dumpster along the Mosevej where [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] broke his fast one July evening 2011, but as of December 2013 it's locked. The bakery is run by kind people, however, ask for leftover bread and you'll surely be given something. There is a great dumpster right at Karlslunde station, and the Aldi's dumpster was locked, howeveropen as well and full of goodies.
The train from the main station to Karlslunde takes you about 30 minutes, and it should take another 30 minutes to walk to the service station. Be aware that there are not many street signs guiding your way. The train ticket costs 63 Kroner, but it's easy to blackride (see below).
Here at this T-junction trucks and cars coming from both petrol stations pass by and if you are dressed nice and in a youngish manner you might get picked up in less than 30 minutes. It is important to remember that you are trying to go to Rødby.
Look where the cars that pass you are actually going to improve your location if needed. A certain hitchhiker was at the aforementioned Burger King exit for at least an hour and noticed that most people who went from there (at least at that time) weren't going on the way to Rødby. So this hitchhiker moved to the actual onramp of the highway where traffic was certain to go on the intended way --and cars were coming from more directions-- and he was picked up quite shortly.
==== Option 3: ====
 
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. 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.
 
Some km later there is a big gas station where you can look for foreign cars.
=== North towards [[Helsingör]], [[Helsingborg]] ===
You can camp here: Naturcenter Vestamager, Granatvej 3-15, 2770 Kastrup. There's a metro stop close by, on the M1 line, called Vestamager. It has water, toilets, you can make a bonfire, etc..It's a proper free of charge camping site, for more info check:
http://www.naturstyrelsen.dk/Naturoplevelser/Undervisning/Naturskoler/Hovedstaden/Naturcenter_Vestamager/
Also the more central Fælledpark could be a good option to camp and stay closer to the city.
There's spots where you can camp and where there's usually some tents near Christiania, again, ask around.
CHRISTIANIA INHABITANTS ARE OFFICIALLY NOT WELCOMING CAMPERS, THEY CAN BE RUDE AND THERE'S A HUGE PANEL WRITTEN NO CAMPING INSIDE. The only way can be find and ask the right people going far away from the village. Rumors and stories of bad episodes plus general people attitude when you ask them for tips..doesn't really push you to try..other places are better!
Or if it's cold/rainy outside you can try sleeping on the 3rd floor of Field's mall, on the bottom of the exhibition area where the lift leaves you facing, just in front of Ørestad metro/train stop. [http://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Sevetse Sevetse]
slept there on a Friday night and no one ever came to disturb, not even for cleaning (which they might do sometimes). There is free wifi and toilets open all night long. [http://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Sevetse Sevetse] slept on big cushions available at the time.
 
Another option if it's rainy (not if it's cold though) it's find a good spot in one of the hundreds playground that populate the city. [[User:Fedecicco|Fede]] found a perfect spot next to the cimitery- park Assistens Kirkegård. There is a playground (20 metres north passed the chapel) with literally tree houses, two huts built at 1.5-2m height from the ground where you can lay down with your mat if you don't have any tent or don't want to let it wet if it's rainy. It appears to be very safe and not transited either during the day and you can dare leave your stuff there if you don't want to walk around with them. Very close to it there's also a very popular hostel where you can mingle among the guests and sneak inside to use internet (free computers and wifi) and have shower.
Lockers can be found for daytime activities at both the National Museum (closes 17:00) and The Satents Museum for Kunst, (Closes 20:00.) Lockers cost 10dkk which is refunded upon return.
