== Hitching Out Hitchhiking 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, leading and one being north to Helsingør and then with the bridge, you might be able ferry to hitch a rideHelsingborg. Next to this spot, If you can also ask drivers at choose the hypermarket, where a lot option towards Malmö then use one of Swedes go shopping before returning homethe options below. (If you're hitchhiking from Germany or elsewhere in Denmark, it's probably not as common anymore since the strong danish krona have made it expensive for Swedes easier to shop in Denmark. Nowadays danish people go first get to the airport and then find a ride going into Sweden , rather than trying to shop)get a direct ride from before Copenhagen.

==== Option 1: Kastrup Airport ====The best spot to hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airport. Take the metro to the station "lufthavnLufthavnen / 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 (its left of the metro exit). Just after the roundabout there is a bus stop were the cars are able stop, which makes it a good place to hitchhike from. You will also be able to keep an eye on the gas petrol station and hopefully spot some 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.

==== Option 2: Tårnby ====On the road to Malmö, leading to the bridge, you might be able to hitch a ride. To get to this spot take a regional train to Tårnby from Copenhagen Central station. The slip road to the bridge is on the opposite side of the road to Tårnby station. Not much space to stop but as traffic lights cars are going slow and get chance to think about it!  ==== Option 3: Sydhavn ====You can also take a train to Sydhavn, only 2 stops after the main station and hitch on sydhavnsgadeSydhavnsgade. We hitched before the shell service station because it was a weekend and a business carpark entry was closed. We also saw people with a sign just after shell. Its a good road. We had a lift on Sunday afternoon after 15 minutes. ==== Malmö ring road for those heading north toward [[Gothenburg]] or [[Stockholm]]==== Bear in mind that the Malmö ring road has no good places for hitchhike on it. There are a few on ramps with gasstations but at all of them getting stuck happens somewhat easily, ofcourse you will always find a ride somehow. One option that can work well is if you are heading further north and get a ride towards Lund (20 km from the highway) it is possible to accept the rideoffer to Lund and get dropped of in the northwest end of Lund and hitchhhiing north west from Lund back to the highway. This 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.

There are several ways of getting out of {{FULLPAGENAMEE}}. 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:

Catch either S-tog A, E or F and get off at ''Ny Ellebjerg'' station. From Walk through the little alley on the south side of the train station, walking west along 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 beginssplits south and west.

[[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 highway 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 3: =South towards [[Rødby]], [[Germany]] ===If you prefer service stations along Use one of the motorway catch S-tog E towards Køge and get off at before mentioned options for going west. There is a big petrol station called ''KarlslundeV'' stationbefore the motorway splits towards west and south. When If you step out of the trainget a driver going west, be sure to turn into the direction where the train was coming from. Take this side's exit out of the station, then turn right. When you reach ''Mosede Landevej'' turn right. Walk down can jump off here to the end, then turn right onto and find a car going towards ''Karlslunde StrandvejRødby'', walk down here for about 5-10 minutes. At Have in mind that most people are going west. Taking the ferry at the second roundabout turn right onto ''Karlslunde Mosevej''. This street leads you right port of Rødby, which sails to [[Puttgarden]] in [[Germany]] is the motorwayquickest way to get to mainland Europe. If In case you are hitching south or westget a ride in a car, you need to be on the right side price of the roadferry remains the same for a car with up to 4 people, so cross under the bridge. Then you go up a little hill don't have to get into worry about any extra payments that the service station. The train from the main station driver may have to Karlslunde takes make because of you about 30 minutes, and it should take another 30 minutes to walk .It is preferable to find a car going with the service station. Be aware that there are not many street signs guiding your way. The train ticket costs 63 Kroner. Passengers seem ferry to be checked for their tickets regularly and getting caught without a ticket can cost 636 Kroner (105 Euros). Especially if they canGermany before reaching ''Rødby't check whether the address you're telling them is correct, they might try to take as the money you have with ferry operator (Scandlines) sometimes will tell youto go away, so better even though it's before the check in. Most trucks going anywhere in Europe (pretend toincluding [[Great Britain]]) not have money for paying will go thisway.

==== Option 4: Great spot for dumpster diving on the way ====Take If you get stuck in the area or just get hungry, then at this spot - E20, highway exit 59, Fredericia S-tog E towards Køge (First highway exit on Jutland). You can find two supermarkets ALDI and hop off at Ølby. Walk down Lyngvej towards the motorway or take REMA 1000, where to dumpster dive in + a more safeStatoil, legal but more complicated waywhere to wash everything. At the bridge over the motorway there's a roundabout and the motorway entrance both And small forest/bushes, where to south and west. This is the last ramp before stay for the E20/E47 fork. Loads of trucks drive through here because there's a big service station nearbynight.

==Hitchhiking in = South towards =Both from [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]], and from [[Hamburg]], [[RødbyLübeck]] oder [[Rostock]], [[Germany]] ===Options #1 and #1a mentioned , it is a good idea to get out of the car at the [[#West_towards_Roskilde.2C_Fyn_or_Jylland|aboveAirport]] are recommended if heading south. If From there you're more can get to service stationsthe city center by metro. Tickets are 35 DKK (about 4, you could also use option #3 or #460 €).

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 [http://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).
