<!--
Take a bus out of city, hitch a ride and get on Motorway21 / Motorvej21, It will take you to Roskilde or further to Kalundborg or Sj. Odde (Both connected by ferry to Århus). Motorway21 connects to: motorway E20 which will take you to Funen and Jutland, and to: motorway 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 to use a cardboard sign, also makes sure that you get the right motorway going out.
Take the bus ''#A1 Avedøre'' to ''Vigerslevvej''. There' you'll see the crossing to ''Folehaven'' which is the beginning of the motor 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 [[hard shoulder]] next to the street. A sign saying the direction might be helpful.
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 1:'''  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 a bus (bus stop ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej''). Walking From the train station, walking west along the road ''Folehaven'' you'll see a few traffic lights 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 the petrol station mentioned before close to the beginning of motorway 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]]).If nobody stops, you could also walk some 100m behind the traffic light to the hard shoulder where the highway begins.  '''Option 1a:'''[[Image: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 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 [[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 2:''' 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.# '''Option 3:''' If you prefer service stations along the motorway catch S-tog E towards Køge and get off at ''Karlslunde'' station. When you step out of the train, 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 here to the end, then turn right onto ''Karlslunde Strandvej'', walk down here for about 5-10 minutes. At the second roundabout turn right onto ''Karlslunde Mosevej''. This street leads you right 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 bridge. Then you go up a little hill to get into the service station. 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.# '''Option 4:''' Take the S-tog E towards Køge and hop off at Ølby. Walk down Lyngvej towards the motorway. After a bridge there's a roundabout and the motorway entrance both to south and west. This is the last ramp before the E20/E47 fork. Loads of trucks drive through here because there's a big service station nearby.
===South towards [[Rødby]], [[Germany]]===
Options #3 1 and #4 1a mentioned [[#West_towards_Roskilde.2C_Fyn_or_Jylland|above]] are recommended if heading south. If you're more to service stations, you could also use option #3 or #4.
===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 [[http://www.mols-linien.dk/english Mols-Linien]] but they run quite frequently.
