There's a pretty [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=jyv%C3%A4skyl%C3%A4&sll=61.498023,23.764859&sspn=1.10885,3.534851&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Jyv%C3%A4skyl%C3%A4,+Finland&ll=62.232295,25.735946&spn=0.008457,0.027616&z=16&layer=c&cbll=62.232233,25.73425&panoid=780NvKt-r4IwSf2DBzGK8w&cbp=12,307.61,,0,-3.46 good hh-spot] just next to the university's campus called Mattilanniemi. '''Coming from the center:''' follow the street called '''Kauppakatu''' (the name changes into '''Seminaarinkatu''' and then to '''Alvar Aallon katu'''). Turn left to '''Kramsunkatu'''. There's a bridge for pedestrians over '''Rantaväylä''' to the university campus. Don't cross the bridge but go down the small hill to the "shoulder", the side of the road, of Rantaväylä. Walk a bit closer to the traffic lights.

This is a bit tricky but not impossible. '''Coming from the center:''' Cross the bridge that goes through the trainstation. There's a fair center (Messuhalli) on the other side of the train tracks and the road. Walk to the left after the bridge towards the road. Go over a small knee-height fence to the shoulder of the road. Walk on the side of the road a bit more to find a good hh-spot, where the cars have enough space to stop. '''If this doesn't work out''', walk down the road some more until you reach a pedestrian path on your right hand side. Follow it until it goes up in a bridge to cross the highway. Hitchhike before the bridge, because that's where the cars start speeding up.
