East towards Bad Oeynhausen, Hannover, Bielefeld, A33, West towards Rheine, A1

Take bus 21 to Kreishaus/Zoo and get out at Osnabrück-Nahne. If you're not sure, ask the driver to let you out along the Iburger Strasse and tell him you have to go to the A30. The Iburger Strasse near the highway is a two-lane carriageway. Here you have two options for hitchhiking:

• Some meters behind the traffic light you'll find a car dealer. There's enough space for hitchhikers to stop cars. This spot is good for both directions, you're standing directly in front of the ramps.

• If you're heading eastwards, you can also walk directly to the ramp. Walk around the bend and you'll find a hard shoulder to stand on, but cars will possibly not stop that fast because you're already standing some meters behind the Autobahn sign where it's not allowed to hitchhike in Germany. Nevertheless, it's possible to get lifts from there. (See picture).

Attention: There are two ramps for direction east! It is recommended to take the ramp which is on the street going south (when you're coming from Osnabrück), the ramp on the other side is smaller and there's not much space for hitchhiking, also the road marking is in a bad condition there. Have a look to the map for relevant information.
