- *Entry via Denmark (bridge or ferry) should be ok(transit). Probably better find a direct ride from Germany to Sweden. It should be rather easy from [[Puttgarden|Puttgarden (ferry)]] as the ferry runs pretty much non stop every 30min and is one of the main routes from Germany to Sweden. The ferry goes to Denmark so make sure the car goes further to Sweden afterwards!

no edit summary
Possible issues are the obligation to wear masks in public space which exists in multiple areas, and conditions that are imposed on crossing borders. However the extent to which these regulations are enforced vary, eg. in Spain and France there is little control and negotiation is often possible. When crossing borders, hitchhiking can work to your advantage if you catch a ride in a car that has the right license plates.
It's safe to say that rules are changing constantly and every country has their own rules. You may have to show a negative corona test and/or vaccination status at borders. You may be forced to quarantine for a any number of days. Wearing a face mask may be compulsory inside and even outside. It's probably good to have some idea of the current rules when going from one country to another.
== Respect and Safety ==
[[User:Warlo|Warlo]] Has hitchiked sparsely thru the pandemic and noticed no significant difference, particularly in Germany where rides are quick and plenty as usual. Also he is very surprised how up until this writing, no driver (and passengers if any) were interested in his offers to wear a mask, sit in the back, etc.

=== [[Europe]] ===
EU and Schengen-States highly restrict entry form non member countries. Within the EU travel to some extend extent is still possible. You can find info about most entry rules and local measurements measures here:

==== [[Spain]] ====
==== [[Netherlands]] ====
As of some point in May the Netherlands will be forcing people to quarantine for 10 days. This is on top of the requirement to show of showing a negative test.
==== [[Belgium]] ====
Quarantine unless you're staying less than 48 hours.
==== [[Switzerland]] ====
Switzerland requires testing if '''a)''' you arrive by plane, or '''b)''' you have spent time in one of the [https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/en/home/krankheiten/ausbrueche-epidemien-pandemien/aktuelle-ausbrueche-epidemien/novel-cov/empfehlungen-fuer-reisende/liste.html risk countries] in the ten days before arriving. In the latter case, you also need to quarantine for ten days. Switzerland does not ban anybody from entering. You are required to fill in a form prior to arrival, but only if you're coming from further than from a border area. It might not be required to fill in the form if you're not travelling by public transport, but this is a bit unclear.
