There are a few places near bus stop ''Südhöhe'' (Bus lines 72, 76 & 360) at the overpass intersection of Bergstraße, Südhöhe, Kohlenstaße. <br>

Try to stop cars on various bus stops or near traffic lights on ''Bergstraße'' between city center and ''Südhöhe''. However, it is difficult for the drivers to stop on this road and taking a bus to ''Südhöhe'' is recommended. Haltestelle ''Mommsenstraße'' is probably the best as you can easily stand close to the bridge and ask people at the traffic light. It is not advisable to walk along highway 170 past Südhöhe.

There is a traffic light at entry ramp to A17 east towards Prag with a blue sign, a wide shoulder, and just after the corner to the entry ramp is a small slab of asphalt were drivers can stop. Try to get a ride to the next rest stop, about 5 minutes away driving. <br>

Having tried a few of the above options, we headed to the Technical University ('Technische Universtät') and got a ride in about 20 minutes. It's along the highway to Prague and I figured it might have a younger population driving past (being based around a uni).
