* '''Rasthof Michendorf'''—Just 30 minutes by 'Regionalbahn' (train) south west of Berlin. This is the most direct option. You easily get hitches to the south, west as well as to the east (Poland). Take a train (e.g. RE3 to [[Dessau]], check [http://www.fahrinfo-berlin.de/Fahrinfo/bin/ fahrinfo-berlin.de] for route information.) from the center (2.60 EUR). Get off at train station ''Michendorf''. Leave the station at the left side (in direction of the train). Turn right into the Potsdamer Straße, at the bus stop, and walk for 20 minutes straight on it. To go west or south ([[Munich]], [[Hannover]], [[Magdeburg]]) turn right into the Feldstraße and follow it till you see the service station. Enter it via the green emergency door. If you want to go east towards [[Poland]] or [[Dresden]] turn right after the tunnel (it's a small sandy road through a wood). Follow the road until you are at the restaurant of at the [[rest stoparea]]. This is a long arena so walk around the restaurant area, car parks, and petrol pumps.

* For going South or West you can try the '''Raststätte Grunewald'''. Take the ''S-Bahn'' train ''S7'' to ''Potsdam'' or ''S1'' to ''Wannsee'' and get out at ''Nikolasee''. Walk out of the train station, cross the bridge and you'll see the [[petrol station ]] next to you. Usually you will encounter some other hitchhikers ( "I stood there with 14 other Hitchhikers on a sunny Monday morning, 9 o`clock. Maybe Grunewald is a HH place, that is too well known!" --Bocia), but normally you get a car at the petrol station within a few minutes - at least to ''Michendorf''! Also standing at the traffic lights before the [[on-ramp ]] seems to be useful!

* Take a train to the S-Bahn station ''Schöneweide'', get out there and walk out of the station, turn right and after 300 meter you'll find two big [[service stations station]]s - although the [[Autobahn]] is far away-these are mostly the last possibilities for cars to get petrol - was once crowded with hitchhikers but is normally empty now and works fine! Locals usually stop at the second petrol station because it's cheaper normally. Also, behind this petrol station is a Burger King "Restaurant". If you choose your spot well, you can show a sign both to cars on the street who could stop at the Burger King entrance (but often drive too fast though) and to people leaving the second petrol station or entering Burger King.
