'''Augustow''' is a city on North-East [[Poland]] along the [[E67]]. You will most likely have to pass it on your way from Europe to the Baltics and vice versa.

==Hitching Out==
You have actually three options: Your driver stopps stops in Augustow and brings you to the spots described below. It really should be no detour for them. Option two would be your driver is passing it and goes further anyway, or worst case, the car will stop at the beginning of town. Then you have to walk for about 30-40min to cross it, following the signs for Suwalki Suwałki or Bialystok, or just follow the dust and smell of the neverending never ending [[TIR]] convoy. ===North towards [[SuwalkiSuwałki]], [[Lithuania]]===At the end of town, after crossing the river bridge, there's a huge bus stop for stopping cars. Some traffic here might get off earlier, so best bet is to walk about 500m further. You'll recognize a traffic light and behind this, about 50m, you'll find a much better hitchhiking spot. Spot is also fine for night hitchhiking, at least you can catch cars here towards SuwalkiSuwałki.
Take care, at the crossing traffic might also go eastwards for [[Lithuania]], or you might assume this, but TIR over 7,5t are not allowed on that road. Anyway: Most traffic for e.g. [[Vilnius]] might as well go via [[Kaunas]]. It is definitely your best bet to hitch further north along the E67 and then go east.
===West towards [[Elk]]===
At the roundabout in the south of the town, walk westwards. There are some bus stops on the way, so walk as much as you prefer and try to hitch cars. Best bet is to go only with traffic directly to Elk, as inbetween in between there are barely good spots to find, especially at night it can be very difficult.
