'''Hamburg''' is the second largest city in [[Germany]] and is located in the north.

=== North or South towards [[Lübeck]], [[Denmark]], [[Bremen]] ===

If you want to go south or towards [[Lüneburg]] you should start at '''Raststätte Stillhorn'''. It is easy to get there. Just take S3 or S31 to Wilhelmsburg and then a bus (line #13) to Kirchdorf-Süd. You get off at the last stop (ten minute trip max.). Walk towards the big white apartment block by the grassy area and you will hear the motorway A1. After crossing the furthest little bridge on the left, you're already on the parking lot of the [[service station]]. This is for all traffic going in the direction of Bremen and Hanover.

If you need to go to the other side of the motorway for traffic going in the direction of Lübeck and Berlin, cross the furthest little bridge on the right and walk right for ~500 meter. There, cross the motorway by walking under the tunnel, and behind it you already see the service station to your left. Just behind the on-ramp there's a little path towards the service station.

For going north to mainland [[Denmark]] (direction [[Flensburg]], [[Kiel]], [[Kolding]]) take the metro ''U2'' towards ''Niendorf-Markt''. From there get out and ask people for the bus station (''Busbahnhof''). There take bus #191 until stop ''Sellhopsweg''. Get out there, walk some 200m back to the traffic light. You'll see that the road going left follows the way to the motorway. There's no footpath, so you have to walk along the green space next to the road. Might be tricky in winter, easy in summer. Just take care when [[trucks]] and cars coming from behind! After some 300m you're at the ramp. There's enough space for you to stand on, and it's easy for cars to recognize you and to stop. Have a look at the picture for this spot. Oh, someone mentioned that this spot might be illegal to stand on, but can you find an ''Autobahn'' sign in the picture ? ;-)

Also you can get to a gas station on the A1 heading to Denmark by catching the S-Bahn to the stop called Wilhelmsburg. From there catch bus number 13 to the stop Kirchdorf süd, which is the last stop on the route. Walk up past where the buses turn around, follow the motorway to the right, go under the motorway by way of the tunnel, and there is the petrol station!

Every car I met there was heading towards Hamburg or Luneborg - if you want to go to Denmark, try option 4!
