'''Oberhausen''' is a city in [[North Rhine-Westphalia]], located in the [[Ruhr Area]].

There are several ways to hitch hike out of Oberhausen, depending on the direction you want to go to. In general you want to get a lift taking you directly out of the Ruhr area when you are going long distances (lets say towards [[Berlin]] or [[Munich]]), since the autobahn network there is fairly confusing and it is quite hard to get back onto the right autobahn once you left it.

I recommend the ''Kreuz Oberhausen-Holten'' to get onto the A3, becoming the A2 direction north towards [[Hannover]] and A3 south direction [[Frankfurt]]. You have a bridge there to not get your thumb wet in case it rains and people tend to stop for you within the first 15 min.

To get onto the A40 I recommend taking the tram 112 (dir. [[Mülheim an der Ruhr|Mülheim]]), get out at ''Willy-Brandt-Schule'' and walk back to the entrance of the autobahn. No shelter but a traffic light where people have to stop and notice you.
