'''Chernivtsi''' (Ukranian: Чернівці, Russian: Черновцы, Romanian: ''Cernăuţi'') is a city in [[Ukraine]], just north of the border with [[Romania]] and close to [[Moldova]] as well. It is on the way from Moldova in direction of [[Lviv]] or [[Poland]] or the other way around.
Chernivtsi has no real bypass Transit: If you're coming from the West, East or North and want to proceed in one of these directions, there is a complicated main road that connects two roundabouts in the West and the East of the center which are great jump-off points. It's possible to hitch on this road networkeven though it's within the city. For more details, but if see below. If you get dropped off in the centre and wish to hitchhike onward, there are plenty of buses and trolleybuses and local people can tell you which to take. Besides Russian and Ukrainian, Romanian and German are widely spoken.
== Hitchhiking out ==
The road splits into the H10 towards Ivano-Frankivsk and the M19 towards Ternopil' at the village Mamaivtsi which is 8km further. Here you can find a great spot for going to Ternopil': a huge roundabout after which you can stand right before a railroad crossing where all drivers have to slow down if they don't want to wreck their car. Street lighting for dark nights inclusive.

Here they also had the company of a few locals coming and leaving by flagging down a ride. At around 10pm there was not too much traffic, but trucks passed by once in a while and finally one did stop (going all the way to Warsaw via Ternopol and [[Luts'k]] - they were unfortunate to have a transit for [[Hrebenne-Rava Ruska border crossing|Rava-Ruska]] marked in their passports).
