For the first option take tram #1 in the direction ''Lebuser Vorstadt'' and get out at the station ''Magistrale'' (it's very close to the McDonalds). Now you have to walk for a very long time. First of all you have to cross into Poland via the city bridge and then head right on the street ''1 Maja''. After some 30 minutes you'll pass the bazaar and 300 metres later take the road which splits from ''1 Maja'' to the right. This street's name is ''Powstancow Wielkopolskich''. Keep on walking on this street until another fork in the road. Take this fork and keep on walking. After about 50 minutes you'll reach the border station.
 
Along that route you will pass a bunch of petrol stations, beginning at the bazaar, where you might get in touch with a truck driver (look out for the TIR label) or a passenger car heading towards Poznan (licence number PXX) or Warsaw (WXX). Probably the best station is Ecotank where you find a lot of truck drivers resting.
For the faster option take bus #984 from the central station 'Bahnhof' to the stop 'Leinengasse'. You will notice that you pass the highway just before the bus stop already. Walk back, make your way to the highway and start walking. It is about 2km to the border station. Be aware that the bus runs not very often, so check [http://www.svf-ffo.de/fahrgastinfo/liniennetzfahrplan/Folder/Linie984.pdf the schedule] before hand.
== Alternatives ==
As mentioned above Frankfurt (Oder) und Slubice are not the best places to start hitchhiking. In case you're heading towards Poznan and Warsaw a cheap alternative might be the train that departs from Frankfurt main station. It costs about 6 EUR for students to Warsaw who get a 50% discount. At the moment the time tables looks as follows:
 
Frankfurt (Oder) to Poznan, departure 3:02pm
Poznan to Warsaw, departure 6:28pm
 
Do not forget to buy the ticket to Warsaw already in the first train to Poznan instead of buying two separate tickets.
