B170, A17 / E55 autobahn interchange ([http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=4650 map]). There is a traffic light at entry ramp to A17 east towards Prag with a blue sign, a wide shoulder, and just after the corner to the entry ramp is a small slab of asphalt were drivers can stop. Try to get a ride to the next rest stop, about 5 minutes away driving. <br>
To get here: <br>
A. * Get a ride to the A17 west onramp from one of the other options and walk across the bridge. The will be dropping you off on the side of the highway so be careful. <br>B. * From Dresden DB main train station take bus number 66 (MOCKRITZ) in direction Mokritz to the stop ''Altkaitz'' and walk over ''Possendorfer Straße'' and the fields in southward direction uphill to the interchange. This should not take longer than twenty minutes but might be much faster than waiting somewhere else. <br>C.* Take bus 360 towards A17 (direction ''Dippoldiswalde''). Press the stop button directly after you pass the onramp to A17 towards PragPrague. The bus will stop 200m later so walk back to the onramp. <br>:''2012, 20th January: This seems like the best way to get here but I was not able to figure it out after I got on the 360 at Südhöhe and it started going the wrong direction. Someone clarify please. -lex'':''2011, 13th August: at that place 5 minute wait!''MF and his grilfriend got a ride to the centre of Prague after half an hour. (MF):''2012, 20th January: about half an hour and I got a ride to the next park place. -lex'':''August 2012: Leg two on the way to India. Waited about an hour at the on-ramp here. Decent little space for drivers to pull into. Didn't get a ride all the way to Prague, but at a service station just over the border we literally waited about a minute. Good spot. --[[User:Looking for Stu|Looking for Stu]] 01:24, 18 August 2012 (CEST)
====Option 4.====Try to get to the first parking lot right after getting on the A17. Nearly everyone leaving Dresden in this direction is going to Pirna and will pass this park place. There is not very much traffic at this stop, but surely everybody is going across the border to the first gas station in [[Czech Republic]]. <br>To get here: <br>A. Get a ride from one of the previous options <br>B. Walk there. It is ca. 600m east from the Highway 170 onramp and it is not necessary to walk on the Autobahn. <br>:''2012, 20th January: about half an hour and I got a ride directly to Prague -lex''
<small>(There might be better spots in ''Dresden Prohlis'' - does anyone have any information ===== To get here: =====* Get a ride from one of the previous options* Walk there. It is ca. 600m east from the Highway 170 onramp and it is not necessary to walk on this?)</small>the Autobahn.
=== South by train, hitchhiking in Czech Republic ([[Děčín]], [[Ústí nad Labem]]) ===
As well the train ride as the road from Hřensko have really nice nature which is best experienced in good weather.
 
== Hitchhiking in ==
If you driver is passing Dresden in east-west direction, it's a good idea to have him drop you at the exit ''Dresden-Neustadt''. It's very easy for then driver to get back onto the motorway and there's a tram station from where you can get into the city centre easily.
