:It is illegal for cars to stop here so when one does, it might be best to take it to the next Rasthof and continue from there if they aren't going far.
Option 2: Take ''Subway 6'' to ''Nordfriedhof''. Take the north-west exit from the station (front-left if you go from the city centercentre). On your right you will see a two-lane road going out of a tunnel. This is the spot. You can get there crossing the bushes on it's right side. Beware of the ants. The cars are fast there but can easily stop, because only one lane is open for cars, what makes the second a perfect place to stop.
:Option 2 seems to be a lot better than the above, for two reasons. First, there is a lot of space for cars to stop. Second, all cars on this road go straight for the highway.
=== Southeast towards [[Salzburg]], [[Vienna]], [[Innsbruck]], [[Italy]] {{Autobahn|8}} ===
The [[A8 (Germany)|A8]] begins inside the town. A few hundred meters before the beginning, there is a bus stop called Ramersdorf, so enough place to stop. Take a subway to ''Karl-Preis-Platz'' or just walk from the town center centre along ''Rosenheimer Straße''. This is far from an ideal spot, as it's very difficult to catch the attention of the drivers in this spot, and there is too much urban traffic and buses. If you do choose this spot, make sure you have a very visible sign.
The easiest way to get out towards [[Rosenheim]] is to get the U-bahn/S-bahn to Ostbahnhof. From there, turn left onto OrleansstrasseOrleansstraße. Keep walking until you get to Rosenheimer StrasseStraße. Take a left when you reach it. About 500m on the right-hand side is a Shell gas station. There is also a bigger Aral gas station another 300m further on the same road. This is probably the best option for getting a hitch. There are also a good couple of places for cars to pull in before and after this gas station so if the through-flow is bad you can always try this.
Or walk straight after seeing bus station Rosenhimer Rosenheimer Straße pass the street, pass the huge sign A92 and stay at the and of the fence and when any car stop just him to drop you at Rosenheim service station or if you want to go to Balkan make sure that you get out before A10 in Austria.
It's possible to put ''Rosenheim'' on a sign, which is the next city along the motorway. Close to [[Rosenheim]], there is a huge service area (''Irschenberg''), where you will surely get a ride to [[Austria]].
I went near the bus station Rosenhimer Rosenheimer Straße, and little bit further at the left, there is a petrol station, it s not a really good place as the road is turning at that place, but at least cars can stop, and it seems to me as the best place there.
==== To [[Vienna]], [[Budapest]] ====
=== South towards [[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]] {{Autobahn|95}} ===
The best spot to start your hichhike hitchhike is on Fürstenrieder Straße. There is a bus stop 200 metres after the crossways Würmtalstraße-Fürstenriederstraße. Cars can easyily easily stop there. Use a sign (A 95, or Garmisch).
In the evenings you can try to get a lift at the traffic light at the crossways.
Both spots are not really good but okay.
From Heimeranplatz it is also possible to walk within 5-10 minutes.
Second option is to take the s-bahn number 8 (S8) to Neugilching, and walk on the main road 'Landsberger StrasseStraße' in the same direction where the train is going, in 800 meter you will see in the right a petrol station and Make death(MC), there you can ask people for a lift for your direction or just for the gas station in Landsberg, where are more cars stopping.
Also u can hitch from the ramp to the direction of Lindau, i waited there few minutes.
From the central railway station (''Hauptbahnhof''), take tram S2 towards ''Petershausen''. Get out at ''Obermenzing''. There along the street you can either walk the 2-3 km towards the motorway, or take bus #143 towards ''Blutenburg''.
The bus #143 stop is across the road from the S2 exit. If the bus is not leaving for a while, you can easily hitchhike at the traffic lights nearby. I would advise putting 'Augsburg' on the sign. There is a service station, Rasthof Augsburg, just before this town, which is '''closed as of May 2013''', expect a long waiting time at Augsburg - as long as Rasthof Augsburg is closed it's better find a ride all the way to Ulm. '''Update:''' When Insa and [[User:Jan |Jan]] were at the Augsburg station on 15 May 152013, the construction work was apparently just finished. Still, the spot is a bit hard – but if you go around and ask people you should manage.
This stop is located directly in front of a roundabout, and KFC where the [[A8 (Germany)|A8]] for direction west starts. There's enough place for cars to stop in front of the [[roundabout]]. Expect high traffic. Literally stuck my hand out here and got a ride within 30 seconds. There are so many cars here! For the petrol-station-lover, some meters before a small petrol station is located, so if you're bored, go asking people there. Make sure to carry a sign where you want to go as the motorway will split after 2 km towards different directions. It is really easy to get a lift from there.
== Sleeping ==
=== Airport "Frank-Josef-Strauss" ===
Maybe not the most comfortable place to sleep, but always open and not busy at night is the airport Franz-Josef-Strauss at A92 (from Regensburg). Hitchhiking away from there (late) in the evening is a pain, but if you end up there, you can count on a dry and warm night. There is no waiting hall (there are no flights at night) but enough restaurants where you can pick your bench and toilets are open anytimeany time.
=== Main Train Station ===
Located in the center and always open is the Munich main train station. If you get stuck in the city, this is probably a better solution than the airport which unfortunately is pretty far outside of Munich, but don't expect it to be more comfortable. There is no waiting hall and only a few benches on the platforms, but it is common to find some people resting on the first floor of the main entrance hall (right next to Burger King) and tolerated by the Deutsche Bahn security guards as long as you don't intend to crash there for more than a single night. If asked, just tell them you wait for a train that leaves early in the morning and they usually leave you alone. You can sneek sneak into the toilets of the two Burger King restaurants around (free, but closed from about 3:30am), or use the toilets of the main train station (50ct minimum). Another advantage over the airport is that it's quite easy to get back to any hitchhiking spot from here.
