'''Option 3''': Take the S1 to Eching. Follow the road next to the station in the same direction of travel (north-east) as the train you leave. Walk under the autobahnbridge, once you are at first the crossing over the S Bahn take the bike path (it will turn a bit). You will go over another bridge and then need to head to Fürholzen. Once in the town, walk through it until you take Günzenhauser Straße to your left. Follow the road around to the right and you will see the Autobahn. Raststätte Fürholzen is then in front of you. Be sure to study the map in advance and take note that it's a 5–6 km walk. The spot is great, but it is not that easy to reach it. [http://goo.gl/maps/8oQK Here's a map]
OR: Take the S1 to Eching. Pass under the railway to the side where the trains head back towards Munich City and walk the bike path along the railway in the direction you arrived by train until you reach the first bridge that goes over the railway (around 100m). Shortly before the bridge, turn left to reach the road coming down from the bridge (Paul-Käsmeier-Straße). At this crossing (marked with B in [http://goo.gl/maps/AOYSz this map]) , you can hitchhike easily to the next town Günzenhausen and walk towards Fürholzen. This road will underpass the motorway, few meters later you'll find a small road to the gas petrol station "Fürholzen Ost" (marked as C in the same [http://goo.gl/maps/AOYSz map]).
=== Southeast towards [[Salzburg]], [[Vienna]], [[Innsbruck]], [[Italy]] {{Autobahn|8}} ===
=== Ramersdorf bus stop ===
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 centre along ''Rosenheimer Straße''. Walk past both gas petrol stations on Rosenheimer Strasse and 10 minutes after the aral you will see a bus stop with a park next to it. If you arrive late after dark, the park is good to sleep in.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. It's possible to put ''Rosenheim'' on a sign (and look for cars with the licence plate RO), 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]].
=== Rosenheimer Straße gas petrol stations ===The easiest way to get out towards [[Rosenheim]] is to get the U-bahn/S-bahn to Ostbahnhof. From there, turn left onto Orleansstraße. Keep walking until you get to Rosenheimer Straße. Take a left when you reach it. About 500m on the right-hand side is a Shell gas petrol station. There is also a bigger Aral gas petrol 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 petrol station so if the through-flow is bad you can always try this.
July 2015: The Aral station is an ok spot, but get out of there to one of the service areas (Holzkirchen, Irschenberg, Bergen) as there is a lot of local traffic.
I went near the bus station 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.
=== Raststätte Holzkirchen gas station ===The busy Holzkirchen gas petrol station on the autobahn is one of the last opportunities to buy the windsheild sticker required for the Austrian autobahn so this spot has a lot of traffic. Getting there takes over an hour (30 minutes on the train and a 3.5km walk - if the weather is good the walk is nice though) but it's easy to find a lift once you're there. Take the S3 (direction Holzkirchen) and get out at Otterfing. Walk in the same direction your train was going for 200 meters then turn left over the bridge (''Bridge currently under construction - August 2014''). Follow this road (Kreuzstrasse) for 2.5km through fields and a forest until you reach the Autobahn. Turn right just before the road goes under the autobahn. Follow this road past the solar panels until the entrance of another tunnel under the autobahn, from here you should be able to see the gas petrol station ahead. Cut through the field to reach it (you don't need to jump any fences, to enter walk around the fence, to exit use the gap where the fence changes design).
=== Autobahn 92 ===
'''Option 1''':
The A96 begins inside of Munich. Close to the on-ramps of the motorway there is a petrol station (Aral, on Garmischer Straße) that is frequented by many people before they go onto the motorway. It's pretty big and the traffic flow is good there. I got a lift to Konstanz within 20 minutes of waiting there.
From Heimeranplatz easily reachable by feet or by bus line 63, direction Forstenrieder Allee. Exit at stop Garmischer strasse and walk for few minutes..
'''Option 2''':
Take the S-Bahn number 8 (S8) to Neugilching, and walk on the main road 'Landsberger Straße' in the same direction where the train is going, in 800 meter you will see a petrol station to your right and Make Death (MC), there you can ask people for a lift for your direction or just for the gas petrol station in Landsberg, where are more cars stopping.
Also you can hitch from the ramp to the direction of Lindau, I waited there few minutes.
'''Tips:'''
1 - First service station on the A96 is the "Rasthof Lechwiesen" close to Landsberg, you can change cars here to go further.
2 - If you want to travel to any city on the Lake Constance (Bodensee), look out for Swiss and Austrian cars as they all have to pass [[Lindau]] where they can come off the highway to drop you off and get back on it again easily - and this only takes them 2 minutes out of their way. Ask to be dropped off at the last exit (Exit 2, Lindau) before the border to Austria, there is a roundabout close to a gas petrol station and McD that works well in any direction.
