According to [[:wikivoyage:Denmark#By_thumb|Wikivoyage]] hitchhiking is legal in Denmark except on motorways. Most drivers speak English, but especially in the western and southern part people are more eager to speak German. If your German isn't good enough, English will help here too. Most drivers are very friendly and hospitable.
There was a hitchhiking project done in 2006 called ''The Search for Danish Mentality'', and in 2007 there was a follow-up called [[The Search for the Commons]].
Please note that due to the current (2015/16) discussions and changes in policies concerning asylum seekers and refugees you have to expect ID checks while entering the country, especially from the south. Furthermore you could experiencing problems in any cross-border hitching, especially while travelling north (e.g. from Denmark to Sweden).
When hitching on [[slip roads]] to the motorway, people rather stop if you are at the bottom of the slip road than at the top of it. Most [[on-ramp|ramps]] in Denmark have enough space for cars to stop.
