'''Rostock''' is a city in the north-east of [[Germany]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== South towards [[Berlin]] ===
Take bus number 23 from the central station in Rostock. Go out at exit ''Brinckmansdorf''. There is be a Total petrol station 200 meters in the direction of travel. About 400 meters further is a big intersection, with a right turn leading to the A20 south. You have several good options: 1) Ask drivers at the gas station if they're going your way. 2) Go to the traffic light and turn left. There is [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=659 a space for cars to stop on the onramp]. 3) Hitch [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=10388 just before the gas station entrance], so cars wanting to stop just turn into it. There's a traffic light so the cars will be somewhat slow. Advices for signs: As ss there are many cars not going very far, write a sign with "Güstrow" and let them drop you off at the gas station right before the exit of Güstrow. There you can an easily find cars going to Berlin or even further.
=== West towards [[Hamburg]], East towards [[Szczecin]] ===
Take tram 2 or 5 to Südblick (the last stop). Walk in the direction of the tram out of the city. There is [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=10096 a good hitching spot at the bus stop] about 200 meters from the tram stop. Bring a sign that says 'A20 OSTost' or 'A20 WESTwest'.
You can also follow the directions above and try to hitch with people taking the A19 to the A20, but only accept rides from people taking the A20 because it is impossible to stop at the intersection.
=== North towards [[Scandinavia]] ===
You can get to the port by taking the Shuttlebus 40 from the main station or Kröpeliner Tor to “Rostock Fähre”. This Shuttlebus will cost EUR 2.50 more than a normal ticket.

====North towards [[SwedenDenmark]] and === The ferries leave every two hours, along with Bus 40. Just follow the signs for the ferry to [[FinlandGedser]]====You can . It´s probably best to ask the cars which are queueing at in front of the ticket booths to [[Trelleborg]] if , or before they will give you a ridebuy them at the ticket offices. PLEASE NOTE - Apparently Stena Line have recently changed Drivers pay for their car regardless of the amount of passengers, and they can add passengers to their policy ticket at the booths. The queues are much shorter in the winter so it is not possible it´s harder to speak to add passengers the drivers before they get to the ticket after it has been bookedbooths. If you´re going to Copenhagen you can also hitch to Sweden, Trelleborg, then across across through Malmo into Copehagen. HoweverThese ferries go less often and have longer queues for hitching, [[User:lemjok|Lemjok]] encountered but the journey takes several hours. If no problems when he explained what he was doing one picks you up, the passenger fee of EUR 7.50 is reasonable. As a pedestrian you have to catch the wardenspedestrian-passengers-bus 30min before departure, nor did he or his driver have to pay a higher feeso be there on time. On the 1hr 45min trip, you can ask other drivers if they are going in your direction. It's definitely possible really easy to add passengers get a ride to TT Lines (all this confirmed May 2013)Copenhagen.
If you don't find anyone to hitchhike with, the student fare with TT Line to Trelleborg is currently (27th March 2013) 16 € (but 32 € regular!), Stena charges 26 € for everyone. You need to be there 30 minutes before departure.
The ferries to [[Helsinki]] apparently charge based on the number of passengers, but maybe you can make a deal with a driver.
== Sleeping ==
The ticket sales place in the ferry port is open 24 hours and they let you sleep there. One can find a quiet corner to sleep in the train station too, but the police seem to always check your papers in the night. People piss a lot around the station but you can find clean spots too. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
