East towards Frankfurt (Oder), Poland {{Autobahn|10}} {{E|30}}: Added walking directions to Raststätte Seeberg West
''Once you get a ride in Germany direction to Poland you can hitchike before or after places where people pay for higway (polish name bramki). One side will have a parking place and its free to hitchike there.''
==== Test optionOption 1: Raststätte Seeberg West====
Take a S-bahn line S5 till Neuenhagen station from there walk Haupstrase till Carl-schmäcke Strasse turn [[File:Hitch_ber pl seeberg west.png|200px|thumb|right and |How to walk until Highway 10 and before it turn left and walk 500 metres from Hönow station to fuel station/parking Raststätte Seeberg West (total walking is ~3 km). Look for PL nummber plates. Highway 10 from there joins Highway 12 to Poland after 20 km. Please add a good walking path to place. ]]
[[File:Bhh10The cheapest, though probably not fastest option to reach ''Raststätte Seeberg West'', is to take subway line U5 to its eastern terminus ''Hönow'' (Berlin AB/BC ticket, €2.80). Once out of the station, cross ''Mahlsdorfer Straße'' (the road right in front of the station), turn left, and then turn right into the first road that branches off, called ''Am Barschsee/Am Weiher''. Follow ''Am Weiher'' and keep heading straight; the road continues as ''Am Grünzug'' after crossing ''Hoppegartener Straße'' and eventually as ''Wernergraben''. Once you can see the REWE supermarket, turn right into ''Stöbberstraße'' and follow it until its very end (it becomes ''An der alten Gärtnerei'' past the kindergarten).jpg|thumb|alt=E30 Turn left into ''Bamberger Straße'' and walk until the main road ''[[E30]]Neuenhagener Chaussee''.]]
Carefully cross ''Neuenhagener Chaussee'' – it’s a busy road with cars going pretty fast – and start walking on the dirt road straight ahead. At some point the road turns right and you have to enter the forested area; the road crosses a stream called ''Zochegraben'' here. The road will now continue to the left whereas on the right you’ll see a small path. Turn left and keep following the dirt road. A few minutes later, after walking besides a field (on your right), there will be two paths to a small natural pool (which, depending on the time of the year, might not have any water in it; you’ll recognise the place though, having some wooden installations as well as a small “sand beach”. There, you’ll also see a wire fence that follows the direction of the pool if you were to look at it from the dirt road. Walk past the pool on the right hand side – there’s something like a path for a few metres – until you encounter high grass or the overgrown area respectively. From here, the easiest way to continue is to look where the least shrub is and head towards the wire fence. Chances are you’ll be doing some bush-bashing (again dependent on season), so don’t wear your fanciest clothes. Once besides the wire fence, the grass is not too high and walking becomes easier; keep following the fence, which will make a 90° right turn soon, when a huge field opens in front of you. From there, you’ll already see a big power line. Your destination is a wooden gate near the power pole on the field. Walk along its edge or simply across the field if conditions are favourable, no farmer is around and you’re wearing boots or something similar. Approximately 20 to 30 metres before the power pole, you’ll see the open gate (with nothing but an overgrown area behind it) on the edge of the field. Enter the gate and immediately turn right; walk about ten metres, then turn slightly left (approx. 45°) and keep walking. The shrub is pretty dense in places so again it’s some bush bashing, but a few metres further you’ll already encounter the fence of the ''Raststätte''. If you followed these directions, chances are you’ll already see the gate in the fence to enter the rest area. When [[User:Raureif|Raureif]] arrived here in October 2019, there was no padlock on the gate so it could simply be opened from either side of the fence. Altogether, the walk is a little bit over 5 km and should take 90 minutes at the most. To skip walking the suburban part in the beginning, you can also take bus #943 (direction: ''S Hoppegarten'') from ''Hönow'' station and get off at ''Thälmannstr.'', with this bus stop being very close to where the dirt road is starting at ''Neuenhagener Chaussee''. However, the bus only runs once per hour during weekdays and will require a Berlin ABC ticket for €3.40 (assuming you start your journey from within Berlin’s circle line/the city centre). At the ''Raststätte'', trucks heading for Poland abound, as well as a fair number of private cars with Polish number plates. ==== Option 12: Raststätte Michendorf ====
# Take a regional train (e.g. RE7 direction Dessau, check fahrinfo-berlin.de for route information) from the centre and get off at Michendorf (zones ABC, EUR 3.30). Leave the station at the left side (in direction of the train). Turn right into the Potsdamer Straße and walk south ≈1.7 km on Potsdamer Straße until it ends (it bends right and is called An der Autobahn then). Keep walking straight ahead on a footpath and cross the tunnel under the Autobahn A10. After the tunnel, turn right on a sandy path through the forest. Follow the track until you are at the Mcdonalds at the [[rest area]]. The petrol station is after the restaurant and seems to be better for getting rides.
# Take bus 643 from ''Potsdam Hbf'', direction Busendorf, and get off at ''Michendorf, Bergheide''. Walk back 40 m in the direction the bus came from to the junction. There will be a small road going to the left, through the forest. Follow this road for ≈1 km to the Mcdonalds/Raststätte.
'''Warning Autumn 2019: There is a major motorway reconstruction there (the same project affecting "Raststätte am Fichtenplan") which is expected to be finished in mid-2020 only. During this time, there are comparatively few cars using the Raststätte and long traffic jams. Choosing alternative routes is recommended.'''
==== Option 23: Raststätte Am Fichtenplan ====
[[File:Berlinout.jpg|thumb|alt=E30 ''[[E30]]''.]]
Take S-bahn S2 to the end station ''Blankenfelde''. From there, take any regional train one stop to Dahlewitz. Turn right from the station and walk southeast ≈4 km along Bahnhofstrasse/L40 until you cross over the Autobahn A10/E30 bridge. Head down to the Autobahn and walk 1 km east to the big Aral petrol station. Walking on the Autobahn is illegal, so if you want to avoid the risk of getting caught, continue walking straight on the L40 after crossing the bridge for 1.6 km. There will be a small road on the left heading to the Autobahn. Walk north 850 m along this road until the start of the bridge over the Autobahn. Climb down to the field and walk east 300 m, parallel with the Autobahn, until you reach the Raststätte. (There is a fence to with holes in it before/next to Raststätte). See the map on the right.
There are a lot of cars and trucks. Altogether you need to walk 5 to 6 km, but the place is very good! You won't have to wait too long to hitch a ride almost anywhere in Eastern Europe.
