Corrected information about ferry to Rødby
[[File:Puttgarden ferry waiting lines.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Cars and drivers waiting to get on to the ferry, great for finding a ride to [[Copenhagen]] or even far up north into [[Scandinavia]]]]
Usually hitchhikers can get over for free because every vehicle can take 9 passengers with it, so there might be place for you anywhere. If you are searching for a lift you should tell people about this possibility – otherwise they might not take you with them just because they think it's too complicated or they'll have to pay. The employees at the entrance said it's not allowed to hitchhike on their facilities, but [[User:Swaden|Swaden]] ([[User talk:Swaden|talk]]) did it anyway and no one bat an eye. If they don't let you, you can always hitchhike with a sign during the day but then it might be more complicated to explain the free thing. If you hitchhike at night, there will be less cars so don't hesitate to directly stop them and explain that you're out of their live as soon as you board into the ferry!
You can probably easily find a ride to [[Copenhagen]] or [[Malmö]] in [[Sweden]]. Also, the The ferry passage for foot passengers is expensive and the price is the same even at night (around 20 EUR for free after 9PM! Rødby). You can also ask rides to people on the ferry.
=== South towards [[Lübeck]], [[Hamburg]] ===If you're coming from , [[DenmarkBerlin]], you can try to find a car on the ferry that might bring you somewhere on the motorway. Ask everyone you can on the boat (first ask if they're driving) and if you're not lucky, one option is to stay on the boat to go to Denmark and then back, and try again. Nobody will ask you anything, this hitchhiker tried it for a few back-and-forths. If still not lucky, you will probably try to hitch a ride where all the cars are leaving the ferry. It's always a lot of cars at once when a ferry arrives and then nothing for the next 30 minutes. There is also a petrol station 1–2 km away, where you might be lucky, too.===
=== At night and/or if you're stranded: ===
It is difficult that someone will stop for you at night after they leave the ferry (especially as it's a crazy rush and probably in this case people who would otherwise stop, in this case won't). At night your best chance to get some sympathy and maybe a ride is to ignore the no-pedestrians sign at the exit side, and go try to talk to some truckers who might be there (if their blinds aren't closed). Some may be resting for one hour, others will stay the night. If they're staying the night you will have to find a place to rest. But read right next.
Also, if you'd like to take the train for free and you don't feel guilty about it: at around 5.00 in the morning the first train leaves. With information from another person this hitchhiker took a chance and rode without a ticket, to Lübeck. And then in Lübeck this hitchhiker took the train to Hamburg. Verdict: as said by the "informant", there are no ticket checks in the first hours of the morning. Plus, if you're not a national, you can just ask for the invoice to go to your home and ignore it.
