In '''Potsdam you can find ''' is the capital of the first official hitchhiking spot in Germany''federal state'' [[Brandenburg]]. It is located near 20 kilometers southwest of [[Berlin]].  == Hitchhiking out == === West {{Ade|2}}, [[Hannover]], [[Dortmund]] === Try the main recommendations for [[Berlin]] and take a train there. It is cheap enough and absolutely worth it. A good place should be the Raststätte Grunewald. Raststätte Michendorf is not advisable for going West. === East {{Ade|12}}, [[Frankfurt an der Oder]], [[Poland]] or Southeast {{Ade|13}}, [[Cottbus]], [[Dresden]], [[Prague]] or South {{Ade|9}}, [[Leipzig]], [[München]], [[Frankfurt am Main]] =======Michendorf====From the railway stationgo along the street ''Brauhausberg'' for 400 mat the end of the parking lane is the spot which leads to Michendorf, where the service stations [[Michendorf Nord]] and [[Michendorf Süd]] are situated. If you arrive with the suburban train, you can take the buses 608, 643 or N43 until stop ''Michendorf, Abzweig Wildenbruch'', you follow the old main street for 50 meters and then go right into ''Feldstraße'', after 600 m you see on your left side a green wall, which has a door in it, that is the road of way to [[Michendorf Nord]]. Some buses end in Michendorf-West, then you have to leave the bus at Saarmunder Straße'' The path to [[Michendorf Süd]] is at the B2behind the motorway, by bus you reach there with buses 643 or N43 until '' which leads you Michendorf, Bergheide''. An alternative to reach Michendorf is to take DB regional train RE7 or OE33 and get off at Michendorf Station. The walk from the station takes around 20 minutes. There are three supermarkets on the way to the [[Autobahn]]. ====Rastplatz am Stern (Parforceheide)====Even though this is only a rest area and not a proper service station , you can catch quite a few rides here. While most of them are going to Potsdam, you can find many drivers taking a short stop before going South or West. Because it is so close to the city, it is worth trying here first and if it fails, catching a ride to Michendorfwhich should not be too hard. There is a gas station on the way, where you can also approach drivers, or thumb at the exit of the city to get to an on-ramp of the L40 in Stahnsdorf. === North {{Ade|24}}, [[Hamburg]], [[Copenhagen]] or [[Rostock]] ===

To Take the suburban train (S-Bahn) S8/S4/S85 to the stop 'Pankow-Heinersdorf' close to 'Prenzlauer Promenade' on B109. From the traffic light close to the Autobahn on-ramp (still on B109) it normally only takes minutes until you can find some good information hitchhing out of Potsdam, you might have a look driver. A 114 leads close after Berlin on 'Berliner Ring' (A 10) which leads after ten minutes to the [[Autobahn Berlin-Hamburg/Berlin-Rostock. The way here can take one hour from Potsdam as Pankow is in the north of Berlin]] article.
