== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[Nürnberg]] {{Autobahn|9}} =======Option 1====Take the ''Subway 6'' to ''Studentenstadt''. From there walk about 300 m north on ''Ungererstraße'' until you are under a bridge. You will see signs for the motorways. This leads directly to the and [[A9 (Germany)|A9Passau]], a quick and easy route to [[BerlinVienna]] or [[Nürnberg]]. For i.e. [[Cologne{{Autobahn|Köln]] it is best to stop at the ''Rasthof Nürnberg/Feucht'' as the freeways converge here. To continue on [[A93 (Germany)|A93]], i.e. [[Regensburg]] and [[Dresden]] you can change the car at ''Rasthof Fürholzen'' some 30km north of Munich.:The roadworks mentioned by Sitarane are now finished. Although traffic wasn't heavy, I found this to be an excellent spot and got a ride out within ten minutes.:It is illegal for cars to stop here so when one does, it might be best to take it to the next Rasthof and continue from there if they aren't going far.92}} ===
'''Option 1'''
====Option 2====[[File:Hhnorth.jpg|right|thumb|334px200px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: North - option 21]][[File:201708 MUN Nordfriedhof dirN.jpg|thumb|334px200px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: North - option 2 1 in summer]][[File:201708 MUN Nordfriedhof look-east.jpg|thumb|334px200px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: North, option 1 in summer, looking west where cars come out of the tunnel]]
Take ''Subway 6'' to ''Nordfriedhof''. Take the north-west exit from the station (front-left if you go from the city centre). On your right you will see a two-lane road going out of a tunnel. This is the [https://goo.gl/maps/obkGF7RQtstNRbrJ6| spot]. You can get there crossing the bushes on it's its right side. Beware of the ants. The cars are fast there but can easily stop, because only one lane is open for cars, what which makes the second a perfect place to stop.:Option 2 seems to be a lot better than the above, for two reasons. First, there is a lot of space for cars to stop. Second, all cars on this road go straight for the highway. The spot is in the shade until midday (in summer at least).
''July 2015: Option 2 worked extremely well, getting us out of the city in less than an hour to Fürholzen raststation, which is a magnifique spot - we talked to three different people in a half an hour, ending up getting a ride all the way to Hamburg. Stand on the corner between the restaurant entrance and the car park and you'll get a chance to talk to most of the people around. Lots of cars from northern Germany, Netherlands and Denmark''
''End of August 2017, workday, 9am, middle amount of traffic, Sign "N", got taken after 40min.', few antsOption 2'''
====Option 3====Take the S1 Subway 6 to EchingStudentenstadt. Follow the road next to the station in the same direction of travel ( From there walk about 300 m north-east) as the train on Ungererstraße until you leave. Walk are under the autobahnbridge, once you are at first the crossing over the S Bahn take the bike path (it will turn a bit)bridge. You will go over another bridge see signs for the motorways. This leads directly to the A9 highway, a quick and then need easy route to head to FürholzenBerlin or Nürnberg. For i.e. Once in the town, walk through Cologne it until you take Günzenhauser Straße is best to your left. Follow stop at the road around to Rasthof Nürnberg/Feucht as the right freeways converge here. To continue on A93, i.e. Regensburg and Dresden you will see can change the Autobahn. Raststätte car at Rasthof Fürholzen is then in front some 30km north of youMunich. Be sure to study the map in advance and take note that it's a 5–6 km walk. The spot is great, but it is not that easy to reach it. [http://goo.gl/maps/8oQK Here's a map]
OR: Take the S1 to Eching. Pass under the railway to the side where the trains head back towards Munich City and walk the bike path along the railway in the direction you arrived by train until you reach the first bridge The disadvantage of this option is that goes over the railway (around 100m). Shortly before the bridge, turn left there is little room for cars to reach the road coming down from the bridge (Paul-Käsmeier-Straße). At this crossing (marked with B in [http://goo.gl/maps/AOYSz this map]) , you can hitchhike easily to the next town Günzenhausen stop and walk towards Fürholzen. This road will underpass the motorwayif there's traffic behind, few meters later you'll find a small road drivers likely hesitate to the petrol station "Fürholzen Ost" (marked as C in the same [http://goo.gl/maps/AOYSz map])stop.
''August 2016: 'Option 3 worked very well. If you are around the airport area, then Eching is only 4 S-bahn stops away (~15 mins by S1). The walk from Eching to Raststätte Fürholzen is about 1 hour, but it is possible to hitchhike on the way. At ''' Raststätte Fürholzen I only needed 20 mins or so to find a lift to nearby Würzburg (where I found another lift to eventually get me to Bremen). Many cars were going in the direction of the Netherlands, some going to the North. I hitched on a Sunday, so many cars were full already (with passengers and bags) as people return home from vacations. Still, the spot were full of cars and there were some with empty seats.''rest stop
Take the S1 to Eching. Follow the road next to the station in the same direction of travel (north-east) as the train you leave. Walk under the autobahn bridge, once you are at first the crossing over the S Bahn take the bike path, it will turn a bit. You will go over another bridge and then need to head to Fürholzen. Once in the town, walk through it until you take Günzenhauser Straße to your left. Follow the road around to the right and you will see the Autobahn. Raststätte Fürholzen is then in front of you. Be sure to study the map in advance and take note that it''April 2017s a 5–6 km walk. The spot is great.  Alternative way: Option 3 is not recommendedtake the S1 to Eching. Pass under the railway to the side where the trains head back towards Munich City and walk the bike path along the railway in the direction you arrived by train until you reach the first bridge that goes over the railway around 100 m. Shortly before the bridge, as service station turn left to reach the road coming down from the bridge Paul-Käsmeier-Straße. At this crossing you can hitchhike easily to the next town Günzenhausen and walk towards Fürholzen is currently . This road will pass under construction and closed for trafficthe motorway.A few meters later you''ll find a small road to the petrol station Fürholzen Ost
=== Southeast towards [[Salzburg]], [[Vienna]], [[Innsbruck]], [[Italy]] {{Autobahn|8}} ===
=== '''Option 1''' Ramersdorf bus stop === The [[A8 (Germany)|A8]] highway begins inside the town. A few hundred meters before the beginning, there is a bus stop called Ramersdorf, so enough place to stop. Take a subway to ''Karl-Preis-Platz'' or just walk from the town centre along ''Rosenheimer Straße''. Walk past both petrol stations on Rosenheimer Strasse and 10 minutes after the aral you will see a bus stop with a park next to it. If you arrive late after dark, the park is good to sleep in.This is far from an ideal spot, as it's very difficult to catch the attention of the drivers in this spot, and there is too much urban traffic and buses. If you do choose this spot, make sure you have a very visible sign. It's possible to put ''Rosenheim'' on a sign (and look for cars with the licence plate RO), which is the next city along the motorway. Close to [[Rosenheim]], there is a huge service area (''Irschenberg''), where you will surely get a ride to [[Austria]]
=== '''Option 2''' Rosenheimer Straße petrol stations ===The easiest way to get out towards [[Rosenheim]] is to get the U-bahn/S-bahn to Ostbahnhof. From there, turn left onto Orleansstraße. Keep walking until you get to Rosenheimer Straße. Take a left when you reach it. About 500m on the right-hand side is a Shell petrol station. There is also a bigger Aral petrol station another 300m further on the same road. This is probably the best option for getting a hitch. There are also a good couple of places for cars to pull in before and after this petrol station so if the through-flow is bad you can always try this.
July 2015: The Aral station easiest way to get out towards Rosenheim is an ok spotto get the U-bahn/S-bahn to Ostbahnhof. From there, but turn left onto Orleansstraße. Keep walking until you get out of there to one of Rosenheimer Straße. Take a left when you reach it. About 500 m on the right-hand side is a Shell petrol station. There is also a bigger Aral petrol station another 300 m further on the service areas (Holzkirchen, Irschenberg, Bergen) as there same road. This is probably the best option for getting a hitch. There are also a lot good couple of local trafficplaces for cars to pull in before and after this petrol station so if the through-flow is bad you can always try this.
=== Rosenheimer bus station ===
Walk straight after seeing bus station Rosenheimer Straße pass the street, pass the huge sign A92 and stay at the end of the fence and when any car stop just him to drop you at Rosenheim service station or if you want to go to Balkan make sure that you get out before A10 in Austria.
I went near the '''Option 3''' Rosenheimer bus station Rosenheimer Straße, and little bit further at the left, there is a petrol station, it s not a really good place as the road is turning at that place, but at least cars can stop, and it seems to me as the best place there.
=== Raststätte Holzkirchen ===The busy Holzkirchen petrol Walk straight after seeing bus station on Rosenheimer Straße pass the autobahn is one of street, pass the last opportunities to buy the windsheild sticker required for huge sign A92 and stay at the Austrian autobahn so this spot has a lot end of traffic. Getting there takes over an hour (30 minutes on the train fence and a 3.5km walk - when any car stop just him to drop you at Rosenheim service station or if the weather is good the walk is nice though) but it's easy you want to go to find a lift once Balkan make sure that you're there. Take the S3 (direction Holzkirchen) and get out before A10 in Austria. Little bit further at Otterfing. Walk in the same direction your train was going for 200 meters then turn left over the bridge (''Bridge currently under construction - August 2014''). Follow this road (Kreuzstrasse) for 2.5km through fields and , there is a forest until you reach the Autobahn. Turn right just before the road goes under the autobahn. Follow this road past the solar panels until the entrance of another tunnel under the autobahn, from here you should be able to see the petrol station ahead. Cut through , it s not a really good place as the field to reach it (you don't need to jump any fencesroad is turning at that place, to enter walk around the fencebut at least cars can stop, and it seems to exit use me as the gap where the fence changes design)best place there.
=== Autobahn 92 ===Consider getting '''Option 4''' Raststätte Holzkirchen  30 min on S3 train till Holzkitchen than walk to Foching town find a Schmiedstrase turn left walk till concrete rouds end / cross. Petrol station is on the {{Autobahn|92}} to [[Passau]]right. Around 5 km walk  Alternative way: 30 min on S3 train till Otterfing. Most of Walk in the same direction your train was going for 200 meters then turn left over the international traffic bridge. Follow this road (trucksKreuzstrasse) are going East by Passau while for 2.5 km through fields and a lot forest until you reach the Autobahn. Turn right just before the road goes under the autobahn. Follow this road past the solar panels until the entrance of another tunnel under the traffic passing by [[Salzburg]] is going autobahn, from here you should be able to [[Trieste]], [[Italy]].[[User:bikepunk| Bikepunk]] Got stuck 14 hours at a huge [[Petrol see the petrol station hitchhiking|Petrol station]] around [[Salzburg]] trying to get a ride to [[Vienna]]ahead.If somebody found a good place Cut through the field to hitchhike this direction, please edit. Ireach it (you don've tried this place http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=1292 t need to jump any fences, but had to give upenter walk around the fence, as everyone just went northto exit use the gap where the fence changes design).Around 5 km walk
=== South towards [[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]] {{Autobahn|95}} ===
 '''Option1Option 1''': 
A really good spot to hitchkike in this direction is the petrol station near Machtlfinger Straße. Take the U3 direction Fürstenried West to Machtlfinger Straße. Get out of the station on the side towards Machtlfinger Straße where there are the escalators. Turn right on Machtlfinger straße and then left on Boschetsriederstraße. Follow it for a few hundred meters and you will see the petrol station on the right side. You can also take the bus 51 direction Moosach to Drygalski-Allee, the petrol station is 20meters behind it. A 95 is not the only direction from this station but many people will go there. The toilet is for free and even gendered.
'''Option 2''': You can also start your hitchhike is on Fürstenrieder Straße. There is a bus stop 200 metres after the crossways Würmtalstraße-Fürstenriederstraße. Cars can easily stop there. Use a sign (A 95, or Garmisch).In the evenings you can try to get a lift at the traffic light at the crossways. Both spots are not really good but okay.
=== Southwest towards [[Landsberg]], [[Memmingen]], [[Lindau]], [[Switzerland]], [[Austria]] (Vorarlberg), [[Italy]] {{Autobahn|96}} ===
'''Option 1''':The A96 begins inside of Munich. Close to the First service station on-ramps of the motorway there A96 is a petrol station (Aralthe Rasthof Lechwiesen close to Landsberg, on Garmischer Straße) that is frequented by many people before they you can change cars here to go onto the motorway. It's pretty big and the traffic flow is good there. I got a lift to Konstanz within 20 minutes of waiting therefurther.
It has not failed me yetIf you want to travel to any city on the Lake Constance (Bodensee), got rides within 10 look out for Swiss and Austrian cars as they all have to pass Lindau where they can come off the highway to drop you off and get back on it again easily - and this only takes them 2 minutes several timesout of their way. --[[User:Cha|Cha]] Ask to be dropped off at the last exit ([[User talk:Cha|talk]]) 00:54Exit 2, 11 March 2015 (CETLindau)From Heimeranplatz easily reachable by feet or by bus line 63before the border to Austria, there is a roundabout close to a petrol station and McD that works well in any direction Forstenrieder Allee. Exit at stop Garmischer strasse and walk for few minutes..
'''Option 1''' The A96 begins inside of Munich. Close to the on-ramps of the motorway there is a petrol station Aral on Garmischer Straße that is frequented by many people before they go onto the motorway. From Heimeranplatz bus line 63, direction Forstenrieder Allee. Exit at stop Garmischer strasse and walk for few minutes..  '''Option 2''': Take the S-Bahn number 8 (S8) to Neugilching, and walk on the main road 'Landsberger Straße' in the same direction where the train is going, in 800 meter you will see a petrol station to your right and Make Death (MC), there you can ask people for a lift for your direction or just for the petrol station in Landsberg, where are more cars stopping.
Also you can hitch from the ramp to the direction of Lindau, I waited there few minutes.
 
'''Tips:'''
1 - First service station on the A96 is the "Rasthof Lechwiesen" close to Landsberg, you can change cars here to go further.
2 - If you want to travel to any city on the Lake Constance (Bodensee), look out for Swiss and Austrian cars as they all have to pass [[Lindau]] where they can come off the highway to drop you off and get back on it again easily - and this only takes them 2 minutes out of their way. Ask to be dropped off at the last exit (Exit 2, Lindau) before the border to Austria, there is a roundabout close to a petrol station and McD that works well in any direction.
=== West towards [[Augsburg]], [[Ulm]], [[Stuttgart]] {{Autobahn|8}} {{European Route Number|52}} ===
From the central railway station (''Hauptbahnhof''), take tram S2 towards ''Petershausen''. Get out at ''Obermenzing''. There along the street you can either walk the 2-3 km towards the motorway, or take bus #143 4 stops to ''Blutenburg''stop. (Can't recall final destination/name of direction)
The bus #143 stop is across the road from the S2 exit. If the bus is not leaving for a while, you can easily hitchhike at the traffic lights nearby. I would advise putting 'Augsburg' on the sign. There is a service station, Rasthof Augsburg, just before this town. Apparently the spot is a bit hard – but its quite a big station -but if you go around and ask people you should manage.
This stop is located directly in front of a roundabout, and KFC where the [[A8 (Germany)|A8]] highway for direction west starts. There's enough place for cars to stop in front of the [[roundabout]]. Expect high traffic. Literally stuck my hand out here and got a ride within 30 seconds. There are so many cars here! For the petrol-station-lover, some meters before a small petrol station is located, so if you're bored, go asking people there. Make sure to carry a sign where you want to go as the motorway will split after 2 km towards different directions. It is really easy to get a lift from there.(Edit - Jan 2017, I got off at blutenberg as suggested, but couldn't find a roundabout, I ended up hitching at 'blutenburg` bus stop which is next to a small petrol station, got picked up in 5 minutes)
This is also a great way to get to Frankfurt as you can hitch to Ulm, north to Würzburg and then west to Frankfurt.
[[File:Vaterstetten.jpeg|right|thumb|334px|Rasthof Vaterstetten Ost seems like a pretty popular spot.]]
The '''A 99''' A99 is the Munich ring road (http://www.autobahnatlas-online.de/A99.htm). While not as accurate as other south south/north bound jumping off points, the service station ''Rasthof Vaterstetten Ost'' is a good point if seeking to get lifts from long-distance lorry drivers, many of whom stay overnight here. This service station is located at the A99 in Feldkirchen. It is located only 2 km from the S-Bahn station Vaterstetten and requires walking through the small village to the back of the service station. 1,000 [[hitchhiking a truck|trucks]] or more park here here every night with many more passing through, heading north and south. While I would not like to sleep here (with a 1,000 plus lonely men), its a excellent place when heading both north and south. Make sure to carry a sign indicating what motorway who are hoping to take. For example, the A8 to the the South and East or the A94 to Passau.If you come at night or sunday (or any other time, if you're a daredevil), then you could check out the container of a bio supermarket which is on the way. Livediverse found in August 2016 there a lot of vegetables, fruits and bread. And also he had to give up catching a ride to Passau, as nobody was going this direction.
== Sleeping & Eating ==
=== Airport "Franz-Josef-Strauss" ===
Maybe not the most comfortable place to sleep, but always open and not busy at night is the airport Franz-Josef-Strauss at A92 (from Regensburg). Hitchhiking away from there (late) in the evening is a pain, but if you end up there, you can count on a dry and warm night. There is no waiting hall (there are no flights at night) but enough restaurants where you can pick your bench and toilets are open any time.
=== Main Train Station ===
=== Studentenstadt ===
If you want to meet loads of students and really cheap drinks - rare in Munich - come to Studentenstadt (Subway U6 north of the city centre). It's the largest student accomodation in Munich. You might find somebody to host you - without any guarantee. # There is a perfect place for camping, about 5 mins from Studentenstadt station - in the English Gardens.Just ask about the gardens and you will make it.Try to pitch your tent at night time, after all you are in Bavaria.
=== Stattpark OLGA Olga ===
It's a wagenburg (place where people live in their campervans). Usually they are open for travellers and they have guest van for sleeping, but come to this place not so late and firstly meet with a people. They also have a lot of place where you can put a tent. You can find there freeshop with books and clothes. The collective of this place organise some meetings, shows, etc. [http://olga089.blogsport.de/ "Stattpark OLGA", Boschetsrieder Straße 109]
=== Kafe Marat ===
If you arrive on Friday you can get really good, cheap and vegan dinner in the [http://kafemarat.blogsport.de/englisch "Kafe Marat", Thalkirchener Straße 102] (maybe also on wednesdays?). It's a self-organized, more left wing place. Drinks are also really cheap there. Food normally is ready at around 20:30. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
