== 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'''
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).
''End of August 2017, workday, 9am, middle amount of traffic, Sign "N", got taken after 40min.', few antsOption 2'''
''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}} ===
=== 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 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.
=== 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}}
