You can == Hitchhiking out ==  === North towards [[Aalborg]], [[Frederikshavn]] === Take the 14 bus from Århus city center towards Sabro and get very good maps of Aarhus for free off at Tilst Vestervej/Frømosevej. Walk to the tourist informationcrossroads next to Netto and turn right. There is a lane where cars can easily pull over, it this is a great place to stand with a sign saying Aalborg. There is a traffic sign there which forbids pedestrians from walking along Viborgvej any further. This is inside the library Dokk1 located at closest point on Viborgvej to the harbourE45 highway onramp where you can safely hitchhike. Coordinates of this spot: 56°11'13.1"N 10°05'15.6"E === North West towards [[Viborg]], 700 m[[Thisted]] and North West Jutland === One option is the same spot as described towards Aalborg and Fredrikshavn. from  Another option is the bus stop Viborgvej/Hasle Ringvej on the second ring road in sight of the train stationwater tower.
