I am a dude, and I<map lat='63.43270287961341' lng='ve found that Trondheim one of the worst places to hitch from10. Still, I have done it, even in the winter, all the way to Oslo in the South and Hammerfest436325073242188' zoom='11' view='0' float='right'/North Cape >'''Trondheim''' is a city in the extreme North. Sadly, I must say that one steadfast rule of hitchhiking has to be amended. Although I am a polyglot and love language, I must say that if you are not white, speak English to people[[Norway]]. Norwegians are extremely wary of foreigners and any nonwhite who speaks English It is assumed to be a refugeethe 3rd largest city in Norway.
Still== Hitchhiking out ===== Heading North ===To go north, a lot convenient place is Innherredsveien, around where it crosses Mellomveien. You can get there by crossing one of the bridges bridge east of white women tell me that truckers the train station, Bakke Bru (bridge) or Nidelv Bru. Inherredsveien becomes the E6.A good place is also the bus stop Dalens Hageby. There are very friendly much less busses coming, a better place for cars to stop and that the hitching there is less inner city traffic as it is great if you go out closer to the shipping areas around Dyre Halsels Gate and north of Stradveien. This has not worked for meE6.
They love foreign tourists, though, as long as Go to "Hell"! That's probably the most convenient place to hitchhike from out of Trondheim. Hell's a small town which you can reach with the local train (it costs about 78 kronars). Arriving in Hell you should take the mandatory Selfie with the station sign adding that you ended up in Hell and then leave the station westward (the direction you came from). There's a small tunnel leading to the other side of the rails. You continue along the small path towards west and reach some sort of parking lot after a while. There's a trampled down fence at the last lot where you keep telling them can climb over to the E6 - it's a small rest area that is perfect for hitching. Otherwise you love Norwaycould just walk around the bushes and trees - the other side of the motorway parking space is open. Cars are about 90 km/h fast - so that's a downside. Also the airport just a few miles further might be a problem. I waited one hour what I thought was pretty long for such an ideal place. I don't think that the bridges close to the train station are a good option at all - way to central.
One thing that makes hitching easy '''UPD and Tested in Norway July 2023''':To go north, an extremely convenient place is that almost all of the population lives near the E6 roada bus stop Skatval kirke 63.51290289598749, which extends from Itlay 10.859000312176718. To get there take a local train to almost all Skatval stasjon, this is the way north, so its pretty hard last station to get lost, as long as which you are headed use a single ticket (46 NOK) valid in transportation zone A. Then walk 2km towards Skatval Church. At that point the right waylocal traffic is filtered ouт and there is enough space to stop for a car.
North is spelled "NORD" and south is "SOR=== Heading South ===To go South," with a slash through you can intercept the "O," which gives it a short soundE6 at Heimdal, as opposed to near the unslashed "Otrain station," which is pronounced "oo," as in "bookby taking a train or city bus south."
To go north, Klet is maybe a convenient place is Inherredsveienbetter option. Right by the motorway, around where it crosses Mellomveien5min waiting time in the winter. You can get there by crossing one Bus 71 (not sure) runs couple of times a day from the bridges bridge east center of Trondheim and by the train stationstadium.Correction:Klett is great, they are making there now (spring 2018) new roads, Bakke Bur it´s two roundabouts with large shoulder for drivers to pull over right after the southern roundabout. Waiting in the dark after 10pm just a short while and got car driving to Oslo and further.Just that there are so very few buses nr.71. (bridgesomething like two per day) or Nidelv Bru. Inherredsveien becomes You can get to Heimdal station with nr. 9 from the E6center and than get ready for long walk.
To go southAlternatively, you can intercept follow the signs out of the city for the north, walking through industrial areas and then follow the signs past a roundabout for the south towards Oslo. There's a nice lay-by. Ask to be dropped off at Bratsbergveg or anywhere along the E6 at Heimdalout of the city. Don't try to walk further along this route as you just get to a tunnel which continues for more than a mile..really dangerous to breathe in all those fumes. Eick!Jass waited here for five minutes in August 2010 (after walking all the way to the tunnel and cursing..walking back and losing over an hour..).Also, near close to this spot is the train station'largest autonomous syndacalist anarcho community in Europe'..self proclaimed, by taking I suppose, but still quite large. You should be able to find a train or city bus southplace to sleep if you follow the road winding up north past the coffee factory. You'll see the graffiti on the right hand side. They're incredibly unorganized and not so helpful, but someone should have some space, somewhere..
It '''A PERFECT SPOT''' (April 2024): To go south, an convenient place is illegal a bus stop Lundamo 63.15150417644334, 10.279959584606285 in front of Lundamo train station. To get there take a local train to hitch on Lundamo stasjon, this is the Expressway last station to which you use a single ticket (46 NOK) valid in Norwaytransportation zone A. At that point you are well visible and right by the E6 motorway, but not illegal from rest stops or on rampscars go 50 km/h and there is a large shoulder for drivers to pull over. It This spot is perfect because all the town and very local Trondheim-traffic is legal to camp already filtered out almost anywhere if it is a good distance from a private house, but not permanently.
Hithing === Heading East, towards [[Sweden]] ===Take the bus to Stjördal, it is the bus line 12 or 301. Get off at Stjördal torg (Stjördal square) and walk to the Statiol petrol station that is on E14, the road going to Sweden. There is a lot of traffic between Trondheim and Sweden since there are a lot of people having houses in Sweden and that go there for cheaper shopping. When you're getting closer to [[Sweden]] your best bet is the people heading to the "cheap" Swedish supermarkets. There is a free bus going to Storliden but you have to book it in advance. You can [https://tbuss.no/gratis-handletur-til-sverige/ book it online] or by calling. An easy way to do book is to stop in the tourist information office and ask them to book it for you, which they'll gladly do! The bus stops right in Trondheim city center and runs a full 105km to Storlien. Also stops at Stjørdal at the Statoil petrol station mentioned for going North. Once at the shopping center, going further East is MUCH easier easy by hitching on the road the shopping center is on, [[User:Nomaditrev|Nomaditrev]] waited 5 minutes for a ride to Åre in December. The bus driver counts people coming and going to not leave people behind, so be kind and let the beautiful north (driver know when disembarking that you won't be getting back on the bus. === Sleeping outside ===== General remarks ==There is a law, allowing you to put up a tent anywhere on public land for two consecutive nights, provided you are at least in 150m from the nearest building and the Summerland is not cultivated (ie. someone's garden etc..)== Tenting ==You need to get out of the center a little bit, but here are some of the "tested" places within 1h walking distance from the city center- Lade - 63.447251, where 10.426642 - beautiful spot, easily accessible from Ladehammerveien.- Korsvika - a convenient camp spot with WC is 63.44960496283469, 10.43332211036948.
