== Hitching Out ==

* '''Rasthof Michendorf'''—Just 30 minutes by 'Regionalbahn' (train) south west of Berlin. This is the most direct option. You easily get hitches to the south, west as well as to the east (Poland). Take a train (e.g. RE3 to [[Dessau]], check [http://www.fahrinfo-berlin.de/Fahrinfo/bin/ fahrinfo-berlin.de] for route information.) from the center (2.80 EUR). Get off at train station ''Michendorf''. Leave the station at the left side (in direction of the train). Turn right into the Potsdamer Straße, at the bus stop, and walk for 20 minutes straight on it. To go west or south ([[Munich]], [[Hannover]], [[Magdeburg]]) turn right into the Feldstraße and follow it till you see the service station. Enter it via the green emergency door. If you want to go east towards [[Poland]] or [[Dresden]] turn right after the tunnel (it's a small sandy road through a wood). Follow the road until you are at the restaurant at the [[rest area]]. This is a long arena so walk around the restaurant area, car parks, and petrol pumps.

At Rasthof Stolper Heide (see Hamburg) you can also get a lift towards Rostock.

For hitchhiking to Hamburg prepare a cardboard sign with "HH" written on it, which is the number plate sign for cars from Hamburg and understood widely. "HRO" stands for Rostock by the way.

* Take a train to the S-Bahn station ''Schöneweide'', get out there and walk out of the station East, turn right on Michael-Brückner Strasse and after 300 meter you'll find two big [[service station]]s - although the [[Autobahn]] is far away-these are mostly the last possibilities for cars to get petrol - was once crowded with hitchhikers but is normally empty now and works fine! Locals usually stop at the second petrol station because it's cheaper normally. Also, behind this petrol station is a Burger King "Restaurant". If you choose your spot well, you can show a sign both to cars on the street who could stop at the Burger King entrance (but often drive too fast though) and to people leaving the second petrol station or entering Burger King.

'''WARNING''': If you are going further than Dresden (e.g. Czech Republic), take a look on the [[Dresden]] page.

* '''Rasthof Michendorf'''—Just 30 minutes by 'Regionalbahn' (train) south west of Berlin. You easily get hitches to the east (Poland). Take a train (e.g. RE3 to [[Dessau]], check [http://www.fahrinfo-berlin.de/Fahrinfo/bin/ fahrinfo-berlin.de] for route information.) from the center (2.60 EUR). Get off at train station ''Michendorf''. Leave the station at the left side (in direction of the train). Turn right into the Potsdamer Straße, after you pass the bus stop, and walk for 20 minutes. If you want to go east towards [[Poland]] turn right after the tunnel (it's a small sandy road through a wood). Follow the road until you are at the restaurant of the service station. This is a long arena so walk around the car parks and petrol pumps to meet potential drivers.

*Pankow District-Take a tram to Indira-Gandhi-Str. which can be caught at AlexanderPlatz. Then walk along the Berliner Allee just around the half circle of the road and find a decent place where cars can pull over. Many cars at this intersection have Polish License and are heading North East, some as far as Gdansk. Use a sign with the city 'Szczecin' and surely a Polish driver will stop, though be prepared to mix your languages and refer to cities by there Polish names. Check the map for the street view.
