Changes

A word about getting into Berlin since the ring is so big and maby maybe you are on a ride thats that's only passing by.

The best is to stop get off at ''Rasthof Michendorf'' (after all the ring interchanges). There is a bridge over the Autobahn nearby so if you are coming from [[Poland]] you can jump over and easily find someone going into the city. Alternatively, when coming from the east about 2 km before the interchange "Berlin Zentrum" (it's really is not a good idea to get off at interchanges on the autobahn), there is an exit for ''Königs Wusterhausen''. There will be alot a lot of commercial shopping buildings you will see just before you need to exit and as you are exiting will see the McDonalds. Then, if you can't find a ride going into berlin Berlin (which could be rare actually) walk about 1 km into the nearest town. There is a bus going to berlin Berlin for 1 EUR.

* The hitchhiking-spot in Henningsdorf (on the map as well): Rasthof Stolper Heide is the best option to reach [[Hamburg]], [[Rostock]] or [[Scandinavia]]. You are going to have to go on a 2 km walk in total (part of which involves gorgeous forests...). S-bahn Bahn station ''Heiligensee '' (S25 towards Henningsdorf, 2.10 € ticket), walk down Ruppiner Chaussee northwards about 200 meters and turn right on an asphalt walking path (There's a sign saying "Berliner MaurwegMauerweg" or smthngsomething). Follow the path for 10-15 minutes. Cross the bridge over the motorway and you will see a short railing on the your left. You can easily jump over and then walk down the little hill to the motorway. Walk along the way for about 600/700m, if you walk on the path in the woods you will be on the wrong side of a tall green fence and have to go back. The large petrol station is there. You can easily get a direct ride to [[Hamburg]] from here.

* A very closeby close-by spot that saves you the 2 km walk: Get off at the one station just before: earlier, ''Schulzendorf '' (S25 towards Henningsdorf, 2.10€ ticket). Get out from the front of the train, and out of the station, follow Ruppinerstrasse Ruppiner Chaussee north, and take the first right (SchulzendorferstrasseSchulzendorfer Straße). And there you are, on the motorway access ramp, 5 min walk from the station.

* Another good spot to hitchhike to Hamburg or Rostock is on Prenzlauer Promenade. Take the S-Bahn to "''Pankow-Heinersdorf"'', walk up the stairs/elevator up to the highway and walk south for about 500m. Wait opposite of the McDonald for a lift. Sometimes you will meet other hitchhikers here,too. If someone offers a lift "only" to a gas station on the highway ("Linumer Bruch" for instance) take it, since from a highway gas station it is very easy to get another lift.  From the "Rostock" spot ''S Pankow-Heinersdorf'' you also have a chance to get a ride to Hamburg.

*Pankow District-Take a tram to Indira-Gandhi-Str. which can be caught at AlexanderPlatzAlexanderplatz. 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.
