'''Varkaus''' is a city in [[Finland]].
==Hitching in==
'''The highway number 5''' goes right through '''Varkaus''' and since it's a pretty small town, all the hh-spots are easy to reach. If you're coming from '''north-east''' (road #23) and being dropped off at the eastern part of the town, you might have to walk a couple of kilometers through the town to reach either the other end of the road #23 or the highway number 5. Just follow the street called Taipaleentie or the "Mikkeli/Jyväskylä/Kuopio"-signs. And the other way round: coming from south/west/north heading to east and being dropped off by the highway #5, walk through the city following the "Joensuu"-signs to reach the road #23.
I think walking that couple of kilometers is worth of it, otherwise you might end up waiting for a ride for some while just to be dropped off a few kilometers later!
==Hitching Hitchhiking out=====All directions===There are 2 gas service stations , (both open 24h, restaurant, free toilets, moderate priced grocery store) in the crossing of highway #5 and #23, where you can ask the drivers. These are pretty good places to ask rides to '''all directions'''. You can also try hitchiking hitchhiking '''on the -ramps'''.
===Heading West===If you're going west towards [[Jyväskylä]] and [[Tampere]], you could also try hitchhiking in a bus stop next to the smaller gas petrol station.
===Heading East/North-East===When you're on the street Taipaleentie (see "Hitching in" above), walk past the sawmill and you can start hitchiking hitchhiking on the roadside right after the first crossing to right (there might even be a bus stop if I remember right?). {{Cities Finland}}__NOTOC__{{hitchbase_city|196}}
