== West towards [[Frankfurt]], East towards [[Dresden]] {{Autobahn|4}} and South towards [[Würzburg]] {{Autobahn|71}} ==
Option 1: Take the tram number 4 in the direction 'Flughafen Erfurt' Bus 155 to Kranichfeld (Erfurt airportor Lichtenberg). Exit and get off at "Volkenroder Weg" and you'll see two petrol stationsHaarberg. Between them there The bus station is enough space for cars about 1km away from the ramp and next to stop if you stand on the roadside with a parking lot. Better bring a sign "A71"that points out your direction. Or hitch first eastwards to the gas station Eichelborn and change direction there.
Option 2: Take the Bus 155 to Kranichfeld tram number 4 in the direction 'Flughafen Erfurt' (or LichtenbergErfurt airport) . Exit at "Volkenroder Weg" and get off at Haarbergyou'll see two petrol stations. The bus station Between them there is about 1km away from enough space for cars to stop if you stand on the ramp and next to roadside with a parking lotsign "A71". Better bring a sign that points out your directionThe intersection with the A4 is not far.
Option 3: On B7, shortly before the interchange with A71 (Eisenacher Straße corner to Hersfelder Straße), there is a large IKEA you reach it by bus 80 (Friendstedt), 891 (Gotha Hauptbahnhof) or 894 (Bienstädt)) furniture market where it should be possible to find more than a handful of drivers that can bring you to any place in the region or the Autobahn A71.
Option 4: During rush hour (from 3pm to 5pm) a lot of cars are leaving Erfurt in direction [[Weimar]] or [[Jena]]. Go to '''Weimarsche Straße'''. There are two lanes and traffic lights and a bike path along the road. It does not have a border stone so cars can stop easily. Bring a sign "JENA" or "A4". People might take you along the Bundesstraße or to the gas station "Eichelborn" which is only several kilometers after entering the A4 eastwards.
Option 5: Take the regional train to Fröttstädt. From there it's a 30 minutes walk to the gas station [[Hörselgau Nord]]. Note that there is only a gas station in direction Frankfurt. Once you got off from the train turn right onto the main street (Fröttstädter Straße) and follow it about a kilometre to it's end. Turn left (Lauchaer Straße) and follow this street another kilometre (it becomes Kirchplatz, Falltorstraße and Siedlung on your way) and turn right. The gas station should already be visible at this point. == Only south towards Würzburg {{Autobahn|A7171}} ==
If you don't mind to take a train, take the regional one towards Ilmenau. Get off in Geraberg (40 minutes ride, ~5€, only once per hour) and follow "Bahnhofsstraße" in direction city center to it's end. Turn right on "Arnstädter Straße" and then the second left on "Talstraße". After passing the last house to your right, turn right and walk the field path approximatly ten minutes to the gas stations "Thüringer Wald Nord". On your way you'll cross beneath the Autobahn.
== West towards Gotha or Eisenach {{(Bundestraße|B7}} ) ==
Take tram number 2 from the city center to the commercial fairground and exhibition center [http://www.messe-erfurt.de/ Messe Erfurt] to the stop 'mdr/kinderkanal' or 'messe', walk over 'Gothaer Straße' to the 'Real' supermarket and ask drivers standing at the traffic light.
As most people tend to pass Erfurt on Autobahn A4 ask to be dropped of at "Urbicher Kreuz". It's a five minutes ride from the exit "Erfurt-Ost". There you can catch the tram number 3 which takes you to the city center.
