'''Germany''' is a great country for hitchhiking. Just make sure you get on the ''Autobahn'' (motorway)! There it is best to get to a ''Raststätte'' (service area) where drivers can legally stop and get from one to another. You will often find maps with the motorways and the service areas along them.
In Germany there are no speed limits on many highways. So you might first want to try to get a ride with fast cars before asking truck drivers! Trucks are great during nighttime, but like in [[France]], there are restrictions to when they might drive. In Germany, most trucks aren't allowed to drive on weekends from Saturday 10 PM to Sunday 10 PM sundays or on public holidaysuntil 22:00.

==Eat==
Try to avoid eating on service stations on the motorways. They are very expensive (you even have to pay for the toilets) and the food is usually very bad.
At some service stations you get a 50¢ EUR 0,50 bill for the toilet. You can buy things for 50¢ EUR 0,50 with it at the petrol station shop and at the restaurant.
You can drink water from the tap nearly everywhere in Germany.
Keep in mind that most shops (including supermarkets) are not allowed to open on Sundays. Also most supermarkets close at 20:00 or even earlier. There are ''no'' 24h-shops, but gas stations often offer a limited food section.In bigger cities you can usually get the cheapest fast-food at the various Turkish and Italian Restaurants.
