B170, A17 / E55 autobahn interchange ([http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=4650 map]). There is a traffic light at entry ramp to A17 east towards Prag with a blue sign, a wide shoulder, and just after the corner to the entry ramp is a small slab of asphalt were drivers can stop. Try to get a ride to the next rest stop, about 5 minutes away driving. <br>
To get here: <br>
====Option 4.====Try to get to the first parking lot right after getting on the A17. Nearly everyone leaving Dresden in this direction is going to Pirna and will pass this park place. There is not very much traffic at this stop, but surely everybody is going across the border to the first gas station in [[Czech Republic]]. <br>To get here: <br>A. Get a ride from one of the previous options <br>B. Walk there. It is ca. 600m east from the Highway 170 onramp and it is not necessary to walk on the Autobahn. <br>:''2012, 20th January: about half an hour and I got a ride directly to Prague -lex''

As well the train ride as the road from Hřensko have really nice nature which is best experienced in good weather.

If you driver is passing Dresden in east-west direction, it's a good idea to have him drop you at the exit ''Dresden-Neustadt''. It's very easy for then driver to get back onto the motorway and there's a tram station from where you can get into the city centre easily.
