== Hitching Out ==

=== South towards [[Leipzig]] ([[A9]]), West towards [[Magdeburg]], [[Hannover]] ([[A2 (Germany)|A2]]) ===

* '''Rasthof Michendorf'''—Just 30 minutes by 'Regionalbahn' (train) south west of Berlin. This is the most direct option. You easily get hitches to the south, west as well as to the east (Poland). Take a train (e.g. RE3 to [[Dessau]], check [http://www.fahrinfo-berlin.de/Fahrinfo/bin/ fahrinfo-berlin.de] for route information.) from the center (2.60 EUR). Get off at train station ''Michendorf''. Leave the station at the left side (in direction of the train). Turn right into the Potsdamer Straße, at the bus stop, and walk for 20 minutes straight on it. To go west or south ([[Munich]], [[Hannover]], [[Magdeburg]]) turn right into the Feldstraße and follow it till you see the service station. Enter it via the green emergency door. If you want to go east towards [[Poland]] or [[Dresden]] turn right after the tunnel (it's a small sandy road through a wood). Follow the road until you are at the restaurant of the rest stop. This is a long arena so walk around the restaurant area, car parks, and petrol pumps.

* For going South or West you can try the '''Raststätte Grunewald'''. Take the ''S-Bahn'' train ''S7'' to ''Potsdam'' or ''S1'' to ''Wannsee'' and get out at ''Nikolasee''. Walk out of the train station, cross the bridge and you'll see the petrol station next to you. Usually you will encounter some other hitchhikers ( "I stood there with 14 other Hitchhikers on a sunny Monday morning, 9 o`clock. Maybe Grunewald is a HH place, that is too well known!" --Bocia), but normally you get a car at the petrol station within a few minutes - at least to ''Michendorf''! Also standing at the traffic lights before the ramp seems to be useful!

* Another option is the ''Aral'' petrol station at '''Kaiserdamm''' near the central bus station. Take U2 to ''Kaiserdamm'' (if you come from direction ''Zoo'') and go out in the driving direction. Leave the station on the left exit. After 50m there's the petrol station. It depends on the day, sometimes it's very easy to get away there, sometimes it's harder.

* '''Trampstelle [[Potsdam]]'''

There is a local campaign for an official hitchhiking spot in Potsdam, they made a petition and won it :)

The hitchhiking spot is planned now and will be established soon.

* '''Rasthof Michendorf'''—Just 30 minutes by 'Regionalbahn' (train) south west of Berlin. You easily get hitches to the south, west as well as to the east (Poland). Take a train (e.g. RE3 to [[Dessau]], check [http://www.fahrinfo-berlin.de/Fahrinfo/bin/ fahrinfo-berlin.de] for route information.) from the center (2.60 EUR).
