'''Norway''' is a good country to hitch in, of course depending on location!~~Hitching~~ Even though "haike" is not too common in Norway, Norwegians are very likely to pick you up and can be very friendly and helpful. It is always hard to find a spot to get out of big ~~cities is almost impossible, unless it's weekend~~Cities though. People have a tendancy to always be in a rush on weekdays. The main thing to be aware of is the rapidly shifting weather, so be prepared for anything, as they say in Norway: "there is nothing called bad weather, only bad clothing".

Places close to small towns are good hitching spots. But do take care of your appearance, as people are a bit judging in this country.

Hithing is MUCH easier in the beautiful north (at least in the Summer), where many locals hitch regularly to commute.

If you want to get out of Oslo, you should definitely get behind the E6 tunnel, in the inner city it's worthless. There are several highway entrances behind the tunnel, the further out, the easier it get's. Around IKEA is the area where most trucks start.

[[User:abstorz|abstorz]] is a dude, and hitched from Trondheim to Oslo and back in March/April. Both trips took one day. From Oslo he was able to hitch a ride onto the highway behind the tunnel in the area of Etterstad, from Trondheim he took the bus to Heimdal and walked another couple of miles to a bus stop. Once on the highway everything went fine. He took the route over Oppdal/Dombås.
