[[Image:Leaving Hamburg direction Puttgarden.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Hitching on Horner Kreisel - illegal version!]]If you're planing to hitchhike towards [[Berlin]] on the [[A24 (Germany)|A24]], there's a big roundabout in the southeast of the city where it's possible to catch a ride directly to Berlin or at least part of the way. This spot is called the ''[http://horner-kreisel.hitchbase.com/ Horner Kreisel]'' and is a popular hitchhiking spot for many hitchhikers in [[Germany]]. The easiest way to get there is from the Station ''Hasselbrook'' (S1, S11). You leave the train in the direction of Steindamm, upstairs turn right and the after a few meters left into the Caspar-Voght-Straße. Follow this street 500 meters until the big crossing with Sievekingsallee. On the opposite side of the Sievekingsallee you'll see the busstop ''Caspar-Voght-Straße''. Here you can stand and wait for a ride. This works fine.

Some years ago they reconstructed the Horner Kreisel. Earlier it was possible to stand in the middle of it on an busstop, but it was moved. Now the busstop is located ''before'' the roundabout where the cars are driving pretty fast, and on the Kreise the cars have no opportunity to stop. Some hithchhikers claim that hitching on the roundabout turn-off direction Berlin is easier, as here you have much more traffic going your way. It's recommended to stand immediately after the roundabout, in the grass before the blue motorway sign. Cars can stop right after the motorway sign. This place is used by many hitchhikers. It's not uncommon to find a direct right to Berlin in 5 minutes. But it has to be pointed out that doing so is against the law, for the Autobahn starts there - and you must not walk or stop on it. Hitchhikers and drivers, who stop there, can be fined.
