Changes

You have several options to go onto the [[A2 (Germany)|A2]].

*Take a tram towards ''Sieker'' and get off at the last stop. There is some space to stop cars right behind the traffic lights in direction of [[A2 (Germany)|A2]] ([[on-ramp]] ''BI-Zentrum''). You can hitch a ride here all the way along ''Detmolder Strasse'' until that point where a road leading to A2 begins. Get out here and walk behind the traffic lights some 50m over the grass until you can stand on the [[shoulder|hard shoulder]]. Wave you thumb and hitch a ride to the [[highway|motorway]]. Best spot in Bielefeld, see See map for closer information/further clarification. * Take a bus (350 or 351 towards Bad Salzuflen) and get off at ''Runkelkrug'Second', right after passing under the motorway. If you turn right and walk on the grass next to the motorway for about five minutes, you end up at the new service station which is called something along the lines of "Lippländer Land". This is a great spot for finding rides up towards Hannover and further up (Hamburg, Berlin). '''Note: This is a north-bound only service station; across the road there is a parking only!'''*The following are old directions that used to lead you to a highway service station that now has been converted to a parking. It can still be used, but getting here from Bielefeld is rather inconvenient comparing to the option right above.<br>Take a train or a bus to [[Herford]] from where you can take a bus to ''Alten Markt'' (many bus lines); from there you can take the line #S5 to the bus-stop ''Tierpark''. When at ''Tierpark'', keep on walking to the motorway. When you are in front of a bridge walk right for the [[rest area|service station]] (now parking) towards [[Dortmund]], and further behind the bridge if heading to [[Hannover]]. '''Warning: As of December 2013, this service station has been transformed into a parking area.''' There is a new service station about five kilometers to the south, but it can't be found on google maps as of yet.
