Braunschweig is a city in the German federal state Lower Saxony.

The city is located along the A2, and there traffic jams quite often between Hannover and Braunschweig.

Hitching Out

Dont't try to hitchhike near the IKEA on Hansestraße or on Hamburgerstraße. Cars can't stop there.

East (Magdeburg, Berlin) or West (Hannover, Dortmund, Amsterdam) A2

From the city center take the Bus 560 from Braunschweig Rathaus to Wipshausen and exit in Zweidorf - Peiner Straße. From there walk the Rothbergstraße until you see the service station, place yourself there if you want to go east. Use the tunnel of the Rothbergstraße to cross the highway and place yourself on this side of the service station if you want to go west.

Alternatives:

  • The ramp Braunschweig Ost: From the city center take the tram to Volkmarode. Then take the 6km walk to the ramp (or try to hitchhike to there). It is an average position (average 40 min), but my standard if go to Berlin because i often get direct rides from there.
  • Take the Bus to Groß Schwülper and exit near the ramp Braunschweig Hafen or take the walk from Hansestraße (3km) if you get stuck there. I never had any problems to get from there on the A2 to the west. (East seems to be a bad idea from here)

South (Göttingen, Kassel, Frankfurt) A7

From the city center take the bus to Rüningen and exit at Raabestraße. Walk trough the highway bridge and then take a walk over the fields to the service station, which can be seen from here.

to Wolfenbüttel

Try your luck in the city center, for example at the John F. Kennedy Platz or from the railstation.


Hitching In

Is difficult.

from A2

Don't let yourself be dropped at Braunschweig Flughafen (Airport). It is a research airport and there is no traffic on weekends or after 6pm. From Braunschweig Ost it is a 6km walk to the next tram station (but maybe hitchable). Braunschweig Nord is a motorway cross, don't get dropped there. Best is Braunschweig Hafen but it is still a walk 3km to the next tramstation. If comming from the west, it is possible that your driver leaves at BS Hafen and then takes you to Hansestraße (where you will find the tram station) your driver can easily go back on the highway from there because there is another ramp.

A391

You can use all the ramps Weststadt, Lehndorf or Hansestraße, you will be able to find a bus from there.
