== Route [[Amsterdam]] - [[CopenhagenHamburg]]/ - [[HamburgCopenhagen]] ==Hitchhiking the route [[Amsterdam]]- [[CopenhagenHamburg]]/ - [[HamburgCopenhagen]] (or vice versa) is a popular route among hitchhikers. In theory, the route of '''788 km''' [http://maps.google.de/maps?f=d&saddr=Amsterdam&daddr=Copenhagen&hl=de&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=52.85921,7.46511&sspn=4.729803,9.887695&ie=UTF8&ll=53.917281,8.734131&spn=4.614155,9.887695&z=7 ] can be done in 8 hours and 4 minutes by car. With hitchhiking, it's possible to do this route in one day.
The route Amsterdam - Hamburg can, in theory, be done in 4,5 hours ('''467 km''') [http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&hl=de&geocode=&q=from:+Amsterdam+to:Hamburg&sll=51.151786,10.415039&sspn=19.69748,39.550781&ie=UTF8&z=7].
From [[Amsterdam]] you will follow the [[A1_(Netherlands)|A1]] towards [[Amersfoort]], [[Hengelo]] and [[Germany]]. Your best chance is to start at the official [[Liftplaats]] near the [[Amstel Station]], or walk further that road towards the Petrol-station 50 meters further. 15 Kilometers further the [[A1_(Netherlands)|A1]] you will find a large petrol-station near [[Muiden]] (between exit 2 [[Muiden]] and 3 [[Muiden|Muiderslot]]). You can ask your driver if they wil pass that spot or even go further. The second petrol-station is 30 km further just before the first exit to [[Amersfoort]]. You will find also good spots at the entries along the highway as there is often a rather large [[on-ramp]] that you can use to thumb drivers.
Your route is basically [[Apeldoorn]] - [[Hengelo]] - [[Bremen]] - [[Hamburg]] - . The most important petrol-stations are Kootwijk, near [[Apeldoorn]], After [[Hengelo]], Dammer Berge after the [[Osnabruck]] junction.
After you crossed the border near [[Hengelo]] the [[A1 (Netherlands)]] changes into the [[A30_(Germany)|A30]]. You won't find any petrol stations for quite a while. The last good hitchable petrol station in the [[Netherlands]] is just after Hengelo. Your best shot is to find a driver who is going to [[Bremen]] or further. As such you will avoid the infamous crossing at [[Osnabruck]]. If you only find drivers going somewhere along the [[A30 (Germany)|A30]], check out the specific highway article for good spots along the way. Hitching along the on-ramps should bring you to Osnabruck in around 1-2 hours. Best for this are the ramps [[Bad Bentheim]] and [[Ibbenburen]]. If your driver only goes into the city of Osnabruck, try to convince him to bring you to the ramp in Osnabruck-Hafen, which is a good spot for hitchhiking further north. Don't worry, it works somehow!
