=== Northwest towards [[Ivano-Frankivsk]] (H10), north towards [[Ternopil']] (M19) ===
The road splits into the H10 towards Ivano-Frankivsk and the M19 towards Ternopil' at the village Mamaivtsi which is 8km further. Here you can find a great spot for going to Ternopil': a huge roundabout after which you can stand right before a railroad crossing where all drivers have to slow down if they don't want to wreck their car. Street lighting for dark nights inclusive.
[[User:n0id|n0id]] and M. first tried to hitch next to the locals at the bus station, but soon walked a bit further and got a lift to Mamaivtsi. Here they also had the company of a few locals coming and leaving by flagging down a ride. At around 10pm there was not too much traffic, but trucks passed by once in a while and finally one did stop (, going all the way to Warsaw via Ternopol and [[Luts'k]] - they were unfortunate to have a transit for [[Hrebenne-Rava Ruska border crossing|Rava-Ruska]] marked in their passports)Poland, stopped.
=== East towards [[Moldova]] ===
To leave Chernivtsi towards Romania, find a stop of the trolley bus #3 (ask any bus driver). From the center (Ulica Rosskaja), you could for example take bus #202 and ask your driver to advise you. Get off trolley bus #3 at the last stop and walk down the road a few hundred meters. There's not a lot of traffic, and [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] got two local lifts before a Russian truck headed to Greece picked him up. The road enters Romania at the [[Siret-Porubnoe border crossing]].
==Sleep==
Very close to the university building (the most beautiful and famous touristic attraction of the city) there is a very calm and nice neighbourhood with parks and lots of spots for wild camping. Walk on the right of the university and follow its fence for around 4-500m to find your spot.
