<== Personal Experiences == From our experiences, hitchhiking in Denmark is quite easy but most people only drive a few dozens kilometers to the next big city (at least during work days). ''Crossing into Denmark from Puttgarden, I ended up drawn in by the sea and forgot to try to get a lift while on the ferry. Once back on land, it seems the train station has been decommissioned and I was the only person exiting the ferry on foot!-- * [http://gomoreI had to hike for a mile or so and stealthily cross some highways to near a Circle K.dk/] - Biggest Danish A car sharing agency Car sharing or two passed in about ten minutes, there is not no through traffic from the ferry here. A bad spot, but I luckily got a ride in about twenty minutes to Koge, right outside Copenhagen. A week later returning from Sweden through Denmark, I had great luck, mostly standing on the shoulder of a ramp or small road with a sign for the next small city. Many Danish people gave me lifts culminating in sleeping in a home-cooked meal and sleep in a tiny house 50 meters from the sea in Gedser, a depressed town but with long stretches of undeveloped land along the coast. I was told while hitchhiking that if you say to the attendants at the ferry that you are trying to travel "using as little money as possible," they will let you on for free; however, I took the first ferry and no attendants were there, just a machine to buy a ticket, so you will likely have to ask for forgiveness vs. permission here.'' -->[[User:Vinteuil|Vinteuil]] == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}

'''Denmark''' is a country in [[Northern Europe]]. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]].
When hitching on [[slip roads]] to the motorway, people rather stop if you are at the top of the slip road than at the bottom of it. This is due to the fact that it is illegal to walk as a pedestrian on the highways (behind the green highway signs). Most [[on-ramp|ramps]] in Denmark have enough space for cars to stop.
