'''Denmark''' is a country in [[Northern Europe]]. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]].
According to [http://wikitravel.org/en/Denmark#By_thumb wikitravel] hitchhiking is legal in Denmark except on highways. Most drivers speak English, not German. There was a hitchhiking project done in 2006 called ''The Search for Danish Mentality''. As a follow-up the same organization - – MS - – is running another project this year called [[The Search for the Commons]].
When hitching on slip roads to the highway, I found people more easily stopped if you were at the bottom of the slip road than at the top of the slip road. Most ramps in '''Denmark''' have enough space for cars to stop.
:''[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] was hitchhiking in Denmark in January 2008 during a storm and found out that hitchhiking through the country is quite fast.''

== Directions ==
=== [[Hamburg]] to [[Copenhagen]] ===
From [[Hamburg]] to [[Copenhagen]] you can hitch to the ferry at [[Puttgarden]], and get a ride straight to [[Copenhagen]]. If you ask the people after they paid the ticket you can cross for free (and save 7 euros). Tickets are per vehicle not person.
You can watch a [http://youtube.com/watch?v=fiR_zNYFoTc video] of the lovely Danish landscape that [[amylin]] made straight off the ferry into Denmark, from this route, in February 2008.
; '''From Sealand'''
Hitch you self a ride to Gedser witch is connected by ferry to [[Rostock]], [[Germany]], or [[Rødbyhavn]] which is connected by ferry to [[Puttgarden]], [[Germany]].
A car-ticket for the ferry includes up to 9 persons so it should by possible to get a free ride over and maybe further.
