One possible option could be Note: as of 22.01.12 the google satelite photos for this region are badly out of date. Street view is good.====Option 1.====There are a few places near bus stop ''Südhöhe'' (Lines Bus lines 72, 76 & 360)at the overpass intersection of Bergstraße, Südhöhe, Kohlenstaße. <br>A. the onramp to Bergstraße (Highway 170) going south towards A17 and Prag. You can get a driver while they are stopped at the light waiting to take a right onto the highway. See other options for next steps as you are unlikely to get a long distance ride from here. <br>B. There is a petrol station ("Aral") but it is located on the opposite side of the road. It's the last petrol station before the motorway though. You could also try to stop cars on various bus stops, usually near traffic lights, throughout all the way on ''Bergstraße'', however, most of the road is an upward slope which makes it difficult for the drivers to stop (or to get back on the road). <br>

Probably ====Option 2.====Try to stop cars on various bus stops or near traffic lights on ''Bergstraße'' between city center and ''Südhöhe''. However, it is difficult for the best spot drivers to stop on this road and taking a bus to ''BergstraßeSüdhöhe'' is recommended. Haltestelle ''Mommsenstraße'' where is probably the best as you can easily stand close to the bridge and ask people at the traffic light. It is not advisable to walk along highway 170 past Südhöhe.

====Option 3.====B170, A17 / E55 autobahn interchange ([http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=4650 map]). There is a traffic light at entry ramp to A17 east towards Prag with a blue sign, a wide shoulder, and just after the corner to the entry ramp is a small slab of asphalt were drivers can stop. Try to get a ride to the next rest stop, about 5 minutes away driving. <br>To get here: <br>A. Get a ride to the A17 west onramp from one of the other options and walk across the bridge. The will be dropping you off on the side of the highway so be careful. <br>B. From Dresden DB main station; take bus number 66 (MOCKRITZ) to the stop 'Altkaitz' and walk over 'Possendorfer Straße' and the fields in southward direction uphill to the B170, A17 / E55 autobahn interchange ([http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=4650 map]). This should not take longer than twenty minutes but saves you hours of might be much faster than waiting somewhere else. Stand right on <br>C.Take bus 360 towards A17 (direction ''Dippoldiswalde''). Press the stop button directly after you pass the bridge over onramp to A17 / E 55 before towards Prag. The bus will stop 200m later so walk back to the blue sign onramp. <br>:'Pirna'2012, 20th January: This seems like the best way to get here but I was not able to figure it out after I got on the 360 at Südhöhe and it started going the wrong direction. It took me once only 15 minutes Someone clarify please. -lex'':''2011, 13th August: at that place 5 minute wait!''MF and his grilfriend got a ride to find a driver bringing me right into the centre of Prague after half an hour. (main train stationMF):''2012, 20th January: about half an hour and I got a ride to the next park place. -lex''

:''2011, 13th August: at that place - waiting time 5 minutes - you've gotta love hitchhiking!''====Option 4.====Try to get to the first parking lot right after getting on the A17, since the people . Nearly everyone leaving Dresden in this direction is going to Pirna are also passing thereand will pass this park place. There are is not very many peoplemuch traffic at this stop, but surely everybody is going across the border to the first gas station in [[Czech Republic]].<br>To get here: <br>Another possibility is to take A. Get a bus ride from bus stop "Südhöhe" in the direction one of the motorway (must be 360 or something, direction ''Dippoldiswalde'')previous options <br>B. Press the stop button directly after you pass the entry ramp of the motorwayWalk there. The bus will stop 200m laterIt is ca. Walk back 600m east from the Highway 170 onramp and position yourself by the traffic light. Just after the corner it is not necessary to walk on the entry ramp is a small slab of asphalt were drivers can stopAutobahn.
