Duisburg is a city in the German federal state of Nordrhein-Westfalen.

It is one of the biggest cities in Germany, located directly in the Ruhr Area. Hitchhiking out will be quite difficult because of the colossal network of highways in the Ruhr Area. Nevertheless, don't panic, we'll give it a try!

Hitching Out

North towards Münster, East towards Hannover

Currently the best option seems to be this:

• Take a train somehow towards Oberhausen-Sterkrade. From there take the bus #979 to the Heinrich-Heine-Straße in Bottrop. From there you'll see the highway, just walk towards it. It's a good spot to hitch away fast towards Münster or Hannover.
