'''Flensburg''' is a city in [[Schleswig-Holstein]], [[Germany]]. It's located near the [[Denmark|Danish]] border.
Better avoid getting dropped here, since you'll have to walk to the other side of the city to get your next lift.

===North towards [[Denmark]]===
Probably your best chance is asking the Danes, shopping at the hypermarket before crossing the border. To get there, take the bus towards Niebüll and get off after the bus underpasses the highwaymotorway.<map lat='54.77287049577344' lng='9.393138885498047' zoom='11' view='0' float='right' height='300' width='300'/>
You can try the second option if you like, it worked well for [[User:Alin titoc|Alin titoc]], going to the small place Kruså, in Denmark close to border. You can take the number 1 bus or you can walk till there it's about one hour walking from the city center. There is a good spot next to the parking place where the car can easily stop. There is also a good place at the north side of Kruså. If you follow the main road towards the E45 there is a section where there is space for cars to stop. It’s past the campsite and before the picnic tables. Another good option is the Autohof between Handewitt and the motorway. To reach it from Flensburg, take the bus that goes towards Niebüll and stops at Handewitt - B199, then walk back toward Flensburg for about 500m. ===West towards [[Niebüll]], [[Sylt]]===
Try it at the road next to the northbound spot or at the bus stop ''Exe'' in the western city center. Taking the bus seems to be a good alternative since the spots along the road are not always the best and the vacationists heading to Sylt don't seem to like hitchhikers.
===South towards [[Kiel]], [[Hamburg]]===
From the city center follow the ''Husumer Strasse'' leading to an Aral petrol station. Ask the drivers there or stand after the traffic lights.
== Personal experiances ==
''In June 2023, from the crosssing just next to Scandinavian Park ([https://www.google.com/maps/place/54%C2%B046'41.2%22N+9%C2%B020'00.5%22E here], GPS 54°46'41.2"N+9°20'00.5"E), we waited 1h20 before catching a ride to 50km past the danish border. People seemed a bit afraid of helping hitchhikers cross the border because of the border controls.''
