=== North ([[Kassel]], [[Hannover]]) and South ([[Karlsruhe]], [[Strasbourg]], [[Freiburg im Breisgau|Freiburg]]) {{Autobahn|5}} ===
'''1. 1st option:''' Take tram No. 17 from Frankfurt DB main train station until the last stop "Am Rebstockbad". This takes you about 10 minutes. From the final stop 'Am Rebstockbad' you can already see the motorway (A648) which interchanges some 700 meter westward on Autobahn A5 (north/soutward). When you arrive at the Esso [[gas station]] on the side that leads (estbound) into Frankfurt - walk westward along the Autobahn and cross at a raod bridge 200-300 meter away. Cars that refuel at this (westbound) Esso gas station will in almost every case travel either northward (Kassel, Hannover) or southward (Darmstadt, Basel) on Autobahn A5.
The next gas station (on A5/E451) in northern direction is "Raststätte Wetterau". It is usually a very good spot for long rides. Twice [[User:Wukk|Wukk]] found a ride after 5 minutes, one straight to [[Hamburg]], one to "Wetterau".
NOTE: User trt tried here in July 2011, and found almost every car was heading west, not North onto the A5. Not an ideal place to hitch North from (But apparently great to hitch west).
'''2. 2nd option''' Take suburban train (S-Bahn) S3 (indicating: Darmstadt) to the stop "Erzhausen", leave the station and walk through the town Erzhausen on "Bahnstraße" and "Hauptstraße" westward until you can hear Autobahn A5. To reach [http://www.rast.de/standorte/suche/detail.html?ID=123 Rastanlage Gräfenhausen Ost] (northward, direction Kassel and Hannover) on A5 cross the fields lefthand before you reach the Autobahn. Check with GOOGLE-maps before you leave, the way is simple to find but not marked. To reach [http://www.rast.de/standorte/suche/detail.html?ID=124 Rastanlage Gräfenhausen West] (southward, direction Karlsruhe and Basel) stay on "Hauptstraße", cross the Autobahn via the bridge, walk lefthand through the forest on "Erzhäuser Weg" until the relais. It takes 40 minutes from the city center of frankfurt until "Rastanlage Gräfenhausen". There is plenty of long distance traffic 24 hours a day at this spot, a restaurant as well as a supermarket!
