Hitching out

North on E 55 towards Nykøbing Falster, E 47, Copenhagen

There are no good places to stand to hitch, but just out of the Scandlines ferry terminal there is a place you can stand just before a street to the right and cars have the possibility to stop. Basically walk away from the ferry next to where the cars are driving and you will see it. Trucks must stop and pay the toll for the road so it is possible to ask drivers. DK trucks are not allowed to take passengers so focus on other trucks.

If you get stuck there is bus 39 that drives to Nykøbing Falster which costs 5€ and is the only transport in Gedser. There is no bus between 11pm and 4am. It can be easier hitching from Nykøbing F because there are more cars.

The closest city is Nykøbing Falster then Nørre Alslev and after the bridge you are on Zealand. Petrol stations are located on the joint E47/E55 towards Copenhagen at Tappernøje and Karlslunde.
