[[User:N0id|n0id]] hitched here only onceDrivers can go via the exits ''Trotha'', but got a direct lift after 10 minutes to Magdeburg (he usually waited at ''Tornau'' or the Aral stations one hour or more while getting many, many offers to Berlin)Bundestraße B100.
===West ''Option 1'': Take tram #3, #8 or East: [[A38 (Germany)|A38]]===You can go with many trams #12 to the last stop ''RennbahnkreuzTrotha''. Here begins Go back to the B80 which leads from which traffic light where the tram turned and walk 500m along Trothaer Straße (later Magdeburger Chaussee) until you can drive on reach an Aral station. Try hitching at the station or stand by the A38road. Might be possible It is better to catch lifts towards Leipzig and towards [[Göttingen]] or [[Kassel]]stand by the road. After the Aral station there is a shoulder, which is not tarmaced but there still good to stop. Try to get a lift on the Autobahn, as cars further up drive pretty fast. The service station ''Plötzetal'' is no real place to standvery close, just a traffic light (it is after the bridge) where cars towards Leipzig turn left next exit ''Löbejün''. If your driver goes to Könnern ask them to go via the highway and all others go straightdrop you at the service station.

'''Halle (Saale)''' is a city in the south of [[SachsenSaxony-Anhalt]], nearby [[Leipzig]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
===All directions===
A good place to find a lift towards [[Berlin]] (A9) and [[Leipzig]]/[[Dresden]] (A14) is the Aral gas station near ''Wasserturm''. You get there by taking tram #1 in direction of ''Frohe Zukunft'' and getting out at the stop ''Äußere Hordorfer Straße''. The gas station is on your left after the traffic light. You can also take an S-Bahn from the central station and get out at ''S-Bhf Dessauer Brücke'', then you need go up the stairs, cross the street and walk right a few meters.
The B100 continues to the A9, so if you want to hitchhike to Berlin you can also get out at the next traffic light after, there is place to stop and the red light is long enough to ask people directly.
===North towards [[Magdeburg]]===Take the tram #The easiest way to get to / direction of Magdeburg is Option 1 . [[User:Halmd|Halmd]] never waits longer than 20 minutes there. On weekdays there is a lot of traffic until 09:00, after that it is hard to the last stop ''Frohe Zukunft'' and hitch directly at the road with get a signride until 14:00. Especially locals will avoid the longer route via the B100 and drive this way towards the on-ramp ''Tornau'', but also some navigation systems lead After 14:00 you this waycan again easily get a lift.
''Option 2:''Take the tram #1 to the last stop ''Frohe Zukunft'' and hitch directly at the road with a sign. Especially locals will avoid the longer route via the B100 and drive this way towards the on-ramp ''Tornau'', but also some navigation systems lead you this way. You can accept a lift to the on-ramp, although there is no shoulder to stop. ''Option 3'': The Aral station near ''Wasserturm''. The best way is probably to stand by the road while keeping an eye on the cars at the station. [[User:N0id|n0id]] once got a direct lift after 10 minutes to Magdeburg at the spot in Frohe Zukunft, but a second time proved to be as bad as the Aral station near Wasserturm where it took usually one hour or more. Although he tried it only once, the first option might be the best. === West or East: [[A38 (Germany)|A38]] ===Many trams go to the stop ''Rennbahnkreuz''. Here, the B80 begins, which leads to the [[A143_(Germany)|A143]], leading in turn to the ''A38''. It might be possible to catch lifts towards Leipzig and towards [[Göttingen]] or [[Kassel]], but there is no real place to stand, just a traffic light (after the bridge) where cars towards Leipzig turn left and all others go straight. ===East to [[Leipzig]]===
It should be possible to catch rides somewhere on ''Delitzer Straße''. Tram #7 goes in that direction from the central station. However, be aware that there are constructions on that road and also the tram might not run to its final stop (May 2011).
==Hitchhiking in=====Coming From Berlin ([[A9_(Germany)|A9]] North) ===The last service station on the A9, [[Köckern West]], is located just 5km before the exit towards Halle. It is not recommended to get off in Köckern because people going to Halle will usually not stop here, their destination being only 20km away. Instead, ask your driver to take the exit towards Halle and drop you off on the B100. This means a small detour, as the first possibility to turn back towards the Autobahn is a 3km drive from the exit. <br> In [[User:Mohit|Mohit]]'s experience, hitching Berlin-Halle regularly, drivers will gladly do you the favour and no one has ever refused. It is best to ask before it's too late to commence plan B, though. (which should be to find a different driver at Rasthof Fläming or Köckern, or get off at the airport, in [[Leipzig]], or on the B6 and hitch from there)<br>Once you're on the B100, there will be lots of traffic with almost everybody going to Halle. You can either hitch the old-fashioned way (thumbing), or ask people at the traffic light or at the gas station 1km down the road. === From the North([[A14_(Germany)|A14]]) ===
You can get off at ''Tornau''. It is still far to the center, but you can easily hitch another ride during daytime.
==Public transportNomadwiki & Trashwiki ==You can basically get everywhere by tram. Frequent controls. Sometimes in uniform (easily recognizable), sometimes plain clothes. They alway carry devices to check tickets though!
