Keep walking straight and cross over the small bridge. Turn '''right''' after the bridge on Altenfelder Weg and walk for ≈500 m to the junction with Stillhorner Weg. If you look around here you will see an underpass, go under the autobahn and walk for 400m 400 m until a small road to your left (Jakobsberg) just after the on-ramp. Walk 300 m north along this path and you will reach the back of the Raststätte.

If you're planing planning to hitchhike towards [[Berlin]] on the [[A24 (Germany)|A24]], there's a bus stop near a big [[roundabout]] in the southeast of the city where it's possible to catch a ride directly to Berlin or at least part of the way. This spot is called the ''[http://horner-kreisel.hitchbase.com/ Horner Kreisel]'' and is a popular hitchhiking spot for many hitchhikers in [[Germany]]. Here you can stand and wait for a ride. This works fine. For hitchhiking to Berlin prepare a cardboard sign with a huge B written on it, which is the number plate sign for cars from Berlin and understood widely. It's a good spot.

The easiest way to get there is from the Station ''Hasselbrook'' (S1, S11). You leave the train in the direction of Steindamm, upstairs turn right and the after a few meters left into the Caspar-Voght-Straße. Follow this street 500 meters until the big crossing with Sievekingsallee. On the opposite side of the Sievekingsallee you'll see the bus-stop ''Caspar-Voght-Straße''. Ask for the road to Berlin if you are lost. Go further up the road and look for a bus stop with a large blue metal pole in front with lots of hitch-hiker traces :). It's just in front of the "Horner Kreisel" and is called "BAB Auffahrt Horn". You can also reach there by taking the U2 or U4 to "Rauhes Haus". This spot is actually great, because owners of turkish Turkish shop at the station noticed strange amount amounts of hitchhikers in front of their business. I think they are quite enjoying it. Just when I was about to start, they invited me in for a free turkish Turkish coffee and cigarette (I usually don't smoke, but this was kind of nice). They got some carton boxes and marker just for assistance to assisting hitchhikers, so they made one for me. Highly recommended (although it was two years ago, so I just hope they are still there).

Please note, some years ago they reconstructed the Horner Kreisel. Earlier it was possible to stand in the middle of it on an bus-stop, but now the bus-stop is located '''before''' the roundabout where the cars are driving pretty fast, and on the Kreisel the cars have no opportunity to stop.

right now== Sleeping out & Tips ==Eventhough theres a lot of parks and hidden spots in town where you can camp or simply sleep the night off in the ground, there's I would recommend to go to Hauptbanhof (central train station) and catch the regional train that goes towards [https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1237025548#map=15/53.4034/10.0663 Maschen Train Station] (not to be confused with the nearby village as you would be directed to take buses on a construction side between Hamburg-Horn and Kreuz Hamburg Ostmore complex route). The A24 direction Berlin deal with Maschen is that its the second largest Freight Train Yard in the world (and only by a few tracks not the first one), its quite a sight and Lübeck will be closed until 19a great place to hang out specially if you appreciate freight trains and large infrastructures. Theres a ton of spots to camp right by the yard but I would suggest to find your way to one of the 4 lakes that you can find right next to it. [https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?whereami=1&query=53.3942%2C10.0635#map=16/53. August 20183942/10. The spot 0635 See im Mascher Moor] should be your best bet but beware that its the most popular one so you might not work in this wake up with a lot of people walking by (but camping is ok as people do it all the time, specially on fishing trips). Take a moment to walk up the bridge crossing the yard and take that marvelous sight. Notice that the Bridge is under constraction (as of May 2021) so you cant walk easily from one side to the other (but you can if you can crawl under that fence or jump thru the sides). My second recommendation is [https://www.ndropenstreetmap.deorg/nachrichtensearch?whereami=1&query=53.4191%2C10.0478#map=16/hamburg53.4191/A24-ist-10.0478 See imGrossen Moor] which I found more peaceful in terms of people but a bit noisy due to proximity to a highway. There are portable toilets on the way to the sandy beach and you should find enough spots right by the water to camp. To go there its a better idea to jump out from the train at Meckenfeld train station as its a much shorter walk than from Maschen Passenger Station.If you happen to be caught on a storm or something, theres the [https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?whereami=1&query=53.41199%2C10.05329#map=18/53.41199/10.05329 creepy tunnel] that goes all the way under the freight yard where you would be safe from rain and winds but maybe not from dracula. If for whatever reason you dont wanna take this route or the bridge in order to cross the yard and you take on the stupid idea of walk thru the tracks, beware that this is a freight yard where trains are assembled and dissasembled, which means that theres a lot of silent killer-Hamburger-Osten-lange-gesperrtwagons being released into the tracks, no lights and no sounds. Just silently ghosting their way thru the yard and if one of those heavy tons of steel should hit you that would be it for you. Then theres the tracks where the fast trains show up in a split second. So my advice, no walking thru the tracks unless you have eyes and ears all around your head and know how to use them. Notice how there seem to be no ticket inspectors at all in Hamburg, Ive been on and off in that town in the years 2018,2019,2020 and 2021 and taken countless rides on buses, sbahns,verkehr794ubahns and regional trains going in and out of the city and never been asked for a ticket.html) == Trashwiki & Nomadwiki ==
