It is very easy to fool them however, they will first ask you for a national ID or a passport and if you tell them that you cannot produce either they will accept anything that has a (supposedly your) name and an address on it. They can't be bothered to call the police as that takes them a lot of time to arrive.

== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Northeast towards [[Lübeck]], [[Puttgarden]] {{Autobahn|1}} (& East towards [[Berlin]] {{Autobahn|24}}) ===
==== Option 1 :Serways Raststätte Stillhorn Ost ====You need to get Take S-bahn S3 or S31 to '''Raststätte Stillhorn'Wilhelmsburg'' on the A1. It is easy to get there. Just take S3 or S31 to Wilhelmsburg and then a bus (line #13) to the last stop at ''Kirchdorf-Süd''. You get off at the last stop (ten minute trip maxWalk east along Karl-Arnold-RIng for 200 m.). Just follow the road from where you got off the bus in the driving direction Keep walking straight ahead. You'll walk along a path and get out directly at Stillhorn. Cross cross over the furthest little small bridge on the . Turn '''right''' after the bridge on Altenfelder Weg and walk right for ~500 meter≈500 m to the junction with Stillhorner Weg. ThereIf you look around here you will see an underpass, cross the motorway by walking go under the tunnel, autobahn and behind it you already see the service station walk for 400m until a small road to your left. Just behind (Jakobsberg) just after the on-ramp there's a little . Walk 300 m north along this path towards and you will reach the service stationback of the Raststätte.
Follow the directions as for Berlin below. Use a sign.
=== South towards [[Lüneburg]] {{Autobahn|39}}, [[Hannover]] {{Autobahn|7}} & Southwest towards [[Bremen]] {{Autobahn|1}} ===
If you are going towards the [[Netherlands]], get a ride south to ''Dammer Berge'' on the A1 (just before [[Osnabrück]]), where the [[A1 (Germany)|A1]] joins the [[A30 (Germany)|A30]] in the direction of [[Rheine]] and [[Amsterdam]].
=== North towards [[Flensburg]], [[Kiel]], [[Denmark]] {{Autobahn|7}} ===
==== Option 1 : Autobahn Junction HH-Schnelsen ====[[File:Hamburg_hitchspot.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Hitching Spot at ramp ''HamburgTake U-Schnelsen'']]For going north on A7 motorway to mainland [[Denmark]], take the metro bahn ''U2'' towards ''Niendorf-Markt''. From there get out and ask people for the bus station (''Busbahnhof''). There take Take bus 5 or bus #191 until stop and get off at ''SellhopswegFreizeitbad Bondenwald''. Get out there, walk some 200m back to This is a bus stop with a bus bay and here all the traffic light. You'll see that the road going left follows the way to the motorwaypasses by. There's no footpath, so you have to walk along the green space next to the road. Might be tricky in winter, easy in summer. Just take care when [[hitchhiking a truck|trucks]] and cars coming from behind! After some 300m you're at the ramp. There's enough space for you to stand on, and it's easy for cars to recognize you and to stop. Have a look at the picture for this spot. Oh, someone mentioned that this spot might be illegal to stand on, but can you find an ''Autobahn'' sign in the picture ? ;-)
==== Option 2 : Raststätte Holmoor ====Take a ride or take the S-Bahn S3 or S21 to ''Eidelstadt'', and then A1 to ''Quickborn station''. It is possible to blackride. There Then take the bus 594 in direction to "of ''U A Norderstedt Mitte" '' and stop get off after the bus goes over the motorway (''Hasloher Weg '' stop). There you can maybe buy some flowers (a very nice old women offered us some information -okay it was wrong- and a rose). After getting off the bus, walk in the direction back toward towards the bridge (west) and you will immediately see a small road going left (the first one after the bridgeHasloher Weg). You will feel you are lost in the country side because after 200 metersm, this way doesn't look like a street anymore. NevermindNever mind, go ahead, go ahead go ahead keep going straight for another 400 m and on your right you will see a the petrol station. We needed less than five minutes to find a driver to Denmark :D '''Update june 2018:'''The area around the highway is under construction, so you cant cross it via the mentioned road above.You can follow the instruction above but get off at stop ''Hasloh'' instead of ''Quickborn'', go in direction of the train, turn right at ''Kirschenallee'', which becomes ''Dorfstrasse'', follow the road until you cross the highway, turn left at ''Quickborner weg'' and follow that into the woods until you reach Holmoor gasstation. Around 30-40 mins walking. Or you can go to ''Norderstedt Mitte'' instead and walk from there.
=== East towards [[Berlin]] {{Autobahn|24}} & (Northeast towards [[Lübeck]], [[Puttgarden]] {{Autobahn|1}}) ===
[[File:Leaving Hamburg direction Puttgarden.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Hitching on Horner Kreisel - illegal version!]]

Some hitchhikers claim that hitching on the roundabout turn-off direction Berlin is easier, as here you have much more traffic going your way. It's recommended to stand immediately after the roundabout, in the grass before the blue motorway sign. Cars can stop right after the motorway sign. This place is used by many hitchhikers. It's not uncommon to find a direct lift to Berlin in 5 minutes. But it has to be pointed out that doing so is against the law, for the Autobahn starts there − and you must not walk or stop on it. Hitchhikers and drivers, who stop there, can be fined. Apart form the legal aspect, bear in mind that this may be dangerous for you!
Update 22/10/2017: We were two people hitching and we tried several spot near the round about. The best one would be the one around 100m before the bus station at a traffic light. It can be difficult to get a ride because there is often traffic but anyway it seems to be the best spot to get a ride directly to Berlin.
If you want to go to Puttgarden for going into [[Scandinavia]], you can hitch to the ferry at Puttgarden, and get a ride straight to [[Copenhagen]]. Have a look at the [[Puttgarden]] article for more info.
