=== East towards [[Berlin]] and North East & (Northeast towards [[CopenhagenLübeck]], [[ScandinaviaPuttgarden]] ) ===

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 busstop 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 shop at the station noticed strange amount of hitchhikers in front of their bussinessbusiness. I think they are quite enjoying it. Just when I was about to start, they invited me in for a free turkish coffee and cigarette (I ussualy dont usually don't smoke, but this was kind of nice). They got some carton boxes and marker just for assistance to hitchhikers, so they made one for me. Highly reccomended recommended (although it was two years ago, so I just hope they are still there).
