==== Option 1:Serways Raststätte Stillhorn Ost ====Take S-bahn S3 or S31 to ''Wilhelmsburg'' and then bus 13 to the last stop at ''Kirchdorf-Süd''. Walk east along Karl-Arnold-RIng Ring for 200 m. 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.
