==Hitching out==
=== Northwest to Zelenogradsk and the Curonian Spit ===
Find a way to get to the northern end of ''Ulitsa Aleksandra Nevskogo'' (Russian: Ул. Александра Невского), which is roughly a few 100 metres after the road crosses a railway line and perhaps a kilometre before the road becomes part of a major motorway junction. One option is bus 31, which crosses the bridge over the railway line and then turns right before the road splits into two separate lanes to continue westwards after doing a u-turn; there is a bus stop on the side of the road right after it turns. From there, you can already see two petrol stations, one on each side of the road. The one on the northbound road has a long, wide exit lane, which makes for an excellent hitching spot.
=== Northeast to [[Lithuania]] ===
====Through [[Bagrationovsk]]====
=== East West into Kaliningrad region===
