Kiel is a city in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

Hitchhiking out

Direction Hamburg/South - Flensburg/North/Denmark

Take the Bus No.82 to station "IKEA", there is a huge cross. The best option is to stand on the green strip where cars turn to one's left. Either you can stand straight in front of the traffic light – the driver has enough time to wave you in – or just stand 100 meters behind the traffic light, works too.

Try to hitch either in the morning between 6 and 8 or in the afternoon between 3 and 6.you'll have the most traffic, because lots of people are on their way to or back from work and can often give you a ride straight to Hamburg. Try to avoid to hitch between 08:00 and 10:00, traffic is low and most people head to destinations close around Kiel.

After a while the motorway splits.Hamburg A215, direction Flensburg A210. A lot of cars do have the sign "RD" (Rendsburg), so you might focus these cars if you want to go north...

= Direction Berlin

From the main station take bus No.41, 42 or 71 till bus-stop "Stormarnstraße", follow the roundabout till directory "Grünes Herz" and hold out your sign.

Another option is to take the next bus-station after "Stormarnstraße", get out just behind the bridge, cars also have here a nice chance to pick up hitchhikers. Try to get a lift straight to Berlin or at least a petrol station on the A24, otherwise you might get lost..
