Kolding is a city in Denmark.

Hitchhiking out

South/West towards Flensburg, Tønder, Germany

Head towards the southern part of the city (bus 4 & 5) towards Knud Hansens Vej, from there you can walk to the road that's going to the motorway, it's called Tankedalsvej and in theory it's illegal to walk along it towards the motorway but it's not really enforced. There's also a petrol station at the big cross near Tankedalsvej but Pebermayn can't recommend using it since it's mostly locals and not people leaving the city.

North/East towards Århus, Copenhagen

There are 2 good options going this way.

Option 1 (closest to the citycentre) Take the bus number three towards Petersbjerggård and walk north on Fynsvej, there is a petrol station and a nice spot where cars can stop. If you don't want to use the bus it takes about 20 minutes to walk there from the train-station.

Option 2 (more traffic) If you take the bus jump on bus 5 heading to Kokholm and get out at the big Scandic hotel. from the hotel you can see the onramps. If you are the walking type find Vejlevej and just keep following it away for city centre until you are at the onramps near the Scandic hotel. The walk is almost an hour.

Option 3 (From the south of the city) Walk south along Holbergsvej and continue walking on the trail into the forest area. Follow the asphalted trail to bottom of the valley and make a right, when you face the forked path. This will lead you to the rest area on the motorway.

West towards Esbjerg, United Kingdom

Go to Ny Esbjergvej just across from the big shopping mall (Kolding Storcenter), you can use bus 5 going to Kokholm or bus 15 going to the mall, it's a spot with a lot of traffic going a lot of different places so a sign is a huge help. you can't miss the signs when you are there. Use this road if heading for the ferries to UK.

Hitchhiking in

Accommodation and Sleep

Check Couchsurfing, it really shouldn't be a problem to find a host here since there are quite a few people using the city as a pause point between Germany and Sweden

Other useful info

The city is often used as a stopping point if you are going to Copnehagen/Sweden from Germany.
