Lübeck is a very nice old city in the north of Germany.

It is connected with two federal motorways: the A1 from Fehmarn (and via the E47 to Puttgarden) to Hamburg. The A20 leads from Lübeck to Nadrensee at the polish border (near Szczecin). There is still a missing gap from the A20 to the A14 between Schwerin and Wismar. That's why most hitchhikers prefer to go to Berlin from Lübeck via Hamburg (choosing the A1).

Hitching Out

South, West towards Hamburg

Getting out of Lübeck to the A1 in the direction of Hamburg is terrible easy! There is a very good hitching spot in the street Bei der Lohmühle – Coming from the main street Fackenburger Allee stay on the right side and choose a point about 200 meters after the big crossing, in front of the roundabout. There is a bicycle lane, so just beware of bicycles while standing there. With a sign Hamburg you usually wait less then 5 minutes. To get there from the city center, walk through the Holstentor, cross the next bridge (that one marked as Puppet bridge) and keep right at the roundabout to get to the Fackenburger Allee. Just walk this street for about 10 minutes, then turn right into Bei der Lohmühle. You can also take the buses #19 or #9 from the center, direction Bad Schwartau and get out at Ibishotel.

Public transport

Like in most German cities, you can get "hitches" at the main train station too, sharing group tickets. At the weekend you can ask people if they travel with the Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket (Nice-weekend-ticket) to get to Hamburg or other cities (sometimes you're asked to contribute some money to the ticket prices, which is 33 Euros). From Monday till Friday you can ask peope for a Schleswig-Holstein-Ticket für Gruppen (group ticket in the land Schleswig-Holstein) if you want to go to a city in the area of Schleswig-Holstein (Kiel, Neumünster, Heide, Rendsburg etc.).

Sleep

There are two new hostels, both located near to the important sightseeing spots in the old center of the city. In addition Lübeck has a lot of members in the couchsurfing community and the hospitality club, it's easy to find a place to sleep for free if you're member there.
