Get off at the [[Capellen ]] stop and walk less than 1 km west to some of the biggest petrol stations in Europe! Walk towards the motorway which you can see from the train station and take the first road right alongside the fields. After 5 minutes you will come to the petrol station fence. There is a hole near You can climb over the locked fence, but the top is spiked. It's better to turn right, and walk along the fence for about 250 metres, and climb through (BE CAREFUL)over it at the first section with a stone-wall. Many truck drivers use this service station. I was waiting less than 10 minutes.# Follow the Route d'Arlon to the entry onto the A6/[[E25]]. This is a walk of about 4km from the town center. You can partially use bus 7. From the sliproad you can get a ride straight to [[Brussels]], but if that fails, the above mentioned Capellen stop ('aire de Capellen') is just about 10km down the road, and from there you can get rides to about anywhere in [[Belgium]] and the [[Netherlands]].

Here you can [[hitchhiking|hitchhike]] at the junction after the bridge and across from the Fiat car garage. This road goes to Martelange and the North.
=== East ([[Trier]], [[Germany]]) ==='''The better option'''Just walk out of the centre to the ''Avenue John Fitzgerald Kennedy'' in direction Kirchberg. You have plenty of options will find many banks, institutes and the Luxembourg fair (LuxExpo) there. You can hitch on every spot where cars can stop on this road and even in side roads and secondary roads which will involve going are leading to the town this avenue. Make sure holding a [[Trier]] [[signs|sign]]. There are masses of Martelange people from Trier working in Luxembourg Kirchberg and especially on working days you won't have to wait long. This small town Hold a Trier sign even if you want to get further, if this is famous for plenty of drivers due to the cheap fuel provided by dozens of case, you can be dropped at [[Wasserbillig]] service stations station on the motorway A1. A sign is very important for drivers going to making the Belgian Limburgpeople from Trier stop, Dutch Limburg, and Aachen, etcwhich will be your drivers here.
Option 1'''On Sundays'''Traffic flow is lower on the weekends, so the above-mentioned place may not work on Sundays.Get train from Luxembourg city station You can instead take bus 16 to Arlonthe stop just before the airport. Walk left out This bus stop is next to an entrance to the highway and you can either stand in front of station, keep following the Bastogne road signs bus stop with a sign or stand on a little traffic light island at the entrance so that you get all the traffic going towards a roundabout which Trier that is coming from both directions. Get a 20 minute walk. Here you can hitch hike lift at least as far as the junction after huge petrol station on the bridge border, and across from the Fiat car garage. This road goes then it is easier to Martelangehitch further.
Option 2.'''The train option'''Get the Trier/Wasserbillig (line 30) train from Luxembourg city City station for EUR 2.00. Get off at the Wasserbillig stop. You should turn right outside the train station , walking up the road and turning left up the Route d'Echternach until you reach a crossing beside a big river. This option takes 30 minutes but there are beautiful views to Arlonbe seen. On normal weekdays You will notice that there is a service from platform 6 an old pathway going up the hill. If you follow this route you should arrive at two old cabins. Turn left at the Arlon transport station for Martelangecabin closest to you and walk further up the hill until you reach another crossing under the massive motorway bridge. The times are Go right at 07hthis and keep climbing the hill until you reach a more developed road.

Option 3.=== South ([[Metz]], [[France]]) (E25/A3) ===Get the line 60 train from Luxembourg City station for EUR 2.00, or avoid the controller for 2 stops. Get off at the [[Berchem]] stop. There are 2 exits from the station. Take the closest one, don't take the stairs. And walk less than 2 km to some of the biggest motorway petrol stations in Europe! Take the first little path to the residential area (Rue Oscar Romero), pass a tiny roundabout and walk up towards the fields. Then you have a beautiful path through the fields straight ahead. You'll pass by generous walnut and apple trees, you'll have to climb over small cattle fences, and might say hi to some animals. Otherwise: Turn left when you leave the Berchem train station, walk down the road 5 minutes and the second main road on the right is Rue Meckenheck. Take Meckenheck up winding through a residential area all the way up to where it ends, at which point there is a big forest. Turn right onto Du Bois, and follow it curving around to the left. You should hear the highway and pretty soon you will arrive at a bridge[https://www.google.ca/maps/place/49%C2%B032'40.2%22N+6%C2%B007'18.3%22E/@49.544506,6.119553,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d49.544506!4d6.121747?hl=en] that runs over the highway. Just before the bridge is the south-side petrol station, with loads of cars heading north towards Luxembourg city , Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. Walk over the bridge and immediately at the end of it go down to the highway, through the concrete pavement or stairs, and walk 50m alongside of it until the station. There are vehicles traveling all over [[Europe]]. Luck varies: one person waited 10 minutes at the petrol station exit but another waited a good 30 minutes before finding someone on their way to Ettelbruck Metz.You can also reach the petrol stationby hitching from the roundabout that is located right at the start of the highways. Then get bus 530 (Not an ideal place for cars to stop, but lots of people go in that direction perle-school) to Martelange town.

The national options involves turning right outside the train Take bus number 18 (from Central stationto direction Kockelscheuer, Patinoire).
