If heading towards [[Poland]], choose carefully which of the several border crossings you want to take. If you are just crossing Poland and heading for Waiting times tend to be long at all crossings. The [[GermanyMedyka-Shehyni border crossing]] or further West, you should definitely take is the only one open to pedestrians.

=== West towards [[Krakovets]], [[Rzeszów]], [[Kraków]], [[Germany]] === If you want to hitch towards Rzeszów and anywhere far away (even towards [[Warsaw]] consider the route via Rzeszów) you should stick to the [[Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing]], because most cars going a long distance pass by this border crossing.

Take bus #125 from If you want to hitch towards Rzeszów and anywhere far away, you have at least two options. <br>Both the [[Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing]] and the central train station to [[Medyka-Shehyni border crossing]] are frequented by people driving long distances towards Kraków, [[Wrocław]] or Germany. The majority is local traffic though. Taking the ''Medyka-Shehyni border crossing'' is probably the last stop in Ryasny ruske faster option, as you can cross on foot (''Рясне-Руськеnot''possible in Krakovets), walk which will save you the time needed to find a bit further until you're directly behind ride across the border, wait in the road crossing where cars queue with them and even trucks have a lot undergo inspections of space to stopthe car. Crossing on foot should be much faster.

To get to the ''Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing'', take bus #125 from the central train station to the last stop in Ryasny ruske (''Рясне-Руське''), walk a bit further until you're directly behind the road crossing where cars and even trucks have a lot of space to stop. <br>Here the ring road traffic passes by as well. In case you get a ride until or over the border you can patiently stay there to find a long ride as.

=== Northeast toward [[Rivne]], [[Kyiv|Kiev]] {{E|40}} M06 ===

Take marshrutka (minibus) #8, #14, #36A or #39 from near the Shevchenko monument in the city center. Go till the last stop ''Halytske perehrestya'' '''(Галицьке перехрестя)''' (except for #14 which goes a bit further, so ask the driver to stop at ''Halytske perehrestya''). All the buses stop in the middle of kinda market square. Look around, there must be a bus stop and a gas station hundred meters leftward and a bridge. Go under the bridge and walk 100m ahead.

[[File:Lviv-Kiev_HH_spot.JPG|350px|thumb|right|Lviv towards Kiev Kyiv hitchhiking spot]] === West towards [[Przemyśl]] ([[Poland]]) M11 ===It's a fast way to Poland, because you don't have to cross in a car, but be aware that there is mostly local traffic going to polish supermarkets and doing business in the border region.  From the central train station, you have two options. First lazy one is to take the minibus, which costs 15 UAH (Nov 2009) and might be on the road for some 2 hours. For more, check the information below. Second option is to walk down the road from the train station, at the crossing walk to the right, pass the small local train station, follow the road for another 500m (along a gas station), and walk right again at the next crossing. There you'll find a bus stop which is easy and fine to hitchhike rides out of town, which otherwise would be some 2 or 3 km of walking at least. Let you bring to the "Metro" shopping center thing, there you'll find a huge roundabout which roads going all directions, including Shehyni. There's also a very nice hitchhiking spot 100m further off the roundabout, with a restaurant next to it and satisfying light installations for night hitchhikers. This direction enters Poland at the [[Medyka-Shehyni border crossing]].

Take marshrutka (mini bus) #3624 on Local railway station, it goes to Mytna square (Площа Митна). Then take mini bus #68 or #75 105 to ''Vynnyky'' '''(Винники)'''. This mini bus goes just to the circle road. You can hitch within the city limits or walk east along the main road for about 1 0.5 km and start hitching after the bypassbig billboard which stand over the road. There is free place for cars to stop, nd visibility is also very good.

Take marshrutka (minibus) №160 or trolley №11 from ploshcha Petrushevycha to Kiltseva (Ring road). Start to hitchhike behind the Ring road. (marshrutka (minibus) №160 does not go)

== Public transportation Minibus to Polish border ==

=== Mini bus to Polish border === Not exactly hitching, but you You can get a marshrutka (minibus) from the train station going Western Bus Station to the closest Polish border point, the [[Medyka-Shehyni border crossing]], which is not far from [[Przemyśl]] in Poland and it is allowed to cross on foot. This minibus costs 25 around 80 UAH as of September 2014(no credit card, year 2020). Look or ask for one that says to ''Lviv - Shegyni'' (Львів-Шегині).

To reach Bryukhovychi forest is more difficult as since some years there has been no public transport between Lviv and Bryukhovychi. Sure you can take a taxi or walk on feet but if that doesn't feet fit you just use the Vynnyky forest option.
