=== hitchhiking places ===
==== petrol station near Krähenstieg ====
Take Tram 9 in Magdeburg towards ''Neustädter See'' and get out at ''Krähenstieg''. Walk to left, crossing the left where you see a lot of old apartment blocks tracks and go the street. Turn right into after the tower-like building and walk down the street there. After some meters you will recognize the petrol station behind some trees on the left side. It is directly located along the ''B71'' and is connected with the ramp ''Magdeburg-Centrum'' which leads you towards direction [[Berlin]] or [[Hannover]].
In the afternoon you meet a lot of people who just go to their home villages in Jerichower Land (number plate JL), Ohrekreis (OK) or Sachsen-Anhalt West (SAW) but there are also cars going longer distances. '''Be careful:''' Some people reported that employees of the station told them to leave because "it is forbidden to talk to the car owners". They tried to make the hitchhikers leave and threatened to call the police. There are speculations that this depends on the daytime, your appeareance appearance and the presence of certain employees or the boss.
==== service station Börde ====
Another option (but including a longer bus ride) is the service station ''[[Börde Nord]]'' and ''[[Börde Süd]]'', a pretty nice starting point for hitchhikers:. However, it includes a longer bus ride starting at the central bus station ''Damaschkeplatz'' behind ''Hauptbahnhof''.
You may can also take bus number 618 towards ''Rottmersleben'' until ''Groß Santersleben''. Form here you need to take the Mammendorfer Weg (direction southwest). You will first see the service station Börde Nord ([[A2 (Germany)|A2]] westbound) and after you've passed the bridge you will find a path to Börde Süd ([[A2 (Germany)|A2]] eastbound and [[(A14 (Germany)|A14]]) on the left side.
==== Leipziger Chaussee/Salbker Chaussee ====
Some cars take this way when they are leaving Magdeburg to the south. You can either ask at the petrol station or the traffic lights. Unfortunately, many cars are leaving the Autobahn before they pass the next service station.
Take bus 57 till until "Flughafen" and walk westwards crossing one traffic light. On the right side is the petrol station, on the left side is the last traffic light before the Autobahn where there is a lot of place for cars to pull over for you on the central reservation of the street. Only cars turning left go towards the Autobahn.
