== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[Nürnberg]] {{Autobahn|9}} ===Option 1: Take the ''Subway 6'' to ''Studentenstadt''. From there walk about 300 m north on ''Ungererstraße'' until you are under a bridge. You will see signs for the motorways. This leads directly to the and [[A9 (Germany)|A9Passau]], a quick and easy route to [[Berlin]] or [[NürnbergVienna]]. For i.e. [[Cologne{{Autobahn|Köln]] it is best to stop at the ''Rasthof Nürnberg/Feucht'' as the freeways converge here. To continue on [[A93 (Germany)|A93]], i.e. [[Regensburg]] and [[Dresden]] you can change the car at ''Rasthof Fürholzen'' some 30km north of Munich.:The roadworks mentioned by Sitarane are now finished. Although traffic wasn't heavy, I found this to be an excellent spot and got a ride out within ten minutes.:It is illegal for cars to stop here so when one does, it might be best to take it to the next Rasthof and continue from there if they aren't going far.92}} ===
'''Option 2: Take subway 6 to Nordfriedhof. Follow the road for 100 m and find your way through the bushes. But be beware of the ants! The cars are fast there but can easily stop because there are two lanes merging into one.1'''
Take Subway 6 to Nordfriedhof. Take the north-west exit from the station (front-left if you go from the city centre). On your right you will see a two-lane road going out of a tunnel. This is the [https://www.googlegoo.degl/maps?q=f%C3%BCrholzen+rastst%C3%A4tte&hl=de&ie=UTF8&ll=48/obkGF7RQtstNRbrJ6| spot]. You can get there crossing the bushes on its right side. Beware of the ants.333958The cars are fast there but can easily stop, because only one lane is open for cars,11which makes the second a perfect place to stop.

'''Option 3''' Raststätte Fürholzen rest stop Take the S1 to Eching. Follow the road next to the station in the same direction of travel (north-east) as the train you leave. Walk under the autobahn bridge, once you are at first the crossing over the S Bahn take the bike path, it will turn a bit. You will go over another bridge and then need to head to Fürholzen. Once in the town, walk through it until you take Günzenhauser Straße to your left. Follow the road around to the right and you will see the Autobahn. Raststätte Fürholzen is then in front of you. Be sure to study the map in advance and take note that it's a 5–6 km walk.006899&t=h&hq=f%C3%BCrholzen+rastst%C3%A4tte&z=16 The Google Map Link spot is great. Alternative way: take the S1 to Eching. Pass under the railway to the side where the trains head back towards Munich City and walk the bike path along the railway in the direction you arrived by train until you reach the first bridge that goes over the railway around 100 m. Shortly before the bridge, turn left to reach the road coming down from the bridge Paul-Käsmeier-Straße. At this crossing you can hitchhike easily to the next town Günzenhausen and walk towards Fürholzen!]. This road will pass under the motorway. A few meters later you'll find a small road to the petrol station Fürholzen Ost
=== Southeast towards [[Salzburg]], [[Vienna]], [[Innsbruck]], [[Italy]] {{Autobahn|8}} ===
=== South towards [[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]] {{Autobahn|95}} ===
=== Southwest towards [[Landsberg]], [[Memmingen]], [[Lindau]], [[Switzerland]], [[Austria]] (Vorarlberg), [[Italy]] {{Autobahn|96}} ===
First service station on the A96 is the Rasthof Lechwiesen close to Landsberg, you can change cars here to go further. If you want to travel to any city on the Lake Constance (Bodensee), look out for Swiss and Austrian cars as they all have to pass Lindau where they can come off the highway to drop you off and get back on it again easily - and this only takes them 2 minutes out of their way. Ask to be dropped off at the last exit (Exit 2, Lindau) before the border to Austria, there is a roundabout close to a petrol station and McD that works well in any direction. '''Option 1''' The A96 begins inside of Munich. Close to the on-ramps of the motorway there is a petrol station (Aral) on Garmischer Straße that is frequented by many people before they go onto the motorway. It's pretty big From Heimeranplatz bus line 63, direction Forstenrieder Allee. Exit at stop Garmischer strasse and the traffic flow is good therewalk for few minutes. I got a lift to Konstanz within 20 minutes of waiting there.
=== West towards [[Augsburg]], [[Ulm]], [[Stuttgart]] {{Autobahn|8}} {{European Route Number|52}} ===
From the central railway station (''Hauptbahnhof''), take tram S2 towards ''Petershausen''. Get out at ''Obermenzing''. There along the street you can either walk the 2-3 km towards the motorway, or take bus #143 towards ''4 stops to Blutenburg''stop.
The bus #143 stop is across the road from the S2 exit. If the bus is not leaving for a while, you can easily hitchhike at the traffic lights nearby. I would advise putting 'Augsburg' on the sign. There is a service station , Rasthof Augsburg, just before this town, expect a long waiting time at Augsburg.
This stop is located directly in front of a roundabout, and KFC where the [[A8 (Germany)|A8]] highway for direction west starts. There's enough place for cars to stop in front of the [[roundabout]]. Expect high traffic. Literally stuck my hand out here and got a ride within 30 seconds. There are so many cars here! For the petrol-station-lover, some meters before a small petrol station is located, so if you're bored, go asking people there. Make sure to carry a sign where you want to go as the motorway will split after 2 km towards different directions. It is really easy to get a lift from there.
This is also a great way to get to Frankfurt as you can hitch to Ulm, north to Würzburg and then west to Frankfurt.
=== North and South {{Autobahn|99}} ===
The A99 is the Munich ring road (http://www.autobahnatlas-online.de/A99.htm). While not as accurate as other south south/north bound jumping off points, the service station Rasthof Vaterstetten Ost is a good point if seeking to get lifts from long-distance lorry drivers, many of whom stay overnight here. This service station is located at the A99 in Feldkirchen. It is located only 2 km from the S-Bahn station Vaterstetten and requires walking through the small village to the back of the service station. 1,000 trucks or more park here here every night with many more passing through, heading north and south. While I would not like to sleep here (with a 1,000 plus lonely men), its a excellent place when heading both north and south. Make sure to carry a sign indicating what motorway who are hoping to take. For example, the A8 to the the South and East or the A94 to Passau. If you come at night or sunday (or any other time, if you're a daredevil), then you could check out the container of a bio supermarket which is on the way. == Sleeping & Eating ===== Couchsurfing/BeWelcome Airport "Franz-Josef-Strauss" ===Contact [[User:seee]] (CSMaybe not the most comfortable place to sleep, but always open and not busy at night is the airport Franz-username seee, BWJosef-username PhSeeStrauss at A92 (from Regensburg). He´s so bored of people doing boring interrail-tripsHitchhiking away from there late in the evening is a pain, but if you end up there, that he decided only to host hitchhikers anymoreyou can count on a dry and warm night. There is no waiting hall (there are no flights at night) but enough restaurants where you can pick your bench and toilets are open any time.
=== Main Train Station ===
Located in the center and always open is the Munich main train station. If you get stuck in the city, this is probably a better solution than the airport which unfortunately is pretty far outside of Munich, but don't expect it to be more comfortable. There is no a small waiting hall on the mezzanine level and only a few benches on the platforms, but it . It is common to find some people resting on the first floor of the main entrance hall (right next to Burger King) and tolerated by the Deutsche Bahn security guards as long as you don't intend to crash there for more than a single night. If asked, just tell them you wait for a train that leaves early in the morning and they usually leave you alone. You can sneek sneak into the toilets of the two Burger King restaurants around (free, but closed from about 3:30am), or use the toilets of the main train station (50ct minimum). Another advantage over the airport is that it's quite easy to get back to any hitchhiking spot from here. === Studentenstadt ===If you want to meet loads of students and really cheap drinks - rare in Munich - come to Studentenstadt (Subway U6 north of the city centre). It's the largest student accomodation in Munich. You might find somebody to host you - without any guarantee. There is a perfect place for camping, about 5 mins from Studentenstadt station - in the English Gardens. Try to pitch your tent at night time, after all you are in Bavaria. === Stattpark Olga ===It's a wagenburg (place where people live in their campervans). Usually they are open for travellers and they have guest van for sleeping, but come to this place not so late and firstly meet with a people. They also have a lot of place where you can put a tent. You can find there freeshop with books and clothes. The collective of this place organise some meetings, shows, etc. [http://olga089.blogsport.de/ "Stattpark OLGA", Boschetsrieder Straße 109] === Kafe Marat ===If you arrive on Friday you can get really good, cheap and vegan dinner in the [http://kafemarat.blogsport.de/englisch Kafe Marat, Thalkirchener Straße 102] (maybe also on wednesdays?). It's a self-organized, more left wing place. Drinks are also really cheap there. Food normally is ready at around 20:30. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
