== 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 [[A9 (Germany)|A9]], a quick and easy route to [[Berlin]] or [[Nürnberg]]. For i.e. [[Cologne|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.

'''====Option 2'''==== [[File:Hhnorth.jpg|thumb|200px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: North - option 2]][[File:201708 MUN Nordfriedhof dirN.jpg|thumb|200px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: North - option 2 in summer]][[File:201708 MUN Nordfriedhof look-east.jpg|thumb|200px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: North, option 2 in summer, looking west where cars come out of the tunnel]] 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 spot. You can get there crossing the bushes on it's right side. Beware of the ants. The cars are fast there but can easily stop, because only one lane is open for cars, what makes the second a perfect place to stop.:Option 2 seems to be a lot better than the above, for two reasons. First, there is a lot of space for cars to stop. Second, all cars on this road go straight for the highway. The spot is in the shade until midday (in summer at least).
''July 2015: Option 2 worked extremely well, getting us out of the city in less than an hour to Fürholzen raststation, which is a magnifique spot - we talked to three different people in a half an hour, ending up getting a ride all the way to Hamburg. Stand on the corner between the restaurant entrance and the car park and you'll get a chance to talk to most of the people around. Lots of cars from northern Germany, Netherlands and Denmark''
''End of August 2017, workday, 9am, middle amount of traffic, Sign "N", got taken after 40min.', few ants'" ''End of December 2017: This place worked great for me. I was there on Friday the 23rd, just before Christmas. Got a ride up to Nürnberg with a sign stating 'A9' within 5 minutes. People drive relative slow coming from a turn out the tunnel and I saw many looking at the sign.'Option 3' ''August 2019: Great place, about 10 minutes of waiting, going to Regensburg. Saturday, 1PM, no sign, ants still here'' ====Option 3====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 autobahnbridge, 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. The spot is great, but it is not that easy to reach it. [http://goo.gl/maps/8oQK Here's a map]
OR: 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 100m). Shortly before the bridge, turn left to reach the road coming down from the bridge (Paul-Käsmeier-Straße). At this crossing (marked with B in [http://goo.gl/maps/AOYSz this map]) , you can hitchhike easily to the next town Günzenhausen and walk towards Fürholzen. This road will underpass the motorway, few meters later you'll find a small road to the petrol station "Fürholzen Ost" (marked as C in the same [http://goo.gl/maps/AOYSz map]).
''August 2016: Option 3 worked very well. If you are around the airport area, then Eching is only 4 S-bahn stops away (~15 mins by S1). The walk from Eching to Raststätte Fürholzen is about 1 hour, but it is possible to hitchhike on the way. At Raststätte Fürholzen I only needed 20 mins or so to find a lift to nearby Würzburg (where I found another lift to eventually get me to Bremen). Many cars were going in the direction of the Netherlands, some going to the North. I hitched on a Sunday, so many cars were full already (with passengers and bags) as people return home from vacations. Still, the spot were full of cars and there were some with empty seats.''
 
''April 2017: Option 3 is not recommended, as service station Fürholzen is currently under construction and closed for traffic.''
=== Southeast towards [[Salzburg]], [[Vienna]], [[Innsbruck]], [[Italy]] {{Autobahn|8}} ===
=== Raststätte Holzkirchen ===
The busy Holzkirchen petrol station on the autobahn is one of the last opportunities to buy the windsheild sticker required for the Austrian autobahn so this spot has a lot of traffic. Getting there takes over an hour (30 minutes on the train and a 3.5km just over 4km walk - if the weather is good the walk is nice thoughthrough fields and forest) but it's easy to find a lift once you're thereas it is quite crowded- easiest towards Innsbruck and Italy, you might wait longer towards elsewhere. Take the S3 (direction Holzkirchen) and get out at Otterfing. Walk in the same direction your train was going for 200 meters then turn left over the bridge (''Bridge currently under construction - August 2014''). Follow this road (Kreuzstrasse) for 2.5km through fields and a forest until you reach the Autobahn. Turn right just before the road goes under the autobahn. Follow this road past the solar panels until the entrance of another tunnel under the autobahn, from here you should be able to see the petrol station ahead. Cut through the field to reach it (you don't need to jump any fences, to enter walk around the fence, to exit use the gap where the fence changes design). Edit 2018: this is not correct! It is much longer than this says, I could not find this supposed short route in July 2018 and it wouldn't even make sense with the map. You will go from the Otterfing train station south and turn left over the bridge as stated then take a right on a path through fields. There are several dirt roads going left through the field, take one and you will eventually arrive at the forest and find a sign. You walk through this for a ways and end up in another field with more paths you follow a bit north through a cow farm with solar panels on the roof that eventually leads to the gas station. With a pack the walk takes about an hour.
=== Autobahn 92 ===
=== 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''. (Can't recall final destination/name of direction)
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, which is '''closed as of May 2013''', expect a long waiting time at Augsburg - as long as Rasthof Augsburg is closed it's better find a ride all the way to Ulm. '''Update:''' When Insa and [[User:Jan|Jan]] were at the Augsburg station on 15 May 2013, the construction work was apparently just finished. Still, Apparently the spot is a bit hard – but its quite a big station -but if you go around and ask people you should manage.
This stop is located directly in front of a roundabout, and KFC where the [[A8 (Germany)|A8]] 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.
(Edit - Jan 2017, I got off at blutenberg as suggested, but couldn't find a roundabout, I ended up hitching at 'blutenburg` bus stop which is next to a small petrol station, got picked up in 5 minutes)
This is also a great way to get to Frankfurt as you can hitch to Ulm, north to Würzburg and then west to Frankfurt.
=== 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", Tumblinger Str. 62Boschetsrieder Straße 109]
