Hitching Out

If you want to get out of Oslo, it's proven difficult in the inner city. There are several highway entrances behind the tunnel, the further out, the easier it gets.

North towards Trondheim

The trip to Trondheim takes one day.

Around IKEA (Furuset] is an area where most trucks start. There is a petrol station on the E6 direction North which can be reached walking from metro station "Trosterud", East of the centre.

abstorz was able to hitch a ride onto the highway behind the tunnel in the area of Etterstad, but it can't be bad to get even further out of the city. Once on the highway everything went fine.

South towards Göteborg and Stockholm

If you want to go South-East via the [[E6] take metro no. 3 to "Mortensrud" and get off at the last station, then cross the bridge over metro track and walk for about 300 meters. You will enter petrol station on motorway E6. Ask drivers there. Very good spot!

You can also take the regional train going "Ski" and get off at "Nordstrand" station, one stop after Oslo-S. Once at Nordstrand, turn left and go down the little hill. The large road with a lot of traffic is the E18. You can walk about 5-10 minutes in the direction of Oslo (turning right) to the Ulvøya Island crossroad. There is a bus stop right after a traffic light and you can get picked up quite easily. Have a sign and avoid anyone going in the direction of Stockholm.

West towards Bergen

To get to Bergen, take the local train out to "Sandvika", from where you can either take a bus or walk along the road (quite a few k's) until it turns from dual carriageway to a simple country road, where you can just hitch along the side.

Alternatively take the train to "Honefoss", walk up the hill and out to the road, and there is an information point where it's easy for drivers to pull in- all traffic from Oslo to Bergen goes past this point.
