Potsdam is home to the first official hitchhiking spot in [[Germany]]. It is located on B2 'Leipziger Straße' ('Michendorfer Allee') next to the Potsdam DB main train station - which leads to 'Rastanlage [[Michendorf]]' on '[[Berliner Ring]]' (E 30/ [[A10 (Germany)|A 10]]).
 
  
To reach [http://tank.rast.de/standorte/suche/detail.html?ID=254 Rastanlage Michendorf] on 'Berliner Ring' (E 30/ A 10) via A 115, take Suburban Train S7 to 'Nikolassee' Station (four stops), leave the DB station in the direction of 'Wannsee', walk along 'Borussen Straße' and 'Spanische Alee' (only two minutes) to the petrol station as well as rest-area [http://tank.rast.de/standorte/suche/detail.html?ID=135 Grunewald West]. From there it should be very-very easy to reach 'Berliner Ring' and 'Rastanlage Michendorf'. Build a cardboard sign with 'Ring', 'Michendorf' or even your final destination on it. If you plan to go eastward into [[Poland]] or westward to 'Ruhrgebiet', go to 'Michendorf' first. The lift 'Spanische Allee' - 'Michendorf' should not take longer than ten minutes. An alternative to reach Michendorf is to take DB regional train RB22 from 'Potsdam Hauptbahnhof' to 'Schönefeld Airport' to get off at 'Michendorf Station'. The walk from the station takes around 20 minutes. There are three supermarkets on the way to the [[Autobahn]].
