Puttgarden is Germany's gate to Scandinavia. There is a car/train ferry port with ferries to Rødby in Denmark.

In 2007, Germany and Denmark decided to build a 19km long bridge from Puttgarden to Rødby, which will be finished in 2018.

Make sure to also have a look at the Rødby article.

Hitching Out

North towards Rødbyhavn, Denmark

Cars and drivers waiting to get on to the ferry, great for finding a ride to Copenhagen or even far up north into Scandinavia

Usually hitchhikers can get over for free because every vehicle can take 9 passengers with it, so there might be place for you anywhere. If you are searching for a lift you should tell people about this possibility – otherwise they might not take you with them just because they think it's too complicated or they'll have to pay.

You can probably easily find a ride to Copenhagen or Malmö in Sweden. Also, the ferry passage for foot passengers is for free after 9PM! (as Scandinaïve was told by an employee) But this might be no option for you because it's comparatively hard to find lifts in Rødbyhavn. But you can also ask people on the ferry.

South towards Lübeck, Hamburg

If you're coming from Denmark, you can try to find a car on the ferry that might bring you somewhere on the motorway. If not, you have to hitch a ride where all the cars are leaving the ferry. It's always a lot of cars at once when a ferry arrives and then nothing for the next 30 minutes. There is also a petrol station 1–2 km away, where you might be lucky, too.
