Take the tram #1 In general, hitching from Halle to Magdeburg (but also further on in direction of Hannover) is a nightmare. Drivers can go via the last stop exits ''Frohe ZukunftTrotha'' and hitch directly at the road with a sign. Especially locals will avoid the longer route via the B100 and drive this way towards the on-ramp , ''Tornau''or the Bundestraße B100. In the afternoon or morning it could be easier to catch a ride, but also some navigation systems lead you this waysince quite a few people commute between Halle and Magdeburg.

''Option 1'': Take tram #3, #8 or #12 to the last stop ''Trotha''. Go back to the traffic light where the tram turned and walk 500m along Trothaer Straße (later Magdeburger Chaussee) until you reach an Aral station. Try hitching at the station or stand by the road. After the Aral station there is a shoulder, but it is not tarmaced and not really good to stop. Further up the road there might be a better spot. In the last village ''Beidersee'' there is a bus stop just 750m before the on-ramp where people can easily stop. The service station ''Plötzetal'' is very close from here it is after the next exit ''Löbejün''. If your driver goes to Könnern ask them to go via the highway and drop you at the service station.  ''Option 2:''Take the tram #1 to the last stop ''Frohe Zukunft'' and hitch directly at the road with a sign. Especially locals will avoid the longer route via the B100 and drive this way towards the on-ramp ''Tornau'', but also some navigation systems lead you this way. You can accept a lift to the on-ramp, although there is no shoulder to stop. ''Option 3'': The Aral station near ''Wasserturm''. The best way is probably to stand by the road while keeping an eye on the cars at the station.  [[User:N0id|n0id]] hitched here only once, but got a direct lift after 10 minutes to Magdeburg (he usually waited at the spot in Frohe Zukunft, but a second time proved to be as bad as the Aral stations station near Wasserturm where it took usually one hour or more while getting many. Although he tried it only once, many offers to Berlin)the first option might be the best.
