'''Rostock''' is a city in the north-east of [[Germany]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== West towards [[Hamburg]], East towards [[Szczecin]] , {{Ade|20}} ===Take tram 2 or 5 to Südblick (the last stop). Walk in the direction of the tram out of the city. There is [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=10096 a good hitching spot at the bus stop] about 200 meters from the tram stop. Bring a sign that says 'A20 OSTost' or 'A20 WESTwest'.
You can also follow the directions above and try to hitch with people taking the A19 to the A20, but only accept rides from people taking the A20 because it is impossible to stop at the intersection.
Check timetables [http://www.scandlines.eu/tickets-and-prices/sailing-table here].
====North towards [[Denmark]]====The ferries leave every two hours, along with Bus 40. Just follow the signs for the ferry to [[Gedser]]or ask the staff outside , which was really friendly, for direction . It´s probably best to ask the cars queueing in front of the ticket booths, or before they buy them at the ticket offices. Drivers pay for their car regardless of the amount of passengers, and they can add passengers to their ticket at the booths. The queues are much shorter in the winter so it´s harder to speak to the drivers before they get to the booths. If you´re going to Copenhagen you can also hitch to Sweden, Trelleborg, then across across through Malmo into Copehagen. These ferries go less often and have longer queues for hitching, but the journey takes several hours. If no one picks you up, the passenger fee of EUR 7.50 is reasonable. As a pedestrian you have to catch the pedestrian-passengers-bus 30min before departure, so be there on time. On the 1hr 45min trip, you can ask other drivers if they are going in your direction. It's really easy to get a ride to [[Copenhagen]]. '''''I think this ferry is pay per passenger, not pay per car:''' '' ''In 2014 I hitched a car that took this ferry, but from Gedser to Rostock. My luck there was no person at the terminal getting on the ship in Gedser, only a computer scanning the driver's ticket and asking how many people there are in the car. His company ticket had "1 person" written on it, I asked the driver to hit the button for 1 person. He did and the bar lifted up. I don't know what would have happened had he pushed the button for two people in car.''
If you don't find anyone to hitchhike with, the student fare with TT Line to Trelleborg is currently (27th March 2013) 16 € (but 32 € regular!), Stena charges 26 € for everyone. You need to be there 30 minutes before departure.
The ferries to [[Helsinki]] apparently charge based on the number of passengers, but maybe you can make a deal with a driver.
== Sleeping ==
The ticket sales place in the ferry port is open 24 hours and they let you sleep there. One can find a quiet corner to sleep in the train station too, but the police seem to always check your papers in the night. People piss a lot around the station but you can find clean spots too. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki =={{nomadwiki}}
