Not pickup after 6 hours in Airport Berlin-Schönefeld

I wanted to go to Usti-nad-laben (after Dresden) I was there. I arive there around 12pm I waited, waited. I trusted this place because on hitchwiki it's was write that it's the best place to go to dresden. The only trafic sign was Dresden by highway and I had a big sign Dresden. I was confident to find a lift. I waited, waited, a lot of cars, nobody stop. I tryed without sign, then 2 cars stop but they was not going in the right dirrection. After 6 hours I finaly give-up and cameback in Berlin where I was sleeping before.

On the evening I was so disapointed, I looked everywhere. I looked for liftsharing, for train. I finaly choose lift sharing for Dresden and wanted to hitchhike after. I tryed to call 4 personnes : 2 didn't answer, 1 was full and the last didn't spoke english... Then I didn't had the choose : Hitchhike again.

I looked on hitchwiki and saw the spot for go to Leipzig. I wanted to go to Dresden by Leipzig. But I notice that it's was two petrol station one for the west dirrection and another for the east dirrection.

Then I gone on the petrol station on the east dirrection where of course most of the people go to Berlin, then I found somebody in 20 minutes for go to the next petrol station, then somebody for go a bit in the dirrection of dresden quite quickly then somebody for go to dresden easyly to. I think I will remove this place near of the airport and tell to use this petrol station. It's much better. Any objection?

The airport spot indeed is not very good, but you should be flexible as well when hitching. Taking a ride to the next on-ramp could probably help you more than neglecting rides and wait until 'the one' is going to Dresden. Other details, what weekday was it? But yes, Schoenefeld spot is not one of the best. Once I hitched there to get west to Hannover, took a ride east to Poland, switched sides at the first on-ramp (K-Wusterhausen) and then hitched on there along ramps to Michendorf.
Michendorf is probably the one you mention about cars going west and east. If you had a look on the map, you would see that there's a highway split just behind Michendorf going west (Hanover) and south (Leipzig, Munich). This service station _is_ perfect for hitching south, all the times I was there I got ride offers to at least Leipzig or Munich. Maybe it just wasn't your day? Also, the one in direction east is pretty okay, there should be some Polish dudes going to Poland, so you could have taken a ride there on to the next service station before the A10/A13 split. Though most cars go to Poland, rides direction Cottbus are pretty common. So it actually is possible, but as mentioned before, you probably just chosed a bad day for hitching. Good luck further on on your trips! --Platschi 10:00, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

correction: way to Poland

i'v delated north poland out of the north/baltic title - i wanted to used this rout to get to szczecin (stetin)i lost 3h cuz u need to get the to the next highway to the right

Bus #263 from Grünau S-Bahn

I read on Ikea's website that this bus goes to the Ikea mentioned in the article; that is near the gas station [1]. So I took the bus, and as the map implies, I expected the bus would go all the way to the Ikea. However, the bus ended some 3km from the Ikea at the end of Berlin and at the end of a residential area. I think it did not go all the way because of the fact that when I did this it was a holiday. When I was approaching the mall, I saw a Metro and the petrol station in question on the other side of it. I do not know if it is possible to walk through the Metro because the entrance gates were closed. I ended up walking around and behind the mall which includes the Ikea, a Toys R Us, etc. Once there I walked over a bridge and towards the autobahn and I walked alongside the autobahn for 1km to reach the petrol station. I think if it is not a holiday there is a better way to get to this petrol station using bus #263.

cleanup

While I was doing a sort of structural cleanup, I've seen some tips that seem outdated or a bit unclear (Tempelhof for instance), but I'm too tired to fix this now. --Kb 00:05, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
