Wanna talk about the recent changes and what you guys think about a major clean-up
==Clean-up of Berlin page (March/April 2020)==
With the corona virus upon us, I'll have some spare time soon and will use it to update most, if not all sections of this article: Fixing typos, removing public transport prices (they change every other year so it's better to just mention which zones you should buy a ticket for) and the like. All contributors and fellow hitchers: Feel free to provide your input towards this. --[[User:Raureif|Raureif]] ([[User talk:Raureif|talk]]) 20:01, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
==Recent edits (March 2020)==
Hi there, pinging user [[User:Dxc|Dxc]] in particular.
1) If you look closely, I did add a map for walking to Raststätte Am Fichtenplan - new thumbnails are currently not showing. I've notified one of the admins of this issue, but don't expect a quick solution. Either way, I don't think it's a good idea to add things like "add a map pls" on the actual page, it should be on the Talk page (right here) instead. Not to mention that this something entirely optional: Most contributions on Hitchwiki do not have walking maps.
2) Why all the spaces/breaks between the sections of the article? It doesn't look nice and is non-wiki standard. I'm inclined to undo your edit, but feel free to comment first.
3) Why did you add "wild camping" at Adlershof? As written before, this area is being developed as business park. Almost all trees and bushes have been removed, it's next to impossible to camp there and not being seen by someone - some city parks would even be better for this. --[[User:Raureif|Raureif]] ([[User talk:Raureif|talk]]) 20:01, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
==Raststätte Grunewald open again?==
Hi, i was wondering if the great hitch-spot to Leipzig was okay again. Seems as if the Autobahn has been finished:

I might try it this weekend.
==Not pickup after 6 hours in Airport Berlin-Schönefeld==

I hitchhiked from this spot two times. One time i hold the sign "CZ". The car with CZ plates stoped in 20 minutes. So i went to CZ. Another time i was heading to Poland. I hold PL sign. I was taken in 30 minutes to the border of Poland. So, guys, maybe it depends.
== 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While I was doing a sort of structural cleanup, I've seen some tips that seem outdated or a bit unclear (Tempelhof for instance), but I'm too tired to fix this now. --[[User:Kb|Kb]] 00:05, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
South towards Dresden, East towards Frankfurt (Oder) needs a clean-up, since it has been re-edited several times. It is not easy to read through, since one opinion defeats another. It would be nice if known Berlin hitchhikers could help to make the situation clear how it is to use the mentioned spots as of now. Thanks! [[User:Pathofdhamma|Pathofdhamma]] 08:09, 26 October 2011
== Rasthof Stolper Heide ==
I attempted the directions that were there previously and not only was the direction listed (go right) after crossing the motorway bridge entirely inaccurate, it was if the directions described a different walk entirely - but only after the motorway bridge. I have corrected it, and this can be confirmed by searching for the Rasthof on Google maps and following my directions in reverse. I can confirm that this service station is an excellent place to get a lift.
== Using the Rasthof Michendorf for getting east towards Poland or Dresden ==
I was hitchhiking out of Berlin to Warsaw in the summer'2014 and used the Rasthof Michendorf spot. I followed the directions and easliy found the green emergency door. Then I couldn't figure how I should get east towards Poland, the second paragraph in 'Rasthof Michendorf' chapter just makes no sense. I went back and tried to walk through the wood then I went on the side of the autobahn hoping that eventualIy I would reach the mentioned rest area so finally the cops stopped and took me to some (other) rest area. I just want someone who used that route to correct that part of the text so everyone can find the mentioned tunnel etc.
: The description was indeed a bit confusing, so I have updated it. Just for helping your further, you do not need to enter the door of Michendorf Nord, if you are heading east or southeast. But the description was too confusing! Love, --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 18:50, 29 March 2015 (CEST)
