Get off at the last stop and you will see a petrol station from there. Just go directly towards it without crossing any streets (only these belonging to Auchan's car park). On the petrol station you can ask people for a ride or try to hitch on a sliproad next to the station. ==== Buses ====__TOC__
Take Option 1: take bus 604 to the end of route. From there you have to only cross the tracks on the left and you will be on very long straight road with very wide shoulder of road.

There is a shopping centre nearby. You can stand in the exit of the roundabout with a Warszawa sign. There is just enough place for the cars to stop, and they are going very slow, so they can see you easily. ''"We tried to get a lift in the option 2 spot for nearly two hours with not even a single car to stop. (On a week day, with a Warzsawa sign) We went a bit further then, to the first option listed here, and within less than 10 minutes we got a ride all the way to Warsaw."'' - Eshcar, September 2014
'''Update "" The second option to go towards Łódź or Warszawa is to take from Psie Pole a bus nr.904 to Łosice.

In case of getting a lift which will be crossing going by any other place than Kudowa ZdrojIf you're driving along the A8, <b>DO NOT</B> take it (only if ask the driver to let you out at the airport. From there you can drive take the airport bus directly to Prague or Hradec Kralove). All other roads (as Miedzylesie the city centre - Mladkovske sedlo) are pretty dead and you might find it is very difficult to get a lift in therecheap.

Take the bus to ""Auchan"" shopping center from main bus station ([http://www.auchan.pl/auchan-wroclaw/rozklad-jazdy/autobus-auchan/autobus-auchan/dworzec-autobusowy]). It costs 1,50 Zloty. Get off at the last stop and you will see a petrol station from there. Just go directly towards it without crossing any streets (only these belonging to Auchan's car park). On the petrol station you can ask people for a ride or try to hitch on a sliproad next to the station.
You can also take Tesco bus from the crossroad of ''Hallera'' and ''Powstańców Sląskich'' or ''Wroclaw EPI'' station (close to main bus station) to shopping center ''Bielany'' ([http://www.bielany.parkhandlowy.pl/~/media/poland/bielany/documents/bielany%20-%20nowy%20rja%20int.ashx timetable]; ). It costs 3 Zloty. Get off at the last stop, go right along the Tesco (way back) to ''Czekoladowa'' street, then turn left (along the Tesco), then cross the street, go under the bridge (motorway), turn right and go along the motorway across the field, you'll get to the petrol station and you will be in the same place as in the Auchan bus option.

The city public transport that goes to your spot is bus 133 to Auchan. The jakdojade app and website (valid for all Polish city public transport) also lists AB bus that goes to the spot but it doesn't go on many Sundays and public holidays. There used to be other buses (stated below) but I can't confirm whether this information is still up to date.
Take the bus to ""Auchan"" shopping center from main bus station ([http://www.auchan.pl/auchan-wroclaw/rozklad-jazdy/autobus-auchan/autobus-auchan/dworzec-autobusowy]). It costs 1,50 Zloty. Get off at the last stop, go over the bridge on the highway. You will see red petrol station ""Orlen"" alongside motorway.You can hitchiking there.
You can also take Tesco bus from the crossroad of ''Hallera'' and ''Powstańców Sląskich'' or ''Wroclaw EPI'' station (close to main bus station) to shopping center ''Bielany'' ([http://www.bielany.parkhandlowy.pl/~/media/poland/bielany/documents/bielany%20-%20nowy%20rja%20int.ashx timetable]; ). It costs 3 Zloty. Get off at the last stop, go right along the Tesco (way back) to Czekoladowa street, then turn left (along the Tesco), then turn right to cross the street and go straight along the motorway across the field (don't go under the bridge) and one small exit from the motorway, you'll get to the petrol station where you can ask people for a ride or try to hitch on a sliproad next to the station (the same situation as going towards [[Germany]], you're just on the other side of the motorway). The sliproad is very easy to hitch from with a lot of traffic moving slowly round a bend, where they can see you and stop easily. [[User:Theinefficienthitchhiker|Theinefficienthitchhiker]] would recommend this spot.

If you're going past Katowice region (for example to Kraków), but your driver is turning off A4 there, then get off at MOP Rachowice at the outskirts of Gliwice - it's a great spot to find a ride further on. Otherwise you might get stuck in some very bad spot with only local traffic.
=== Northeast towards [[Łódź]], [[Warsaw|Warszawa]] {{National Road Number Poland|8}} {{E|67}} ===
''"It's very good place, a lot of times I caught a ride from there directly to Warsaw. If you go to Warsaw use the sign <<Warszawa>>."'' - Anonymous
You can also take the train from main station "Wrocław Główny" to station "Psie Pole". It's better option than bus cause this will take you 20 minutes.
"We stayed in the option 3 spot 5 minutes and 2 cars stopped in that time. The second one drove us directly to warszawa." - Abreycierra, April 2016
The merged traffic from the city center and the transit one from the A4 motorway road have been modified recently (end of 2017), so this is brought your best bet here by the newly constructed Wroclaw Ringroad(A8)& passes U by :-). Cars go slowly while leaving the roundabout so driver You can see you easily & has enough time to pull over't walk further.It Having a sign is also strongly recommended as there is many directions from here. Got a place of a frequent traffic jam occuranceride in 20 minutes (19.01.18) for Lezsno [[User:Puckman|Puckman]]
Take tram 10 or 20 to Leśnica from the city centre and get of on the last stop (the ride takes about 30 minutes). Then walk west, after the traffic lights there is a bus stop, from which you can hitchhike.
=== South towards [[Kłodzko]], [[Prague]] ([[Czech Republic|CZ]]) {{National Road Number Poland|8}} {{E|67}} ===
==== Option 1 ====
Take the bus to the village Magnice. This is the place that ring road and old road cross and all the traffic in direction of south has to pass there. This place is even better as it is the bus station straight after the traffic lights, so cars go slower. The bus costs 4,50 Zloty.
These buses go to Magnice:
* 862 - Main Train Station (Dworzec PKP) -> Wroclaw Krzyki -> Magnice * 872 - Wroclaw Krzyki -> Magnice
little longer way:
* 852 - Wroclaw Krzyki -> Magnice * 892 - Wroclaw Krzyki -> Magnice
==== Option 2 ====
==== Warning ====
In case of getting a lift which will be crossing going by any other place than Kudowa Zdroj, '''do not''' take it (only if you can drive directly to Prague or Hradec Kralove). All other roads (as Miedzylesie - Mladkovske sedlo) are pretty dead and you might find it very difficult to get a lift in there.
== Hitching in ==
There are a few different highways that circle around Wroclaw. If your driver isn't travelling directly to Wroclaw, it is unlikely that they will take you to the centre because it is a rather large diversion for them.
