Take tram M4 from (direction: ''AlexanderplatzHohenschönhausen, Zingster Str.'' ) to ''Berliner Allee/Indira-Gandhi-Str.Weißer See''. Then , get off there and walk 150 m along ''Berliner Allee'' to the bus lay-by, following the same direction. Many cars at this intersection have Polish license plates and are heading northeast, some as far as Gdansk. Using a [[Szczecin]] sign will surely persuade a Polish driver to stop, though be prepared to mix your languages and refer to cities by their Polish names. ==== Option 2: Darßer Brücke ==== Get to ''Weißer See'' as described in option 1 and walk 1 km north along ''Berliner Allee'' (the street name changing to ''Malchower Chaussee'' roughly at where the Star petrol station is) to the place just before where ''Darßer Straße'' passes over ''Malchower Chaussee''. It's a long, straight road where people don't drive too fast and where there are a couple of pockets for cars to stop. There's less local traffic and a higher concentration of relevant traffic. If you have a public transport ticket anyway, check online if it's worth waiting to get to the bus stop ''Nüßlerstr./Feldtmannstr.'' (bus lines 255 and 259) to save yourself most of the walking.

==== Option 2: Autobahn Junction The most cost-effective – though not fastest – option might be taking bus line 259 to the stop ''Am Luchgraben'', which is conveniently located a few metres before the city border, meaning you're still within tariff zone B. There's a patch of dirt/concrete right next to the crossed-out Berlin-Weißensee ====sign (indicating that one is leaving the city limits) where people can easily stop; many, if not the majority of cars passing here will be going to Northwestern Poland.

Take S==== Option 4: Autobahn Junction Berlin-Bahn S2 direction Bernau from Friedrichstr. and get off at "Buch". From there, catch a bus that goes to "Schwanebeck, Dorf" (ca. 10 min). Several buses will go there so check the time table there or ask the driver or someone else. Note that you will need a ticket including Zone C, as Schwanebeck is located outside of the border of Berlin. Next, you'll have to walk the main road of the village into southern direction. It's about 1.2 km to the on ramp; before that there is a petrol station where one can already ask drivers. You'll need the on ramp towards eastern direction, that means coming from Schwanebeck, you have to pass the first on ramp which leads towards western direction. There, standing behind the safety fence, you are visible to all drivers who queue up at the traffic light from both sides. It is not very easy for drivers to stop by but just before the actual on ramp cars can pull over, as they are not on full speed and a little firm area off the road allows to stop. On your sign you should write "A11" as it's not the on ramp for the A11 straight away, but rather to the "Berliner Ring" (A10); the A11 goes off the A10 about a kilometre after this on ramp. If your driver is not going to your destination but follows the A11 for a while, ask to be dropped off at Raststätte "Buckowsee", which is located some 35 km after the A11 begins. This Raststätte is the only one on the A11 and afterwards on A20 (leading towards [[Stralsund]] or [[Rügen)]] but a very busy one. From here you should try to find your final ride.Weißensee ====
