=== East towards [[Berlin]] {{Autobahn|24}} & (Northeast towards [[Lübeck]], [[Puttgarden]] {{Autobahn|1}}) ===

=== South towards [[Lüneburg]] {{Autobahn|39}} ===
Towards Lunenburg the service station described above (Raststätte Stillhorn) is not recommended. Instead, take the metro or the S-Bahn to "Berliner Tor", take exit B and walk along the national road B75 to the crossing Heidenkampsweg-Nordkanalstr/Ankelmannsplatz. You can start thumbing at the traffic light (the cars towards Lunenburg go straight).You can find a safer option below. === Another Option towards the A1: East towards [[Berlin]] {{Autobahn|24}} & (Northeast towards [[Lübeck]], {{Autobahn|1}}), South towards [[Lüneburg]] {{Autobahn|39}}, [[Hannover]] {{Autobahn|7}} & Southwest towards [[Bremen]] {{Autobahn|1}} ===There's a lot of traffic passing through Harburg (in the south of Hamburg). It is pretty well reachable via S3/S5 or regional trains from the central station. Leave at "Harburg" and take a bus (349 "Bhf Harburg" or 152 "Breslauer Straße") to the bus stop "Neuländer Weg". On week days both bus lines operate every 20 minutes and the ride will take 7-9 mins. From the bus stop, you follow the "Neuländer Straße" for 1,0 km in the direction the bus is driving. There is an onramp on the A1 with a nice and safe roundabout (which makes it my favorite spot in Hamburg whenever I want to get on the A1), where you can start thumbing. Even though it might take you longer to get to the spot, depending on where in Hamburg you're starting, in my experience it is way faster and more reliable than "Raststätte Stillhorn", that is described above.
=== North towards [[Flensburg]], [[Kiel]], [[Denmark]] {{Autobahn|7}} ===
Take S-Bahn S3 or S21 to ''Eidelstadt'', and then A1 to ''Quickborn''. It is possible to blackride. Then take bus 594 in direction of ''U A Norderstedt Mitte'' and get off after the bus goes over the motorway (''Hasloher Weg'' stop). After getting off the bus, walk in the direction back towards the bridge (west) and you will immediately see a small road going left (Hasloher Weg). You will feel you are lost in the country side because after 200 m, this way doesn't look like a street anymore. Never mind, keep going straight for another 400 m and on your right you will see the petrol station. We needed less than five minues to find a driver to Denmark

If you want to go to Puttgarden for going into [[Scandinavia]], you can hitch to the ferry at Puttgarden, and get a ride straight to [[Copenhagen]]. Have a look at the [[Puttgarden]] article for more info.
