So, read Along the section on hitchhiking north out coastline road there are plenty of Dubrovnik. Done? Ok, so when places where you get about halfway can put up the path (probably a good idea to check it out during the daysleeping bag, was though few places large enough for a little scary when I found it at 1tent.30amHowever, drunk) if you look to your left, you should be able to see very careful and use a metal railingtorch, at the bottom of a fairly steep slope like 3 metres long or something. Be careful. Then turn to your right, with the railing on your left and walk along. There as there are some pretty annoying bushes that will probably scratch you, but hey, it seems to keep other people out. And then you should be finding yourself with about 1 to 2 metres between the railing sudden drops in many places and the cliff behind, just enough space to lie down, in a secluded spot with a great viewwalking here without light is dangerous. Enjoy ;-)

== Hitching Out ==
=== North [[Montenegro]] ===
Hitchhiking north out of Dubrovnik - does require some patience, all the rest areas seem to be located on the coast, making it difficult to find a good area. The spot I found worked, although I waited an hour. Go the the main bus station, in the north. Cross the road and keep walking north and look for steps leading up the hill side. If find yourself under the bridge, you have gone too far. If you follow the path, it will lead you all the way up to the E65. Then, cross the bridge and continue across to the other side, where you will find a rather small pull in spot. This is the only spot I could find for hitchhiking north out of Dubrovnik. Make sure you stay behind the barrier and make yourself as visible as possible, because the pull in spot is not long and the drivers can't see it from far away. Halfway up the path to the E65 that you would have taken, is an awesome stealth camping spot, check the stealth camping section below for more info.

Hitchhiking out of Dubrovnik - which is the last major town in the south of Croatia - does not seem that difficult, although it might require quite some luck. Just climb up to the costline coastline road and hitchhike on the E65 to the South. A couple of kilometers after the city, there is a scenic view with a cafe and a large parking space, large enough to stop a truck. If you have no luck alongside the road closer to the city, you can walk down to this point.
Most drivers, though, are heading mainly towards either [[plane|airport]] or the small town of [[Gruda]]. It is still about 10 km from there to the [[Montenegro-Croatian border crossing]] between [[Herceg-Novi]] (Montenegro) near Gruda (Croatia). Since the traffic is pretty low on that road - particulary especially in the late afternoon/evening - you will need some luck to find someone crossing the border and willing to take you. Most probably you will be picked up by some tourists. If you wait considerably long, you will probably need to walk to the border.
