ATTENTION! If you don't feel like standing for hours on an onramp hoping you will get a ride ''Option 3''' From Dresden-Neustadt DB station; take bus number 81 (WILSCHDORF) to the holy land stop 'Am Olter'. This should not take longer than fifteen minutes. Here you are right at 'Dresden Hellerau' interchange of the west, B170 and A4 / A13 direction Leipzig as well as Chemnitz. You can try to directly hitchhike there or being stuck on to use 'Rastanlage Dresdner Tor' (10 minutes/12 kilometers from here) as a lousy gasstation somewhere not even outside of the city, but approaching people on relais. '''Option 4''' For a very good service station insteadto ask drivers directly, follow these instructions. Go go to DRESDEN HAUPTBAHNHOF''Dresden Hauptbahnhopf'', buy a ticket to Warthenau (only 2 euros2€ as of July 2013). In From Warthenau you will have the feeling you are in the middle of nowhere, well you are, and there's nothing wrong with that, breath in the air of the beautiful east! Take take the exit and walk right, descending a semi-gravel road. Take a Turn right under the viaduct, and then turn right again. Here you will see a beautiful an old German Inn, 'inn called Gasthof Warthenau'. Walk to the Gasthof, then cross the street facing the Elbe river, : here you will see several busstopsbus stops. From the bus stop without a shelter, take the busstop feauturing BUS bus 331 (it has no canapy). Take this bus to ''Huhndorf'', only two stops. ATTENTION!'''Note''': this bus only runs three or four times a day, so figure out what train you should take in order to avoid an hour waiting time (which is actually not a disaster considering wait; you can relax in the sun lying in the grass right next to the elbe river, which i have done yesterday, what a blast), but still. You can figure this out to go to the information desk at the hauptbahnhof ''Hauptbahnhof'' in Dresden, they have all the information. Arriving When you arrive in Huhndorf (a beautiful mountain village) , walk in the direction the bus just came for a bout 10 approx. 10 metres, then turn right to ''Am Rasthof'' (meaning 'which means "at the service station'") and – yes, that really is the name of the street, not surrounded with cars but with wheat fields instead. Walk down the road and you will see a tree on your right carrying delicious plums. Munch on them and then continue your short journey to the service station (about approx. a 10 -minute hikewalk), take the second left, you will see a turn right at the house (a cheap hotel) turn right and you will find yourself on an incredibly awesome excellent service station, with restaurants, a giant truck resting area and a people getting gasoline driving all to the west. I found a ride within 5 minuteswestbound drivers stopping for petrol. If you want to head to Holland, first try to hitch hike to Leipzig and then Magdeburg-Hannover, this way you avoid hitch hiking thru hitching through the [[Ruhr-]] area, which is a pain-in-the-ass. This option works awesome and I was kinda surprised it wasn't on hitch wiki yet. Screw onramps, love service stations!
