== Hitchhiking car ferries ==
Generally, hitchhiking ferries in Denmark is easy and fun, since most people know about this 'paying per vehicle' thing. It is also possible to hitchhike ferries to a lot of smaller danish Danish islands, which otherwise are not accessible.
Here's a list of easily hitchable hitch-able ferry connections:
* Odden <-> Århus * Odden <-> Ebeltoft * Gedser <-> Rostock (Germany) * Rødby <-> Puttgarden (Germany) * Helsingør <-> Helsingborg (Sweden) * Esbjerg <-> Fanø * Kalundborg <-> Ballen (Samsø) * Als <-> Fyn (Bøjden/Fynshav) * Ystad (Sweden) <-> Rønne (Bornholm) * Køge <-> Rønne (Bornholm) * Sassnitz (Germany) <-> Rønne (Bornholm) * Spodsbjerg <-> Tårs (Langeland/Lolland)
At other connections you pay per person, however, it might be possible to hitchhike a truck (no experience, anybody else?).
=== [[Hamburg]] to [[Copenhagen]] ===
From [[Hamburg]] to [[Copenhagen]] you can hitch to a ferry at [[Puttgarden]] and get a ride straight to Copenhagen. If you ask people after they paid the ticket you can cross for free (and save EUR 7 euros). Tickets are per vehicle, not per person.
You can watch a [http://youtube.com/watch?v=fiR_zNYFoTc video] of a lovely Danish landscape. It was made by [[User:Amylin|amylin]] in February 2008 when going on a ferry to Denmark.
'''From Zealand'''
First, get a ride to [[Gedser]] which has ferry lines to [[Rostock]] ([[Germany]]), or go to [[Rødby]]havn which has a ferry connection with [[Puttgarden]] (also in Germany, close to Kiel and Lübeck). Most cars heading to the ferry go to Rødby, from where a ferry sails every half an hour. Gedser might be a lot harder to reach than Rødby, also because it's like at the end of the world, and very few locals drive to and from there. So try to locate a good gas petrol station on the way and look for the right German plates. There is also a big truck stop with a toll office on Falster, close to Nørre Aslev (see map). You can ask truck drivers there - German truck drivers will say, as usual, that it's forbidden to take people on board, so concentrate on [[hitchhiking a truck|trucks]] coming from other places.
A ferry ticket for a car includes up to 9 car passengers (incl. the driver) so it should be quite possible to get a free ride over the sea (and maybe even further).
