'''Puttgarden''' is [[Germany]]'s gate to [[Scandinavia]]. There is a car/train ferry port with ferries to [[Rødby]] in [[Denmark]].  == Hitchhiking out ===== North towards [[Rødby]], [[Denmark]] === [[File:Puttgarden ferry waiting lines.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Cars and drivers waiting to get on to the ferry, great for finding a ride to [[Copenhagen]] or even far up north into [[Scandinavia]]]]Usually hitchhikers can get over for free because every vehicle can take 9 passengers with it, so there might be place for you anywhere. If you are searching for a lift you should tell people about this possibility – otherwise they might not take you with them just because they think it's too complicated or they'll have to pay. The employees at the entrance said it's not allowed to hitchhike on their facilities, but [[User:Swaden|Swaden]] ([[User talk:Swaden|talk]]) did it anyway and no one bat an eye. If they don't let you, you can always hitchhike with a sign during the day but then it might be more complicated to explain the free thing. If you hitchhike at night, there will be less cars so don't hesitate to directly stop them and explain that you're out of their live as soon as you board into the ferry! You can probably easily find a ride to [[Copenhagen]] or [[Malmö]] in [[Sweden]]. The ferry passage for foot passengers is expensive and the price is the same even at night (around 20 EUR for Rødby). You can also ask rides to people on the ferry. === South towards [[Lübeck]], [[Hamburg]], [[Berlin]]=== If you're coming from [[Denmark]], you can try to find a car on the ferry that might bring you somewhere on the motorway. Ask everyone you can on the boat (first ask if they're driving) and if you're not lucky, one option is to stay on the boat to go to Denmark and then back, and try again. Nobody will ask you anything, this hitchhiker tried it for a few back-and-forths. If still not lucky, you will probably try to hitch a ride where all the cars are leaving the ferry. It's always a lot of cars at once when a ferry arrives and then nothing for the next 30 minutes. There is also a ARAL service station 1–2 km away, where you might be lucky, too. Everyone leaving Fehrman will pass the station, often rather slow because of all the cars leaving the ferry.

== Hitching Out ==When you want to get to Berlin, try to catch a ride before you pass Lübeck onto the A20, then A14 or onto the A24 (attention: there is the national road B404 which most drivers use to get from the A1 onto the A24, check googlemaps). If you are unlucky you ultimately can hitch to Hamburg and go to the Horner Kreisel (at the end of the A24 in Hamburg) or a service station close to it. === North towards [[Rødby]], [[Denmark]] At night and/or if you're stranded ===[[Image:Puttgarden It is difficult that someone will stop for you at night after they leave the ferry waiting lines(especially as it's a crazy rush and probably in this case people who would otherwise stop, in this case won't).jpg|thumb|250px|left|Cars and drivers waiting At night your best chance to get on some sympathy and maybe a ride is to ignore the ferryno-pedestrians sign at the exit side, great and go try to talk to some truckers who might be there (if their blinds aren't closed). Some may be resting for finding one hour, others will stay the night. If they're staying the night you will have to find a ride place to [[Copenhagen]] or even far up north into [[Scandinavia]]]]rest. But read right next. Usually hitchhikers can If you get over stranded for free because drivers only pay the night then there is a wonderful place for their vehicleyou to crash. If you are searching Look for a lift door near those gates where cars and trucks leave the ferry (the place you should tell people about this possibility – otherwise they might not take cross to go talk to the truckers). That door gives access to another door and then to a well-heated and well-lit corridor that has access to the police office as well as the Scandlines office. At the end of the corridor to the right there is a heater. Probably there will even be something on the floor for you with them just because they think to lie down. Just do it's too complicated or they'll have to pay. Every vehicle can take 9 passengers with Use your sleeping bag. Nobody there will find itstrange, so there might it seems to be place common enough. Regulate the heater to your preference. If anybody asks, just say you're waiting for you anywheresomeone who's arriving in the morning. Nobody asked me anything. By the way, this was a trucker's suggestion who also gave me the next suggestion about trains.

You can probably easily find Also, if you'd like to take the train for free and you don't feel guilty about it: at around 5.00 in the morning the first train leaves. With information from another person this hitchhiker took a chance and rode without a ride ticket, to Lübeck. And then in Lübeck this hitchhiker took the train to [[Copenhagen]] or [[Malmö]] Hamburg. Verdict: as said by the "informant", there are no ticket checks in [[Sweden]]the first hours of the morning. Plus, if you're not a national, you can just ask for the invoice to go to your home and ignore it.

==Trashwiki & Nomadwiki = South towards [[Lübeck]], [[Hamburg]] ===If you're coming from [[Denmark]], you should try to find a car on the ferry that might bring you somewhere on the highway. If not, it's quite hard to get a ride at the ferry port, because all cars coming from the ferry are going directly onto the street, and there's not much space to stop because of roadworks. Then you might walk around 1–2 km along the roadworks to a gas station, where you might have more luck. But normally the best way is to ask people on the ferry.
