Hitchhiking out

South towards Dej, Gherla, Cluj-Napoca E 58

Get to the train station. Near it, there's a big round-about with a light-tower in the middle. Near it you will see large crowds along the road, but they are waiting for paid transportation. Follow the road as it passes underneath the railway, and you can hitch right after the underpass, potentially catching cars while they wait at the stoplight. If headed towards Cluj, a sign helps ("Cluj" or simply "CJ"). From Cluj-Napoca you can get almost anywhere in Romania.
