“Dresden can become a real challenge for those of us who are trying to get to Berlin from Prague or vice versa. You need to be really lucky and positive to get a ride from here. There is a bus stop just after the Technical University, so you can stand there with a sign. Fortunately we got a ride after 10 minutes even though it was rainy and there were three of us. Stay strong, guys! And good luck!”

“It is very difficult to hitch out of Dresden towards the south. This may be the best spot though. There is a bus station and a traffic light right next to it. Tip: Use a sign.”
