Go to the Inn at the Crossroads
As Geralt rides up to the Hanged Man's Tree, several quests will have been initiated in the journal including: In Ciri's Footsteps, Pyres of Novigrad, and Destination: Skellige. These are all main quests in Act I and thus one can take their time getting to them. For now, follow the marker to proceed through Mulbrydale and across the river to the Inn at the Crossroads.

Note: Along the default route from Mulbrydale to the Crossroads, you will pass the start of two secondary quests: Funeral Pyres and At the Mercy of Strangers. Both quests are fairly quick to complete so this would be a good time to complete them.

Ask about Hendrik
When Geralt enters the inn he can either go straight into conversation with the Innkeeper to progress the quest or speak with the couple at a table nearby to learn a tidbit about the current ruler of this land he's arrived in. The innkeeper isn't too forthcoming with information about Hendrik and as soon as Geralt sits down to enjoy a drink the inn clears out and some of the Baron's thugs enter. Choose any of the following three options with the associated result:

1. Back off or die: Causes the baron's men to become hostile and Geralt will be given the objective to defeat the baron's men. Additionally, more thugs will await outside but can be avoided by sneaking out the back door. The innkeeper will be upset that Geralt has caused trouble and possibly brought the baron's attention to their village but he will tell Geralt what he knows about Hendrik. Afterwards, either sneak out the back door to avoid more confrontation with the baron's men or go ahead and kill them all.

2. I'm a witcher: Causes the baron's men to fear Geralt and they will leave him alone to finish his drink. The innkeeper will thank Geralt for not starting trouble with the baron's men and give up the information needed to find Hendrik. Afterwards Geralt can continue to question the innkeeper to learn some more tales about the bloody baron. However, if players repeatedly attempt to interact with the Baron's men at the Inn immediately afterwards or do any offensive maneuver in front of them, they will turn hostile and the game will proceed as if the player had chosen the first option.

3. Care for a drink?: This will lead to a second choice and third choice where Geralt can choose to either pick a fight with the same result as option 1 or Geralt can defuse the tense situation leading to the same result as option 2. If Geralt does buy them a drink he won't actually pay any Oren3 but some details about this land's current ruler, the bloody baron, can be gleaned from the conversation.
Note: Your actions with the baron's men here will affect how easy it is to gain entry to the Baron's fort at Crow's Perch during the main quest, Bloody Baron. None of your actions will make things impossible later on, but the nicer you are the easier it will be to gain access to the fort. It will also complicate matters at The Pellar's hut during Family Matters if Geralt reveals that he's a witcher to the soldiers outside as they will deduce that he was the one who killed their friends.
