Got dropped off here by a trucker turning towards Czechia, walked up to a car with an older German pair showing them a sign for Chemnitz/Dresden but they signaled they wouldn't take me so I walked around the rastpaltz, asked a few truck drivers who said no, went to the toilet and the German guy signaled told me that he can take me but only to Dresdner Tor (I think a little bit out of pity when everyone else also said no), which was perfect for me as I wanted to hitchhike further towards Poland but I think it should be avoided as there are very few cars coming.rating: 4/5, wait: 5 min 💬+🪧, ride: 78 km ↗

I got here around 12:30am and asked the staff if I could sleep on the bench in the McDonald's part and they nodded their heads. I covered my eyes with the cardboard and it was good enough, I started looking for a ride around 5am which may have been a little too late as many trucks already left around 4-4:30am but I was hitchhiking on Tuesday which menas a lot of truck drivers are in the area to unload or load their trucks and are returning West. After 2 hours of standing with a sign for Chemnitz/Dresden I finally got a ride with a Czech trucker who dropped me off not far from Chemnitz where I could find another ride. Should be much easier to find someone to Poland on Thurday or Friday.rating: 4/5, wait: 120 min 🪧, ride: 243 km →

Perfect spot to go south to the A9 (from there it's easy to go to A4 west), West to A38 or for A72 to Chemnitz.I'm using a sign with "A9", "C" (for Chemnitz) or "A38".
Cars can stop very comfortably and are going slow enough because they drive around the corner rigth before. Right behind you is a space to stop.

This gas station has very little trafic. I spent 3 hours looking for a lift to A9 (leipzig). I did not get one. There were few people going in direction of Chemnitz and Poland. There were also few people going to Czech. But yeah it was generaly very little cars to ask. In the end i gave up on the spot and hitched on a regional road to A9.rating: 2/5, wait: 191 min

For Chemnitz and the center of Leipzig, this is a very good spot. But for Kassel/ Göttingen we waited 1,5 hours. It was the thrid car to head this destination in this period of time. The journey from Leipzig took us very long as well. Pack some food and a good load of time for this one.―Anonymous, August 2017

Great spot to find a ride to south or Annaberg Buchholz.Take the tram C11 to "Chemnitz-Harthau" (2.20 € from "Chemnitz Zentralhaltestelle") than walk 100m to the street "Annaberger Straße", turn left and walk 200/250m you see the Bus Stop on the left side call "Alte Harth"

Please, could somebody write the description of the spot by specifying what you mean by 'direction south'?I am confused because to me 'south' means Nürnberg/ Munich but I got the impression that you mean Borna or Chemnitz.
What is right?

Good spot, cars can stop easily. A truck picked us up after just a few minutes. Also it's an official hitchhiking spot authorized by Tramprennen :)Although we wanted to go to Munich (via Chemnitz) we got in a truck going to Leipzig and got off a few km later on the service station Dresdner Tor.

Bus stop at the B95. Pretty good towards Chemnitz. Takes a while still, but that's because it's Erzgebirge. People around here are quite... isolated :D―Anonymous, September 2015

Tracks can't stop here (too less space) and at the morning (6 am) there are only locals (DD). Probably it is easier to catch a car to Leipzig that to Chemnitz.―Micho, August 2015

Ask people at McDonnalds. It´s a common meeting point for sharing rides (e.g. Blablacar etc). I was waiting 5 min to get a ride to the first service station on the motorway to Chemnitz and 10 min for a ride to Leipzig/Kassel―Anonymous, August 2015
