Very nice spot, even at late evening quite some cars were stopping here, very good for going west (cars going to Dortmund, Bielefeld, Düsseldorf were frequent), but little traffic towards south, wait time of 50 minutes towards south direction, could have gotten a ride to west before that

rating: 4/5

I asked around for an hour trying to go towards Dortmund, I got an offer to Munich and to Leipzig, and ended up driving with a truck for two hours to Magdeburg. Definitely a good spot to get out of Berlin. Good luck hitchhiking family!

Great spot, got a ride to Dortmund within 10min and before three cars had already stopped....
there's no pavement at the road but you can get there from a gravel square from the back side...

quite easy to get on A1 south or North or into Dortmund. But getting on A44 towards Oberhausen/Arnhem(NL) is more tricky

Senseless if you are going towards Dortmund. We had to eventually book a blablacar. I don't add our Experience since it was our bad choice - wrong direction

Very good spot for going east-Poland, Leipzig etc.
Good to go north to A1 (Osnabrück, Bremen, Dortmund,...) or to the netherlands even

Cars are not too fast and can pull over at the bus stop. A lot of cars will probably go onto the highway. So youd have good chances to get to Dortmund or Soest.

Good spot to get to Kassel as many cars head in that direction. For going further south, north or west it is more difficult. If you want to go west ask for a ride to the Exit Wilhelmshhe on the A44. That spot is basically still in Kassel. From there you can easily hitchhike to Dortmund and further.

A good spot to get to Mhnesee and on the highway direction Dortmund. Nearly nobody will go in direction Kassel.

A great spot. You can show a sign to the cars that are coming from the highway. The cars that are coming from direction Dortmund have to stop at the traffic lights. They can let you in while it is red, or the can drive on the parking of the fire fighters house.

I stood here during dusk with a sign Dortmund. After 10 minutes, some people picked me up.

Good place if you want to go south or west in the direction of Nrnberg/Mnchen OR Erfurt/ Frankfurt/ Dortmund.

Cars can stop easily in Ferdinand-Rhode-Strae.

On ramp to A40 for people heading east, north or west. Lots of local traffic, but just ask your driver to drop you at the next gas station, for example Beverbach on the way to Dortmund.

On ramp to the ring around Bochum (which is about to be turned into a highway). Not ideal to stop but it is possible and it does happen. Most drivers don't go far but they might take you to some gas station, for example Beverbach at A40 on the way to Dortmund.

This is NOT a good spot to hitchhike towards Dortmund via the A2.

Many people are driving towards Paderborn or take the 61 to Gütersloh.

I was lucky that after two hours a kind man going towards Gütersloh took a detour for me on the A2 to bring me to the first petrol station there.

It seems to be a good spot, but not so much traffic here on workday morning. Anyway we got lift in direction Dortmund. Be patient. :)

Not bad to hitchhike towards Osnabrck and Paderborn (A33) or Direction Hannover or Dortmund (A2). A lot of Cars are not driving towards the highway but some do. Enough space to stop.

Very good place. I Waited 15 min to go to Dortmund.
When I came at this place, I met another person who wants to go to Hamburg and she wanted just 10min
