It is not a good spot. The gas station is just before the junction of two highways and it is kind of messy to find out how to get there and if you can then get back on the highway. Thats why i think not many people stop there. I came in winter on a friday afternoon and there was no people taking gas and just one person in the restaurant. If you wanna go further north you should change at some other spot. If you wanna go to A4 towards Erfurt or Frankfurt you can walk to the rest area on A4. It is called Teufelstal and it is just 4km walk from here. You walk through a pretty nice forest and i think it is likely to be faster to walk there than to wait here.rating: 2/5

As for this small of a place (there is only a toilet and some parking spaces) it was okay, really pretty tho. Ended up there at around 8 pm and caught a ride near Erfurt. A lot of ppl going to Leipzig or further west, very bad place for trying the south.rating: 3/5, wait: 60 min, ride: 95 km ←

ok Reststop, but not much traffic. I've been there a few times, but once had trouble finding someone going west on the A4 towards Gera Erfurt... (2,5 h wait time). Most cars are heading south on the A72, some south. ~Lukas―Anonymous, May 2019

A lot of traffic goes south here, some are going west (A4) direction of Erfurt. Very few go north-west with direction Magdeburg. Anyway i found a direct lift to Magdeburg after 45 minutes of asking people at the gas station.―Anonymous, June 2017

A lot of People in the direction Nürnberg or Erfurt and it is also possible to get a hitch on the A38 to Kassel.I used this spot a lot of times and usual waiting time is 30 minutes.
Normally I use a sign with 'A9'.

It's a very cool spot to hitchhike, but dont expect to get anything with a sign. you'll have to invade people's privacy and ask. That's te way it is! :) First asked took us via Leipzig to Erfurt, in the south. :)))―Bohua, March 2015

I started once at the Aral-gasstation and I got away from there after 15 minutes in southern direction to Erfurt. So in my case it was very good and I just can recommend it!―Anonymous, February 2015

We spent the night sleeping somewhere behind the Aral petrol station, we got up early in the morning and walked here to the ramp. We were here at 6.30am and we got a ride to the A9 after 10 mins. Its a perfect place in the morning if you want to go to Erfurt/Gera/Leipzig...―Anonymous, August 2014

good place, used it quite often, of course there're cases where you have to wait longer, for example i waited once nearly 2hourse, is was 7 in the morning, tuesday directly after easter weekend hitch hiking as 2guys... well but yes useally u wont wait longer than 30minutes..., well and u can get there by bus, if you go to Eichelborn, Abweig nach Utzbach or Bechderstedtstraß. from there u can walk, just a few meters east there's a way to cross. the petrol station is fenced, but at the end direction east the fence will stop. so it's very easy to get there, but busses are in the morning and one arround noon, you can get by bus from erfurt or from weimar. ticket from erfurt is 2,60€―Anonymous, May 2014
