Great spot for going south. A lot of people were going to Frankfurt and we managed to get a ride to Nürnberg fairly easily

If you're going to the airport, great spot as people wait here to avoid paying the parking. A few people were also going to Bonn. If you're trying to go anywhere else (Frankfurt in our case), DO NOT come here and stay on the A3 if possible. We had to give up and start again the next morning from the airport

Waited quite a long time with the intention of going to Stuttgart or Frankfurt. Got picked up eventually going to Ulm. Would say its an okay spot.

My only objective was getting past Frankfurt. Many cars indeed go to the Flughafen

Sadly I got dropped here when I was told he would drop me to Frankfurt. I settled for a ride to the next gasstation as many cars where going east/west

It was a calm morning but still found a ride close to Frankfurt

First day noone going south, only Frankfurt or Frankfurt airport. Next day we had a sign saying A5 SOUTH wich was very helpful and got picked up in 20-30 minutes, and drove close to Landau. Got dropped of at gas station near Edesheim. 20 minute walk there, and a store, so you can buy food etc.

Really good for Frankfurt or shorter rides, unfortunatelly for us we needed south and desperatly needed to get on A5, when super sweet young lady stopped and drove us to a bigger gas station right on A5

Only long-distance trucks stayed here, would rather recommend using the previous available gas station than this one. On the other hand, we still got picked up and rode about 300 km to Frankfurt. (1 M, 1 F)

I hitchhiked there in the morning, there wasnt a lot of traffic, I guess its better to get onto the bigger gas station further on the highway, but it is easy to get there from Frankfurt (you have to jump over the fence tho) and there are some cars going to Berlin/Poland

Not so busy. Mostly trucks. Worth the wait though. Got a ride in a truck to Frankfurt.

Once again, got offered a ride without even asking while walking around looking for a place to hitch. Sign Frankfurt. Solo female. Got ride to Gießen (Reinhardshain Nord). Should be easy to get rides though, quite a lot of people.

Should be easy, lots of people with southern plates and trucks. Didn't even get to hitch as I got offered a ride while going to the (women's) bathroom with a sign Frankfurt. This has become my new technique. Look a bit lost and walk around with a sign. (worth mentioning she was an old hitchhiker and had even participated in races).

To be honest, not that great spot for Nürnberg direction, all of the truck go to Frankfurt, but it you are lucky, you can still get really nice hitch.

I stood at the roundabout on the end. There was a lot of traffic. Had a sign saying Köln. Then a guy took me past it to a station in the direction of Frankfurt. Good spot. You can get here by bus from Aachen very easily, the bus station is right next to the station.

Stood at the end with a sign, a lot of cars park near the end so you can ask around and use the sign or a thumb at the same time. After 30 minutes a turkish guy took me to a gas station after Frankfurt. Pretty good and lots of traffic.

A lot of people are sayin its not good for hitching with a sign, maybe i was just lucky. But there was place to stop. Had a sign A6 - west and a couple in a van stopped and took me near Frankfurt.

By waiting near the exit with a sign, I was picked up by a German woman going to Frankfurt, heading back from her vacation in Sweden. Perfect timing.

Two guys hitchhiking south via the A7 or to Frankfurt. Although it seems like a spot which could get traffic both north and south, this was sadly not the case. After 6 hours we gave up and hiked to an on-ramp 5 km further north. A lot of lokal traffic as well. Do not use for going south.

Was thumbing at the exit ramp and in a matter of minutes managed to get a ride going to Frankfurt
