Coming from the Frankfurt area, I had a nice little break there. I think after 30-45 minutes asking at the main building, I had a ride to Offenburg. Will definitely come here more often.

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.

On a Monday in mid July around 8 pm there were hardly any cars and no one was going in the direction of Kassel. After 45 minutes of waiting I ended up accepting a ride to Frankfurt since I had gone the route from there before and it seemed more reliable. Bonus points for the cute kitten at the gas station though.

Not so many cars driving onto the Autobahn from here, but I got a ride to a rastplattz and then onwards to Frankfurt.

I was getting dizzy watching cars pass until I was picked up. I started with a sign for Frankfurt but switched to thumb and got a ride to Kaiserslautern.

Trying to hitchhike to Frankfurt we stood next to the road with sign and thumb. Got a ride after 45 minutes to a petrol station close to nürnberg to continue our journey.

Lots of families around 16:00 on a summer Friday, but quickly found a nice couple traversing Germany who took me around Frankfurt about halfway to Würzburg.

Feels like I got lucky with finding a ride so soon, stopped here on a Friday in summer around 14:00. There is a closed restaurant and no bathroom, however this is not advertised, so people will still stop here. Asked the first group who was there and got a ride almost to Frankfurt

Lively parking around noon in summer, I just asked people for a ride and found one pretty quickly. Was taken about halfway to Frankfurt.

Did not try but this would be a good spot to continue on Hunsrückhöhenstraße in the direction of Mainz/ Frankfurt. There is a bus stop after the crossroad. Try to get to Raststätte Hunsrück West.

Hh spot. Picked up in 30 min with sign a5. Tried to get to frankfurt, bus since traffic is local, I got to a good gas station further on the a5.

Sign for long distance destination won’t be good!

A bit hard to get to Frankfurt. Arrived at 14:30, I was here for 1:20 hr, asking people at first, then rotating between thumbingn at the exit with sign, or asking truck drivers.
70% of truck drivers were going to sleep / cutrtain closed. 15% went to sleep 15% didn’t went to frankfurt.
People only said they didn’t go to frankfurt. Once I changed my sign to mannheim I got a stop from so

A local took me in the direction of KW. Unfortunately I thought that my destination would be ideal to catch a lift to Frankfurt (Oder), but after waiting for a hour, I've had to go to a gas station in Wildau. No chance there...

Ive waited to long on the Chausseestraße, without checking the bad review on hitchmap first. Just talk to people with the right license plates towards Frankfurt (Oder) and you will eventually get a lift.
