A lot of car going to North A3, but some are traveling south. It took me 2h to wait for direct ride to Freiburg, but then it was very fast ride and directly to the place I need.The spot is good, with nice view and not so expensive (relative to other petrol stations). Many foreign car, mostly NL, but some B as well. People are friendly and it is worth to try to speak directly to them. During 2 hours of waiting 4 drivers offer me a ride to north, but I politely declined as there is no better spot further north to hhike south. You just need to be patient here

My new technique strikes again! (Monday morning solo female). Sign in hand (Freiburg, maybe Basel would have been better sign though), walking around looking lost, for a place to hitch, immediately got offered a ride to Basel. Lots of Swiss cars, some southern German, not many French.rating: 5/5, wait: 1 min 💬+🪧, ride: 220 km ↓

Amazing spot, if you need to get up north definitely go here. We met another hitchhiker who was not so friendly. But five people stopped but did not go to a tactical good location. Next person brought us to freiburg. Amazingrating: 5/5, wait: 60 min 🪧, ride: 109 km ↖

We were hitchhiking from Freiburg South and had to wait around 75 min. It´s not a really good spot. So if you're going from Freiburg South. Try another option.rating: 1/5, ride: 50 km ↙

Police were nice, let me hitch from just after the border (where cars are slow). In the end somebody from the restaurant called me over after seeing me for a while. Easy to go direction Freiburgrating: 4/5, wait: 20 min, ride: 57 km ↑

Don’t try to get here by foot, I walked via the motorway and it was super dangerous. The first people I asked went to Freiburg Germany, the Gotthardt tunnel closed at night, so if you are late you might have to wait for the morning.rating: 5/5, wait: 0 min 💬, ride: 341 km ↖

Often going to France from Freiburg.I use bus/tram to get to the spot, then trying to catch a car. Most cars to the south, so finding a French car can take a long time. Stil the best option I found so far to travel Freiburg->France.

Good place to go south from Freiburg. Asking people at the gas station or parking lot is the best option. We tried going to France but didn't find many.rating: 4/5, wait: 45 min, ride: 25 km ↙

Just asked people are the gas station while filing up or Parking on the small parking lot. Offered them to think about it while paying. Some would take me but only one after 20min directly to Freiburg. Be nice and smell good when you approach people;)rating: 4/5, wait: 20 min, ride: 117 km ↓
