Got a direct ride to Nurnberg after waiting 30 minutes or so.

Usually my go to stop, easy to go south to Freiburg or north to Heidelberg.

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.

We were trying to get towards Freiburg. Most cars were going towards Stuttgart so not the best stop for this direction but we got a ride after about an hour bringing us before Karlsruhe

Really small traffic. I was lucky and had a ride to Freiburg with a fire truck after 30 minutes. Gas station on second side Is similiar, also bad traffic And past time after 3 hours I gave up.

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.

A lot of people going to Karlsruhe, some were going to switzerland and after 35min we found our ride to Freiburg. It was already 5pm and I suppose earlier we would have been luckier.

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;)

On my way to Freiburg A5 south. Didn’t see a lot of this place as I was lucky and got a ride immediately by a empty Bus. Smallish station with not to many lanes currently Construction on the road and often loads of traffic. I had a nice experience

great for North South traffic, bit harder to head East. after 20 min I found someone heading to Dole who dropped me at a service station (bois guillerot) to get on the West East axis. There wasn't much traffic and it was brutally cold but only waited 15min before I got a lift to Freiburg.
