Great spot next to a gas station. Got picked up with a thumb+ sign to Hamburg / South. It was a worker going home, but ended driving me to Rodbyhavn to catch a ferry to Germany.

This is a shitty spot to get north but there is some traffic to Hamburg I always prefer being dropped at a gas station or resting area where it's just one direction so if you have the opportunity for that do that I waited in the evening so there wasn't much traffic to Flensburg so I ended up waiting more than 2 hours until it got dark but luckily there is a resting area 2km away to which I just walked where I slept in my tent In the morning I got a ride from there on in less than a minute (but even though I got lucky with that I would usually just ask people to bring you to the next bigger gas station with better traffic and try to get a long ride from there on) So if you have the chance try to get dropped off there or at some gas station before this place And DONT trust people who never hitchhiked before in saying which spots are good to get the next ride had to learn it the hard way But if you're already there keep up the smile and good luck and keep in mind even if it doesn't work out you can just walk to the next better spot you're going to get a ride sooner or later anyways :)

Traffic could be better but isn't bad I waited about 40 minutes with a Hannover sign and got a ride all the way to Hamburg Most cars are from Kassel but there are a lot truck drivers 3 people stopped and said there heading to Dortmund Don't forget to smile and good luck :)

People here was in a shitty mood (bad vibes), and the cafeteria was shitty. But a lot of people drives by. Got a ride to Hamburg within 10 min.

Lots of cars going towards Berlin, if you heading towards Hamburg it might be a good idea to go via Berlin. It took some time to find someone willing to take me who was going via Magdeburg.

Picked up fairly quickly although people are driving fast here and most are not willing to stop even if they went to Hamburg.

I arrived here at 18.30 which is quite late but still got a 90km ride towards hamburg. I would recomend taking the S-bahn to schulzendorf and walking the 200m to the onramp to the autobahn and just thumbing there or having a tankstelle sign to get here. I only waited 15 minutes for a ride to get to the gas station and i was there in the evening :)

Got a direct ride to berlin with a Hamburg sign

a man and his son picked us both up in their minivan and drove us to Hamburg (via ferry), it was a very scenic drive, and it was fairly easy to flag down a car

Waited a bit longer than usual, since there's no gasstation, only place to rest, not many cars around and Danes felt too comfortable to stop for us lol. But then we asked a Syrian guy and he took us to Hamburg, so after all.. good?

A bit of dead gas station. We were in the morning there but very low traffic. But eventually we found a car going to Hamburg and he even took us to hornel kreisel because we wanted to go to berlin

Seemed like a perfect spot to go to luneburg but noone took us and then the guy stoped us who said he will take us to the next road where all the traffic from north hamburg goes to luneburg and then we will catch a car for sure. So we agreed and he didnt lie. We got a car in 5 mins there but we needed to walk for 15 mins more tho there

It was evening and suprisingly low traffic going to berlin. Liek eveyone were turning away on the next highway exit which is crazy. But eventually found a guy just sitting in a car and eating burger from mcdonalds and asked and he agreed because he was driving from ukraine border to denmark and would love company. And it was super nice for me because i was trying to go to hamburg

Perfect spot for getting farther South on the Continent. LOTS of European long-distance traffic. You can stand at the exit onto the highway, but I would recommend asking around. We quickly found a ride with a Swede going all the way to Belgium, who dropped us off in Hamburg.

Legendary place for going from Hamburg to Berlin, in my experience. I’ve been picked up twice by drivers going all the way to Berlin and never had to wait more than 15 minutes. Lots of commuters pass the roundabout, traffic is slow enough to stop and there’s a wonderfully wide shoulder. Chef’s kiss.

Many cars driving by, not many looking interested. We got a ride to Hamburg after 40 minutes standing with a sign before the traffic light.

Good spot at the end to thumb. Not too much traffic. Got a ride after 20min towards Hamburg.

Don’t think the spots too good, was the only one I could get dropped of at near Berlin tho, first driver I talked to was form my country and he took me to the big tankestelle on the way to Hamburg from Berlin, saying that’s a better way to hitchhike from Berlin.

Was looking for a ride 1:30-3:30am, overall 3 people came that were going to Germany or further, first 2 had full cars but 3rd guy took me to Hamburg

Worked asking around, but there is also a decent spot for sign. Big parking lot. We were just trying to go north and ended up with a ride all the way to Hamburg. A lot of people in the late afternoon/evening when we were there.
