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.

Great spot if you’re heading towards Hamburg. For Amsterdam, you might have to wait longer. But once you pass Hannover, there are more cars heading towards the Netherlands.

No fence, easy to get to from the Centre of Hamburg. Was hitchhiking at night, about 2-3am, 2nd car I asked picked me up

Solo 19M. There is A fence, no gate was open when I went there, so had to climb it, however if you’re agile it’s not hard. Started asking around at 21:00 and a couple took me in 30 mins to Hamburg.

Super quick lift to above hamburg

You have to wait a little but it's fully doable. I rejected fiew rides to Hamburg itself and went with driver who was going towards Bremen however during ride I found out that my driver was actually going towards the Netherlands so I decided to go there with him. At the spot itself there is nice forest for camping at night, you can access it by first crossing first fence using an open entrence for service road located in between two fences, then go litte bit north till you se place in which fence has been cutted. Then you are here, actually I would say that this spot is much better for sleeping than previous little bit up north of here and yes, thumbing at the exit works, you just need to be patient so if you are shy like me just stand there and somebody will stop

First I tried to get behind Hamburg towards Hanover but only people who stopped were going into Hamburg itself. After some waiting I decided to accept ride to another gas station little bit closer to Hamburg

Good spot for leaving hamburg, place to stop

Good for a Ride a north Germany (Bremen Hamburg)

11am on a Friday, was very lucky. I was dropped here by a guy going to hamburg (I needed to go to Rostock/copenaghen) and I think this was the best spot, better than the one just after. There were quite a few cars and in the end a guy bought me all the way to copenaghen, ferry included.

Got a ride to Hamburg by asking around

Two of us, waited for 15min. Stood with three signs: E47, Rødby and Hamburg. Got picked up by a lovely couple going south.

literally the first truck I asked told me that he would pick me up and go to Hamburg. 9:30am on friday

Got off here from a lift to Hamburg thinking i might be able to catch a car going north, skipping the city, but that was the worst decision of the day. Almost all traffic going to Hamburg only, and few filled family cars going north, so ended up jumping on a car to Hamburg and was dropped off at an entrance to the A7 heading north which was a much better idea and got a lift north instantly from there. So if you are going north, dont fight it and go to Hamburg first.

Came out of the bathroom and a guy offered me a ride to berlin. Station seemed super busy so if he hadnt been so nice i would have aimed for a lift further towards hamburg

Had a sign for Hamburg which was too optimistic, therefore the long wait time, bring sign for Berlin instead. Otherwise great spot, lots of traffic. There was a lot of people working at the toll who passed me doing their thing, and they did not bother me once. To get here a friend dropped me on the back road next to the highway, and I jumped the fence 200 m west of the toll where there is a gate that is sturdy and easy to climb, but still about 2 m tall so be prepared.

The guy of the petrol station told us not to ask the drivers and we had a sign "Hamburg" for cars on the road but we waited for 1h30 before changing spot because no one stopped.

Not that many cars passing, lots of them going to Hamburg but we were trying to go into Hannover. We waited like an hour then decided to take the bus that was just next to it so still a good spot to go into Hannover
