Its a good place for asking drivers directly, not so good if you prefer just hitchhike on the end of the station cause there is not much place to stop there and cars come from more directions. Waited quite long (but refused short rides), then got a lift to Heidelberg.

Gut aus Saarbrücken heraus zu erreichen aber wenig Verkehr hält an dieser Tanke (nur noch Tanke, Imbiss ist geschlossen).
Hatte Glück und hab Leute aus meiner Heimat getroffen nach ca, 45 Minuten Richtung Heidelberg.

Good to reach from Saarbrücken but not many traffic. There ist just a petrol station (no more Bistro).
I had luck and meet people from my home area after round 45 minutes in Direction Heidelberg.

This place was very good. I came here with the last people that pickes me up. To continue my journey to Frankfurt I asked the people directly, the first try was successful and two guys from Heidelberg took me with to Frankfurt Airport.

Very difficult to get a ride to Nürnberg A6. Waited for hours. Perfect place for Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Köln, Hamburg.

50min waiting for a ride to Heidelberg. Seems like a good spot to me. Two cars already stopped before but both going to Frankfurt.

A spot to hitch towards Heilbronn, Stuttgart.
I hitched just next to the autobahn sign. There is not much space to pull over, but I got a ride within 5 minutes, who actually drove to Heidelberg, but decided to help me and brought me directly to Stuttgart.

Nearly none in the Direction of Cologne

Very good location. I was trying to get from Cologne to Nurnburg, my lift from Cologne was going south at Frankfurt towards Heidelberg so I got dropped off here at this station. I got a lift with a crazy lady in a peaugot 306 cc that drove +200km/h in the dark (got picked up at 4pm winter time) - drove me all the way to Nurnburg A3/A9 intersection

Gast station. Next gas station from Frankfurt.
Get here by bus:
Take the 751 (Airport Terminal 1) to Grfenhausen-Postplatz. Go to Hauptstarsse, turn right, then left on Trifftweg, go in the direction on Steinrodsee, 4th right, then left, and you will see the Gas Station.

Direction: A5 South Darmstadt, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Switzerland)

Tried to go East towards Nürnberg (and eventually Berlin) - got hooked up by a car dropping me beyond Mannheim and Heidelberg. Perfect place!
