On a Monday in mid July around 8 pm there were hardly any cars and no one was going in the direction of Kassel. After 45 minutes of waiting I ended up accepting a ride to Frankfurt since I had gone the route from there before and it seemed more reliable. Bonus points for the cute kitten at the gas station though.rating: 1/5, wait: 45 min 💬, ride: 189 km ↙

Good spot, even if not super busy. I got lucky and found someone to take me in the direction of Kassel fairly quickly. It was around 7:30 pm on a Monday in mid July.rating: 3/5, wait: 8 min 👍, ride: 63 km ←

Before we write a sign to Kassel, one old man stopped us, but it was more luck then advantage of the spot. And he took us only to some weirdly big gas station out of the city, where we stucked for cca 3 hours. But maybe, i think it is good spot, traffic is strong there to A70 and A7. But big problem is Schweinfurt at all, because locals do not stop, it is a deaf place. Hitchhikers in Wurzburg told us the same. So it is better to run away from Schweinfurt.rating: 2/5, wait: 10 min

Run away. This spot sucks. We wanted to get to Fulda/Kassel or just Autobahn 7 but nobody stoped. People who definately went there, they were just pretending they dont and LKW drivers slept there, so they didnt give us ride. There are just locals, who are going there for Mc or just shopping. They were smiling but we felt just like bunnies. Dont let happen that you stuck there for hitchhiking. We went back to Schweinfurt with young german local, who was pitty about us.rating: 1/5, wait: 180 min

After trying all day to get out of Frankfurt we spent the ~€5 to get to Friedrichsdorf and got to this spot at about 20:00. The 2nd person we asked gave us a ride to Kassel. In my experience the best way to get out of Frankfurt.―Anonymous, July 2018

For Chemnitz and the center of Leipzig, this is a very good spot. But for Kassel/ Göttingen we waited 1,5 hours. It was the thrid car to head this destination in this period of time. The journey from Leipzig took us very long as well. Pack some food and a good load of time for this one.―Anonymous, August 2017

Getting to Kassel is super easy. If you want to get south, ask to get dropped at a small parking along the highway, because there is no more service area before Kassel. And freaking everybody is going to Kassel―Thumb-up, April 2017

bus stop on B7 towards Kassel or Eschwege. Also works for going to Treffurt if you have a sign.―Anonymous, July 2016

Good spot to get to Kassel as many cars head in that direction. For going further south, north or west it is more difficult. If you want to go west ask for a ride to the Exit Wilhelmshhe on the A44. That spot is basically still in Kassel. From there you can easily hitchhike to Dortmund and further.―Anonymous, June 2016

A lot of People in the direction Nürnberg or Erfurt and it is also possible to get a hitch on the A38 to Kassel.I used this spot a lot of times and usual waiting time is 30 minutes.
Normally I use a sign with 'A9'.

Big on-ramp. Not a lot of traffic to Kassel though. Better spot would be further east.―Anonymous, May 2016

On-ramp for the highway 33 in direction Paderborn, Kassel. It was very unbusy when we tried it on a thursday evening. but that made it possible for the cars to stop on the on-ramp. It is rather spacious, but I do not think that it will work in the morning, when a lot of people use it to get to work.―Anonymous, May 2016

Ask people at McDonnalds. It´s a common meeting point for sharing rides (e.g. Blablacar etc). I was waiting 5 min to get a ride to the first service station on the motorway to Chemnitz and 10 min for a ride to Leipzig/Kassel―Anonymous, August 2015
