Good spot, we think. It seems to be a regular spot for hitchhikers heading south/southwest/west. We stood by the western on-ramp to the autobahn. Not a lot of traffic, but we also arrived late in the day. P.S. There’s a shower: think about using it you bum!We were two guys hitchhiking late in the afternoon/evening. We were signaling to go for Leipzig/Magdeburg. The hour was late in the day, so when a driver offered us a ride to Leipzig we accepted. In hindsight, we should probably have headed straight west towards Magdeburg/Hannover, since it was difficult to plan the route after stopping on the road to, or in, Leipzig. We were heading northwest after Leipzig towards Göttingen/Kassel via the A38. We did however get onto the A38 by sheer luck, the driver’s poor sense of direction and him being a bit creepy (esoteric guy that let us lie in the back of his van). Stay safe out there folks.

Two guys hitchhiking. We hitchhiked here from Wannsee to Potsdam intending to head southwest, either to Leipzig or Magdeburg. We hiked from here since there was construction at the on ramp to the autobahn in Nikolasse. We were picked up quite quickly and there’s a busstop + handicapparking where the drivers can pick you up.Please note that if you just want to get to Potsdam you can take the S-bahn from Berlin instead.

Right now the road to leipzig is in construction and it is a terrible spot. Just with 2 buses (30 minutes) you can go yo a yet gas station that is a little bit south. Very good that one.rating: 1/5, wait: 80 min

Very good spot to go in direction of Leipzig. Cars can stop very easily. And as they have to drive around the corner before they are going slowly and have enough time to see you :)rating: 5/5, wait: 4 min 👍, ride: 44 km ←

Held up a sign with Erfurt/Leipzig/Berlin and my thumb out on a Sunday noon. Got picked up after 40 minutes for a 90km ride to an autobahn gas station and from there it was easy sailing (asked people directly and two more drivers gave me a ride within a few minutes)rating: 4/5, wait: 40 min 👍, ride: 94 km ↑

Was pessimistic at first because a lot of local license plates, but after half an hour talking to drivers we found a lift to Leipzig! At noonish on a weekday not a lot of traffic on the on-slip though, talking to drivers is the way :-)rating: 5/5, wait: 30 min 💬, ride: 172 km ↙

We thumbed here with a sign for Leipzig for ~2hrs and didn't a lift. Its's a difficult place for cars to stop and also on a wednesday there was pretty much only local drivers. Maybe on a nicer day or in the summer its a better but we had no luck. Later we went to the rasthof near nikolassee and got a hitch in 30 minutes!

it's my new favourite spot to go from leipzig to berlin. you can go there by bus and walk a little. not super busy but more rewarding than thumbing at dölzig a little more northrating: 5/5, wait: 1 min 💬, ride: 123 km ↗

Surprisingly good spot. I was there in winter on a friday noon and there was a lot of traffic. Every minute a new car. It is easy to have overview there since nearly everyone just goes to the toilet and back to their car. Since there was so many cars it ight be even better than a petrol station for changing a car. There were both people going towards dresden and towards Leipzig.rating: 5/5, wait: 60 min, ride: 109 km ↑

This gas station has very little trafic. I spent 3 hours looking for a lift to A9 (leipzig). I did not get one. There were few people going in direction of Chemnitz and Poland. There were also few people going to Czech. But yeah it was generaly very little cars to ask. In the end i gave up on the spot and hitched on a regional road to A9.rating: 2/5, wait: 191 min
