Got offered a ride to Osnabrück almost immediately, but we had to wait for the car to be charged. In the meantime, we found a ride all the way to Hamburg. Good spot for travelling far into Germany!rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 290 km ↗

it's not worth trying, all traffic is for the city, tried other spots nearby too but didn't work. (it was dark already which definitely didn't help)ended up asking someone to take me to the bus stop "Osnabrück, Kurt-Schumacher-Damm"

Highway service stations are always good, didn't take me long to get to the service station after Osnabrück, and from there to Köln.Possible to walk through from the nearby village, but it's a little far.

We liked that place a lot. Wee took train+bus from Osnabrück Main Station to Lengerich Abzw. Tecklenburg, from there it was a 10 Minutes Walk. We got a lift to Duisborg after 15 minutes, without using a sign.―Anonymous, February 2020

Wanted to go (Me+girl) to Berlin (over Hannover) on a Tuesday 15:00. Waited 3 h. Then changed plans to Hamburg because everyone was driving there and waited till 20:00. Then we sadly drove back (over Osnabrück) to Essen. Really bad for East over Hannover. Definitely okay for further north.―Maxdubi, March 2017

It was a Sunday in February, so I guess that explains my long waiting time, too - - wanted to go to the Netherlands via Osnabrück, but it was extremely hard to find people not following the A2 but going the A30. It's a really perfect place to go to cities like Dortmund (other hitchhiker I met there had to wait for only 30min that day) also on a Sunday there were many many dutch and polish people passing going back to the Netherlands, if they are not full, they will take you! In this case it is a very good place for getting direct rides to the Netherlands! Wait for someone that can take you far! I was lucky enough to find some dutch people taking me to the doorstep!―Moelie, February 2015

Pretty good place to go east. I was here in the dark on an early Monday morning in January (during rush hour) and didn't get sent away. Found a ride to Osnabrück in about 20-30 minutes.―Maxim1110, February 2015

Many locals, but also some cars going to osnabrück and also direction netherlands. The spot near the traffic lights worked good for me. I was very lucky, got a lift direct to the border germany/netherland (A33-A30).―Dersoeren, June 2014

really not much sense hitchhiking to netherlands from this spot, it's much better to try to catch someone coming from Bremen (a1) above osnabrück. got stuck here for quite some time.―Anonymous, June 2011
