Waited with a sign in rush hour traffic (6:45am) a few meters in front of the bus stop. Really good spot because it is just a few meters from the highway onramp to Saarbrücken. A sign could really help because most of the people are going to Saarlouis.rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min 🪧, ride: 24 km ↘

Took us 40-45 minutes, great spot. If you're stuck in Saarbrücken and need to get back on track towards Germany I suggest hitchhike to this station (20 mins) which is much better servedrating: 5/5, wait: 40 min, ride: 125 km ↘

A small local gas station, but a good spot if you’re heading to Kaiserslautern—there’s plenty of local traffic. Hopefully, this spot works well for trips toward Trier, Saarbrücken, or even France too.rating: 5/5, wait: 40 min 🪧, ride: 25 km →

Couldn't get to Saarbrücken or even Kaiserslautern for 3 hours, then accepted an offer towards Mannheim. There's a fair amount of local traffic here according to the driver.―Anonymous, June 2020

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.

great for france/switzerland, as description says, not so great place for direction Saarbrücken. Took 4 hours until I finally managed to drive with someone in the direction.―Anonymous, August 2016

The next Service Station to the North is in about 20 Kilometers right before Pont-a-Mousson (so in case the driver goes to Pont-a-Mousson he could drop you at this station).There it is very easy to find cars to Metz/ Netherlands/ Luxenburg. some cars also go to the North of Germany but it is very difficult to find cars in the direction Saarbrücken.

One guy, one girl weekday 6PMHeading north for Saarbrücken/Luxembourg. Waited for three hours and got no ride. Almost only locals. On the next day tried to hitchhike in the morning for one hour and a half with the same result. Not recommendable. There are some nice places to sleep, though.

I got lifts to Saarbrücken or at least to the Rasthof RAMSTEIN or Raststätte WALDMOHR. Looks calm, but absolutely easy-going.―Tommy90, July 2015

Depending on where you go, it's definitely a good spot. If you are planning to go back to direction Saarbrücken coming from Luxembourg, it is a hard spot if you wanna find a direct hitch.We then decided to take the route via Metz to SB. To Metz/Nancy/Thionville it's easy to find cars.

ce n'est pas un super spot pour aller du cote de Francfort. Les gens vont apparemment plutot du cote de Saarbrücken / Metz...―Anonymous, December 2012

Depending on your direction it's a pretty good place to either get to Mannheim or North towards Frankfurt.I tried making it to France (via K'lautern and Saarbrücken) and failed miserably. I definitely wouldn't recommend hitching from here, but rather trying to get south on the A5 towards Strasbourg, that worked fine.
