Extremely busy gas station. We were two dudes who looked very tired, unshaven, got a ride from a woman alone in her car.

perfect spot to go towards Luxembourg/France from Liège. We waited only 5min for a ride to a rest area :))

Many cars. Wanted to go to Koln. Found an old couple of french, very kind, who drop us of directly to Hannover. 2 men on saturday afternoon.

Wanted to go Germany, but a kind guy offered us to pickup us up to another spot. Not a lot of cars here, during lunch time on saturday. We were 2 men.

Great spot to go to the highway A40. There was a emergency lane where the cars Can safely stop. We had a sign A40 and a teacher took us (2 people and a dog+2backpacks) to the nearest big gas station on the A40. We are heading to Aachen…….

Great spot to go to Liege and direction Germany. A man and his girlfriend took us (me my girlfriend and out dog+2 backpacks) to Liege!!

Very good spot to go to Brusel. Even me and my girlfriend+our dog and 2big backpacks got a ride to Brusel. Good spot to ask people around wit a sign.

Fairly good spot but not so good for the car to stop. People had great smiles and were indicating that they were locals and not going to the gas station at Leuven…..a man took us later in the evening to the next big gas station on the E40 highway…….otherwise we (me, my girlfriend and our dog) could stand there hours and hours with so many good smiles and reactions from people!

two people and got a ride directly into Paris. With a very nice guy with whom we saw the eiffel tower

Waited for long only because we got there at 9PM at 12:30 a, we got picked up to mons and even stayed in there home for the night

very bad location, we tried so many locations at the airport and none was good

Directly got a Ride to Brussel, but other Directions are not possible to go.

Nice petrol station, not too crowded. It's great for Antwerp or furthernnorth. To go to Gent we ask a nice driver to do a quick detour, to bring us to the first gas station in direction of Gent, which is like a ten minute detour from the route to Antwerp. This was a good decision. Seems like not many cars actually take this direction.

Direction North: Apart from Brussels many cars go to Antwerp or the Netherlands. Not so much for Gent

Ĉielarko alproksimiĝis al sia fino kaj mi volis iri al la "Tramprennem" konkurso, do mi veturigis min ĉe la elirejo de la parkejo Ĉielarko, ĉar homoj foriris la tutan tempon. Kaj ili lasis min ĉe la trako. Dankon, familio, Mi ĉiam memoros ĉi tion, kaj ankaŭ kiel mi maltrafis la laborrenkontiĝon de sinjoro, kiu petveturis dum 50 jaroj... kiel mi povus esti maltrafinta ĉi tion?

La knaboj komencis iri ĉirkaŭ la strato, demandante ĉiun preterpasanton ĉu ili ne iras en tiu direkto. Kaj de tie, la onklino de unu el la knaboj, kiu donis al mi veturado per biciklo, lasis min ĉe Ĉielarko. Dankon al ĉiuj multege. El la fundo de mia koro. Miaj kelkaj tagoj ĉe Ĉielarko estis nekredeblaj.

Post eniro en Luksemburgion la antaŭan tagon kaj dormo en la arbustoj aliflanke de la benzinstacio Esso Remerschen, proksime al la akvopurigejo (tre bona por la reto), mi prenis senpagan buson al Bastogne, ĉar estis mia kvara tago survoje kaj mi jam estis laca. En Bastogne, mi trovis buson por 5 eŭroj al Marche-en-Fammene. Mi eliris ĉe la enirejo de Lignières kaj komencis petveturi; kvar infanoj veturigis min per siaj bicikloj ĝis punkto pli antaŭen.

Spot alright, rather quiet though on a Thursday morning. I had a sign saying Mons, France and asked the people that were there. In the end an older lady stopped and brought me to a petrol station about 100 km before Paris.

Great spot for the highway directionBrussel.

There’s a construction going on, so the spot is gone temporarily

Lots of folks. Got offered a ride pretty quickly to Hasselt, which was halfway to the French Ardennes we were heading to. Still rejected it, gotta stay on that main highway. As always when here, we considered accepting a ride to Eindhoven Airport to luck into a ride to Belgium there. One day we’ll try it!

In this Dutch colony you will find some cars staying in Germany and a few cars going to Belgium.

Saturday in April, either the A8 or A9 was good for my route to Belgium. Most cars were full or drove into Munich. Eventually, a business man took me in direction of Ulm.

Just arrived and we found a car with 2 belgium women. Really kind of her. Pick us up directly to liege. Definetely a very good spot.

Fabulous spot for going towards UK, Belgium, Paris. One of my favourite petrol stations in Europe.

Good spot for Belgium or the Netherlands. Takes a second to find a ride but it makes sense to wait for a longer distance ride that takes you well in the direction you want to take.

Very quick wait. Maybe I was just lucky but happened to find lots of former hitchhikers through Belgium. My lift was going to Oostende but kindly took a detour to drop me in Bruges

It’s definitely worth asking around the ferry. We looked for small groups of people seeing if they’re heading to Belgium or even Lille. Eventually found a lift to Ghent!

A long wait. There’s lots of EU number plates and truckers. A couple offers to Folkestone, a couple apologetic “we would if we had space”. Eventually we found a lift to Belgium. Unfortunately our lift would not add us to her ticket and offered to continue the lift after we had made our own way to Calais. Foot passenger ferries only come three times a day and our arrivals would not align. We got dropped at Dover

This place is counterintuitive, or I just got lucky, but I was exhausted and in a not-so-great mood, so I desperately wanted to get out of Germany. So I got a sign saying BE, and it took just a couple of minutes to get a ride to the small town of Kelmis in Belgium.

banger, i find this one reliable to go far into france direction reims. heading northwest, don't bother taking rides shorter than aire du haut-koenigsbourg. there's plenty of ppl going long distances, especially luxembourg/belgium. also loads of german cars.

Easy ride out to A1 toward north and Belgium , some traffic and trafic light for cars to stop. Picked up in 20 with a cardboard that said A1. Should be easy to get north once you are on a highway stop

nice gas station! At the dressing there are tables where you can eat and relax and if you stop in the summer can even sleep! We were thrown here at about 6 pm and by night we could not find the car, although we went to ask almost everyone, although in the morning (from 6 to 7) we were found to Dyorthmund. Most cars went to Amsterdam, some to Belgium. This is a good spot because everyone goes somewhere far away from Hanover's license plates. In general, the drivers of cars and trucks rest in the parking lot, many people can be asked

Best spot to go North from paris, a lot of Belgium cars and people going to Lille.

Ok, this was not great spot south, if you are heading south I would discourage you from going here, but it was kinda nice spot towards Belgium. Be aware a lot of migrants are lurking around after dark, we had two of them jump on top of our truck and drove them to Belgium (they were not happy about that and banged on our roof). It was definitely one of my crazier stories, but it was kinda fun. Just to be aware of that. (Normally I would sleep around here, but I would never sleep in this place, it was not safe, therefore I went back north to Belgium)

BAD SPOT TO GO TO KÖLN. Was unlucky because nobody went there but very lucky to have a guy that dropped me to my final destination in Belgium. Thanks Dariusz! :) asked around

I was desperate because it was really cold and windy and rainy. Like the worst weather ever to hitchhike. I asked a bit around with no success but still had ok feedbacks. Kicked out of the MacDonald (fair enough) decided to use thumb and sign "A4 West" and got a lift to Francfort. In my case I will be dropped at the gas station Reinhardshain Nord to go to Köln and Belgium. Thanks Heike!

Good space to pull in, many cars. We found a lovely guy going to Belgium after just about 5 minutes.

Approached someone and immediately got a ride to Belgium. This seems like the best way to get from Koln to the west. Highly recommended!

May favourite starting spot to get out of the area to the Netherlands/Belgium/France. So far has worked out for me fairly quickly every single time. This review is super late, but I was there in May in the afternoon and found folks going my direction in half an hour by asking around. It only took half an hour because they wanted to finish their meal (which, totally fair.) I think the finding itself only took about 10 minutes.
