A guy and a girl on a Thursday at noon without a sign. I would say this spot is good even though people globally ignored us completely. A nice Polish guy helped us to get to Brussel while we were moving to test the best thumb spots.

A guy and a girl on a Thursday at noon without a sign. It was a good spot : there is little place to stop, but traffic is good and slow. It might be a bit dangerous, but not so much and two cars stopped to help us in 10min. We got a ride with the second car to the petrol station in the direction of Brussels.

Unexpectatly, this turned out to be a bad spot (during summer). Lots of cars just packt with families, or just a lot of people who did not feel like taking us. We had to wait more than 90 mins and get into 3 cars to get to our destination. The first one took time, the last 2 were merely minutes. Anyway, luckely there was La Chouffe from the tab available at the camping on the other side of the street 😇.

Very good spot, there is space to stop and the cars are going a reasonable speed. I did get stopped by the police while i was walking to the spot. In the end they did tell me it is okay to hitchhike there, so no problems.

Easy spot on the car parking near highway in direction of Germany close to the airport.

There were no trains or buses to Cologne, the earliest would be in 4 hours, but I am impatient af. Saw it on Google map, came here, approached a truck with German plate numbers and got a direct ride to Cologne. Ez

Tried to get from here to Belgium as I've heard of people being stranded further down at Folkestone/Dover. Am aware that channel crossings are challenging so I won't let my ambitious targets hurt the rating of this spot.

Was offered a ride once every hour but none of them were to Belgium or even across the channel.

5 hours in I decided any car that could take me further along the M20 would work, and got a ride to Dover 5 minutes later.

I put an extra pin here as this spot worked much better than the spot near the gas station. Cars are forced to slow down, they have time to access you, and you can sit on the rocks to put yourself on the same eye level as them.

Has a rest area and a gas station. After trying some things I got a petty lift from a couple who were chilling there. Pretty good lift because it took me to Breda. (I think people didn't take me because my sign said Belgium and they don't understand that they don't have to bring me all the way)

Poland is so easy to hitchike broo random bus stops I didn't even have a sign and a guy in a TRUCK stopped on the bus stop and took me to tarnow. Poland is the easiest country to autostop in my opinion (I've hitchhiked in Germany, Belgium, france, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, bosnia so I guess I know what I'm saying)

Waited quite long, tried asking people around for a lift to Basel/Bern. There are swiss cars passing by, but I was offered to go to North mostly (even to Belgium). Despite the wait, it's a good spot to get a ride in many directions. (Cars mostly from D & F, but also many I, NL, B, CH, occasionaly even S, L, UK. Probably good to have a sign.

If you are going south and get offered a ride only to Mullhouse it's probably better to reject the offer and wait for longer ride, since there are not such places like this one to wait at.

18:00 to 19:00 on a Friday, very practical spot. If planning to travel up east to Germany, hold a sign for Eupen. A sign meant for any further and the cars won't stop. From Eupen, it will be much easier to hitchhike onwards.

This spot is best for direction west (Belgium)
