Not a bad spot, I hitched a Porsche all the way to the German border. Ask around, somebody will get you a ride.

The first car I approached took me all the way to Leipzig, look for German licence plates and they have Bundesrepublik on their plates.

Quite a lot of traffic, the best option when coming from west-fyn heading towards cph

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

It’s a really great place to get picked up to leave Holstebro around Denmark

Decent for going to Rødby. If you want a lift that goes all the way across the ferry, it might be worth it to try here instead of in Rødby since you can’t hitchhike close to the ferry

Sønderjysk konspirationsteoretiker denne gang. Folk holder typisk ind på svingbanen så det er lidt sketch men ok. Alternativt kan man få dem til at holde ved p-pladsen der ligger lige ved.

Roundabout, good spot to pull over, perfect for getting to Silkeborg. Driver said hitchhikers are (relatively) common in the area.

Good spot from getting from Himmelbjerget towards Silkeborg, though cars are a bit fast. Walk to the straight part of the road for better visibility.

I was standing right between the highway and the exit. A truck driver stopped briefly at the exit and gave me a ride. From my point of view, it was a very good spot, but it could also have been luck.

A guy and a girl on a Monday afternoon without a sign. This spot is good in theory : cars don't go that fast and there is place for them at the bus stop. We got a ride to Fleisberg after waiting quite a while.
Our driver seemed to be worried about our paper situation, so maybe people are scared of other people crossing the border here...

There isn't any place for cars to stop here anymore. You can use the bus stop further north, but this area is not great... Avoid it if you can!

A guy and a girl on a Monday at noon without a sign. This spot should be ok, but we only got local traffic to Kolding. We got dropped at an even worst place... Might be better to ask around or wait for cars to Hamburg (HH plates).

A guy and a girl on a Sunday at noon without a sign. I don't see where the other person hitchhiked here, there is no place in the roundabout. There is a lot of traffix though, so we tried at the exit of the gas station; even though not a lot of people pass though the exit, at least we could also hitchhike the people in the roundabout. Eventually someone stopped - very unsafely - in the roundabout and brought us a bit north of the German border.

Perfect spot to go to north, with the bus stop cars have great space to stop.

Good spot with more than enough space for cars to stop. There are traffic lights so cars will see you.

Quiete a good spot towards Denmark and Sweden, unfortunately I arrived at 5 pm at Buddikate Ost and until I gave up at 8 pm I want able to get a lift towards the ferry in Puttgarden, quiet soon after arriving at the petrol station though I met multiple truck driver who would head towards Sweden the next morning (I thought that I would be able to catch a ride that evening so I didn't paided sufficient attention to this). After sleeping in my tent I got up the next morning and was able to catch a ride after waiting for two hours

Solo female, at sunset/night. Not many cars, most of them going towards Denmark (should be quite easy that direction). I asked around with sign Kiel and ended up getting a lucky ride.

100% doable to hitchhike somebody taking the ferry to denmark, just stand a bit further than the roundabout in the direction of terminals. at the gate the driver just says one more person, they pay the same amount. on the ferry get out of the car and ask around for a ride or just enjoy and walk off via pedestrian gate, nobody checks once you're on. safe travels!

Big rest area with a petrol station, toilets, and options to camp. Good for getting a ride to Malmö or Denmark. At the petrol station you can charge your phone and sit.

Many reviews saying that it should be really easy to get to Denmark. Surprisingly we didn't meet a lot of Danish cars there. After 30mins of asking around we met a guy going all the way to Netherlands. (He had a really small car though).

Probably a good spot if you stick with one plan. I constantly switched between asking cars that tanked and standing at the traffic light hoping someone would pick me up. In the end I got so desperate I even started asking the people that stopped at the red light and that’s how I got picked up to get into Denmark (7 to 8 am)

the only Gas station directly on the highway between Rostock and Greifswald.
It serves both directions but there were more people for direction east. I was ther on a work day noon in winter. There was not super much trafic but some cars would still come. Most people were going to Poland or Stralsund. One person would be driving towards schwerin, one person to magdeburg. Few people were going to Rostock and on a ferry to Denmark. Only few people were going west. It took me 4 hours until a person agreed to take me to Lübeck.
So all in all I´d recomend if you wanna go Stralsund or Poland. If you wanna go further west I'd recomend to get out on one of the parking areas on the highway or to hitch somewhere from rostock. this place sucks.

Great place to hitch toward Denmark. It is where tons of Danes go to shop groceries at cheaper German prices! Tons of Danes from all over.

Officisl hitchhiking spot. We tried going to Denmark/Flensborg with a sign that said Flensburg/Rendsburg and did not find a ride in one hour, so we changed route and went to Neumunster and changed side on the A7 at one of the exits

I asked people if they are going direction Denmark. A lot of cars going that way. Had luck and found someone who took me all the way to Copenhagen. Recommend to switch here if you want to go further North.

Much traffic going north (Sweden, Denmark, Norway). I was going back to Norway, asked a Norwegian driver, but his car was full. Then after 10 minutes a girl with a small dog came to me and asked me "Hi, What is your story?". Hehe then she asked me if I had a driving licence and if I drank alcohol that day. So she was going to Gøteborg and then to Stockholm. She asked me if I would like to join her and help her driving to Copenhagen. So I became her driver that day and did it to Copenhagen.
At that gas station you should even use "Oslo" sign :))) it is what I exactly did - I had 3 signs, i.e. Bremen, Hamburg, Oslo.

This gas station was perfect during the heavy rain. 40 mins only with a sign "Hamburg" and got a ride. The car was going far in Denmark but I got off at the gas station in Karlslunde.

Bus stop. Big pull over area but just around corner from roundabout. Not perfect but after 20 mins someone pulled over (but going wrong way), 15 later another one did who took me west to the sandy lighthouse thing!. There is a sign saying no pedestrians just beyond the bus stop, so you can't hitch further along the road. Busstop was quiet do no audience. Denmark, so of course everyone speaks english
