Two nice people stopped me when getting off the ferry asking where I was going. I said Tønder, but they were only going to Gråsten. When we reached Gråsten, the very nice man asked if I didn't just want a ride all the way to Tønder. Very very nice of him.

Got a ride with a very nice lady, who was on her way home only 100m away. She chose to drive me alle the way to the ferry and took 20 minutes out of her way to do so.

Stood by the main road by IKEA, since the tram didn't drive further, and i was on my way to the motorway. I stood with a sign saying 'Ærø' and got a lift to Svendborg.

Very good spot. I stood with a sign saying 'Odense' and got a ride to Korup on the outskirts of Odense, wherefrom i could take a bus into town.

Got stuck here in the evening, not many cars driving. Stood with a sign saying 'Odense' for a good while, until I gave up, and used just my thumb. Then I got a ride to southern Vejle

Very fine spot, since there is a lane for turning left where people can hold.

Not the best place to stop, and very exposed to the elements. But got out quickly.

Not so many cars but got a ride quickly. Good place to stop is unfortunately after the highway sign

Not the best place to stop, but the best place in Esbjerg to catch out according to the locals

Good spot to get out of Esbjerg, but I probably got lucky with a quick ride as well

Best spot for going on ferry to Rostock! There is a place for cars to stop next to the road. Good traffic!

We had a sign for Berlin but were aiming for Denmark, got picked up by a lovely couple who took us all the way to Flensburg and let us stay with them overnight.

It took me just a few minutes to find a Polish truck heading to the island of Fyn in Denmark. This spot is nice, and there are plenty of cars here.

Great spot, there is a lot of cars going to Denmark. I got a polish truck going all the way to the Fyn island, which was good spot as well.

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.
