After 1,5h we got two ride-offers simultaneously! A German family offered to take us all the way to Hamburg with the ferry.
Tip: have a walk around in the ferry and use that time to network and find your next ride if you hear the language of the next country you’re heading towards! We heard a few Dutch families (but their cars were full).

The spot can be slightly dangerous to reach if there is lots of traffic, but for us at 10am it was fine. We got a ride to the Karlslunde station which put us on the right direction to head to Germany. Make sure to stand on the grass rather than the asphalt, some trucks pulled over just to take a break but their visibility might not be so great.

Waited very short time on the sidewalk. Two cars stopped before, but they were going to Copenhagen. Very good spot

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

This is a very good spot for going north. You are almost promised a ride all the way to Kolding.

Not a lot of people going far. Unlucky to end up in Tinglev. Got picked up by a guy getting home from work, who took a detour to get me to the motorway.

Not a very good place to hitch a ride, but it seems like the best place to go east from Tønder.

This spot it bad. Instead, hitch out to the ferry terminal by standing here with a sign "Ud til færgen". Catching this type of ride is always fast, as both ferry guests as well as people working at the habour will pick you up.
From the ferry terminal hitch a ride to you desired destination.

Great spot to catch traffic going north, which is where you wanna be at on this island. Maybe check to see when cars arrive from ferry to time it perfectly. Hitchhiking is by far the best option because the bus service sucks and is super expensive

No longer a viable spot to catch the ferry, since the ferry is no longer taking off from this spot

Great place to wait, just watch out for the trucks that sometimes use the dirt lane to turn (where you are probably standing). This highway ramp was opened in 2020 so disregard comments from before then

Var lidt skeptisk over at skulle blaffe fra Låsby, men blev samlet op af bil nummer 2. Ikke så god plads til at stoppe før motorvejsskiltet

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.
