Held a sign for Basel/Switzerland, waited 35 Minutes for a Ride to Basel, bc we where 2 persones it took a while Longer, while waiting 2 Cars offered a ride to Basel but only with enough space for 1 of Us. So Great Spot to hitch southwards.

Couple hitchhiking. We caught a ride with a wonderful Ukrainian truck driver to northern France with a sign saying Belgium. Many families with very little space in their cars and many heading to Achen. Bit tiresome.

Great big gas station. I got a ride all the way to Czech republic. A lot of trucks and pretty high traffic.

Couple hitchhiking. We slept in the forest for the night and started our quest at 10am. Many families and filled up cars on their way home or towards holidays, so it was hard to find a ride despite quite a lot of cars stopping for food or toilet. We dropped the signs and asked directly. Toilets and ATM at the spot. Lots of love to Ivana, the cleaning lady. Finally found a father and daughter heading to Köln.

Bit hard for cars to stop but nice way to get started further

Perfect place for a ride into Stuttgart.

Most cars went south, not really east.

A lovely man came up to us for a ride to Karlsruhe in a beautiful porsche.

Difficult place for cars to stop, we got lucky. We were almost waiting by the next junction

A bit difficult for cars to stop, but we got lucky

Didn't work for us for going south. We went to a other place

Good place even in evning. All cars from lindau goes thru this point on the highway + there is a lot of option where to hichhike. I did crosswalk but could also talk to people on gass station or waited next to mcdonal

Got a ride to Berlin relatively easily by asking around

Got a ride to Hamburg by asking around

Not the best spot to get to Poland. Tried asking people but most were going to Czechia. Eventually got a ride to the border of Poland with just thumb.

literally the first truck I asked told me that he would pick me up and go to Hamburg. 9:30am on friday

Terrible

Evening, a Danish truck driver came to me and offered me a ride to Padborg, just over the border. Got out at the Froslev Ost station and camped at the lake.

Stood at the exit with the HAM sign. In a bit I got a ride with the sweetest van driver ever. We had big language barrier, but we had so much fun. All the way to Flensburg.

I was probably very lucky but a guy took me all the way behind Berlin with almost 0 waiting time. Asking around seems like a good option here, since not so much traffic goes around.

Surprisingly quick with no sign. Took us to Germany

10/10 place to go to Germany/Füssen. I literally just held up my thumb with the sign, and the first car stopped for me.

the spot is a bit complicated, it’s not clear when the driver just wants to enter the gas station or to pick you up.. and the waiting time was long, maybe it’s just the case in Germany

I came here thinking it would be a good place to talk to people directly—at the gas station, in the parking lot, or by talking to truck drivers—and it really is. But I was literally stuck here for four hours, asking people if they were heading to Germany—ideally Nürnberg. Everyone said no; they were either full or only going to nearby villages (even the truck drivers here didn't want to pick anyone up). Fortunately, the last driver was heading to Domažlice, which was a salvation for me at that moment.

not the best spot for getting to long distance in germany (like bremen or hambourg) most of the people are from netherlands and getting stuff here cuz it’s cheaper however the place is really good bc most of the cars are getting slow bc of the frontier so i recommend to get a sign with just like ‘bremen or before’ on it (work for me) and good luck😸

the hitchhike official spot was close so i gets there not the best spot ever for getting to germany but it work for me, someone took me at the gas station at the border (i got a sign with only ‘germany’ on it)

Good spot in general. Free WiFi btw. I asked around to go to Germany. And after 20 minutes a German guy agreed to take me close to Freiburg. 1 male.

Two people, got a ride fairly quickly by asking around. Initially to Warsaw but they decided to drop us off much further towards Germany

Two guys heading north, had a sign saying Austria/Germany. Asked people outside the shop and eventually got a lift to Munich.

A small gas station with a parking. I can't say it was the greatest one, but still a good one. I got lucky and got a ride near Wurzburg, Germany.

Good spot with long distance traffic, got a ride to Germany but not through the A2 so got down at another big MOP.

Lots of traffic, refused a few rides to Warsaw to try and go further towards Germany without getting stuck. Found a guy going the Netherlands that unfortunately couldn't take us all the way but took us to another big MOP near Konin. Couple F/M stood by the exit with sign and thumbs.

In 1 hour I got a ride to Lyon. I tried to get a ride to Germany, but most card were with holiday couples who didn't stop..

Arrived at midnight and asked drivers pulling in for rides toward Germany. Lots of false starts and difficulty given the hour, but a good ride to Berlin (Michendorf) within about two hours in the early morning/late night I consider reasonable. There was quite a bit of traffic given the time, though much of it couples with packed cars. Hitching in the day I don’t think you’d be waiting very long.

Lots of people going different ways (Germany, Netherlands) and far away. The did not always have enough space but a guy that went to Berlin took us in less than 30 minutes.

TAKE HEED, and if you are going to Germany do NOT get dropped off here. A ride said he would drop me at the BP station, by which I thought he meant the BP on the highway a few kilometers back. No. There is also a BP on the other side of the highway here, but meant for the traffic entering Poland. It seemed too far to walk and so I tried hitching the on-ramp toward Germany, and in the 2.5 hours I waited 39 vehicles entered the highway (21 trucks, 18 cars). I had one offer, to an onramp in the country between there and Cottbus. The only good thing about this on-ramp is that there is a 24-hour supermarket across the road. Unlike the BP across the highway there is a more even spread between truck drivers going to Germany or Poland stopping, as there is also an enormous truck parking facility there. In the morning you’d probably have better luck asking around, and will have some luck asking those who park for the market, though with the attendant legwork and guessing at which direction the truckers are going. If you are dropped here, walk the kilometre south to SPEED gas station, which is where the few trucks that do exit here go to fill up. Don’t bother with the BP; you’ll quickly see that 90% of the traffic is going to Poland. Don’t bother with the BP station, that is, UNLESS it is to get a ride to the Moya gas station 5 km further into Poland. That’s what I eventually did. Run across the highway there to the CORRECT BP when going into Germany. Just about all of the traffic there is heading to Germany, and there is much, much more of it.

There passes enough cars. Asked some people but not many wanted to take us or didn’t go far, but a really friendly couple of the Netherlands took us to Rothenburg Germany and took us the next day again to Linz Austria, they even bought us food and gave 20 euros

Tourist from germany took me to bale. A lot of traffic but no place to stop. Shitty spot

It is a good place. But we wanted to go to the Germany. There were many Germans on the gas station and they were completely full. So we waited there a long time. After that we got a long ride. Than we were said that in Germany there is some holiday ending. So everyone is heading back with full cars. It was a sunday noon - afternoon

Wanted to get to Bern, after 50 minutes we got a ride to solothurn. On our way back we wanted to get to Freiburg Germany, after 1 Hour only 1 German car drove by, most germans get fuel right behind the border i guess. Eventually we got a ride to airport Basel where we didnt even have to wait 5 Minutes to get to Freiburg.
