Perfect to Come to Berlin

It is very difficult to hitch out of Dresden towards the south. This may be the best spot though. There is a bus station and a traffic light right next to it. Tip: Use a sign.

waited for more than two hours on a monday morning, inscriptions on the nearby column are telling the stories of other waiting hitchhikers and my ride told me that she had to wait longer and longer on this spot during the last years, the circuit still seems to be the best option towards Berlin

Towards Müllrose, Frankfurt, okay spot in the town with slow speeds and has street lights which is great for nighttime hitching, however the traffic density is quite low and most cars are local, wait times of 40-80 minutes expected

Towards Beeskow, low traffic, and not great spot for a car to stop, there's just very small dirt side on the road, but it just does the job, would avoid at dark, wait times of 10-30 minutes expected

Great rest area towards north, decent amount of traffic, few trucks, wait times of 5-25 minutes expected, most cars are doing long distance, easy to find a ride to Berlin

After coming from the castle this here is about the only place you could perhaps hitch a car towards Radeburg, don't go any further as genuinely anything til the next village 3kms or so further is just awful for hitching, wait times of 20-60 minutes expected

Great bus stop towards Moritzburg, loads of locals and tourists, it's wide enough and great visibility, had many ride offers within 5 minutes before getting a car to Moritzburg, amazing road

Towards more inland into Germany, very low traffic, around a car in every 10 minutes, but that car is very likely to stop, especially if it's a german one and the least take you to the nearby other bigger villages that would have a store etc, wouldn't come around here any time late though, wait times of 5-15 minutes expected

Towards CZ, uncomfortable uphill awkward spot but does the work just enough space to stop a car by the side, decent traffic, wait times of 5-20 minutes expected

Low local traffic to either direction (Schmiedeberg or Altenberg), but locals are friendly and most likely one of the first few cars here will stop, doable even at night, village around here have pretty good street lights and low speeds, wait times of 20-40 minutes expected

Towards Dippoldiswalde, nice cobbled bus stop with a traffic light just before it so it's very convenient to stop cars that barely have any speed, not the best visibility and two lanes, but you'll get a car going further within 10-25 minutes

We weren’t so lucky here. Got stuck for over 3h after being dropped off on a weekday at 5pm. There was drastically less traffic after 7pm, but thankfully got a ride to Bremen before sunset. The station is comfortable to hitchhike in and there is a good car and truck turnover + a MacDonalds attracting quite a few in the afternoon (strangely not so much in the early evening for us…)

Lots of traffic midday, great place for cars to pull over. We were offered rides to Oldenburg and after a few minutes only to Rotterdam with an NL sign!

excellent! a local guy told me that this is one of the most frequented gas station on the A9

good spot! the cars can stop afterwards and the street goes directely to the highway

wanted to go on the A9 but it was very bad! not so many cars and nonenof them went to A9 so i went off the highway at schwaig by nürnberg to go at the landstreet to the highway entrance

In this Dutch colony you will find some cars staying in Germany and a few cars going to Belgium.

Quiet Sunday morning, but the first Dutch couple took me.

Quiet Sunday morning, but enough cars theoretically. Only had to get to the Raststätte near Pforzheim, 13 km further. Nearly every car passes that. It took me however 1 hour and half using a sign PF Rast to get away.

Good Spot, maybe the best to get to the west of Austria or the south of Germany.

I believe it's the best place to cross the Montpellier without going into it. There's a lot of traffic in many directions. We've been asking everybody around and many people were going to the next city 60 km away or Lyon, fewer to Aix-en-Provence but it's the best way to Italy and we were heading to it. It's kinda hard to navigate on the map what's the best way to Italy cause there is a lot of roads crossing each other after Montpellier. We 2 guys got picked up by a father and son from Germany that were supposed to go to Monaco but on our way there the son got so angry he had no cigarettes left that he broke the car (tear out both the mirrors, started to throw things into the car) and told us to leave

Towards more inland into Germany, very low traffic, around a car in every 10 minutes, but that car is very likely to stop, especially if it's a german one and the least take you to the nearby other bigger villages that would have a store etc, wouldn't come around here any time late though, wait times of 5-15 minutes expected

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.

Horrible spot if you want to go to Germany from here. Almost everyone was going down to Maastricht or something. For that route this spot is quite good.

Wanted to go Germany, but a kind guy offered us to pickup us up to another spot. Not a lot of cars here, during lunch time on saturday. We were 2 men.

Great spot to go to Liege and direction Germany. A man and his girlfriend took us (me my girlfriend and out dog+2 backpacks) to Liege!!

Two Girls from Germany pick me up here and Bring me to the border

Really good spot to get a ride far into Germany. Got a ride till Stuttgart airport where we took the s Bahn to the city.

Awesome spot... BUT First of all, it's def the best spot on this Reststation i you don't want to ask around (for asking around it's better to go closer to Landzeit). Best for thumbing the ride because here the two roads meet and go to the highway, both from rest station and the local road. It's easy to switch between these two, as from both ways there is reasonable amount of traffic. During my 1h 40mins of wait :') about 10 cars stopped, most of them going to Germany (via Passau) or just in the close area (Wels, Sattledt, etc.). I was heading to Salzburg and getting this direction was a bit challenging, but not impossible! (I even sadly rejected one car going to Gmunden, as I could'nt properly understand the guy's German accent, realised way too late that he could have taken me)

I waited only 6 minutes (solo guy, no sign, Saturday morning) and during that time 2 cars stopped. I would call that a success :D I was going to Salzburg direction. It's better to head just to Linz as there is a great hitchspot in Ansfelden, where I continued. Many cars continue from Linz to Germany (via Passau), that's why I think it's a bit more complicated to seek for direct ride to Salzburg from here.

I was going to Sofia after crossing the border and after waiting 4 hours got no ride. I was trying to hitchhike in the part for trucks, but border police took me back to the border and forced to hitchhike on the part for passenger cars which were mostly full and going straight to Germany with whole families on board. You should definitely get a ride on the Turkish side, where it’s rather easy

We (2 Persons) wanted to go to the west, but people also take this road to move to the south or to Germany. After 1,5h from 19:30 to 21:00 and not many cars we camped in the forest nearby (beautiful place) and tried the day after. Got a ride to Mulhouse finally - better than nothing.

I waited almost 2 hour. Wednesday morning after Easter weekend. Women and daughter from Germany offered me a ride to Wrocław

got a ride to lyon by asking around. many people there also going to germany or switzerland.

a slovenian picked me up on his way to work in germany near würzburg

20 cars per minute on a saturday morning. Many people going to Germany. I got a ride to Munich directly

We got sent here by ASFiNAG (highway services in AT) after unsuccessfully going to hitchhike at the exit from the roundabout (which is already a highway) and after some waiting time they drove around again and gave us a wave and a thumbs up - so this spot is approved 😅👍🏼 It is possible to stop cars going from all directions, enough space on the roadside to stand and to pull over. A bit tricky if you are going to SLO/KL, because the roundabout lanes are the 2nd and 3rd.. if going direction Germany, then it's great, it's the 1st lane closest to you. -2 guys, sign KL, Saturday afternoon

The place is one sided so lots people go france instead of germany
