I hitchhiked there in the morning, there wasnt a lot of traffic, I guess its better to get onto the bigger gas station further on the highway, but it is easy to get there from Frankfurt (you have to jump over the fence tho) and there are some cars going to Berlin/Polandrating: 4/5, wait: 30 min, ride: 668 km β

Traffic mostly local. Held up a sign to Poland and all drivers shrugged that they're not going there. But at 5PM on a wednesday it didn't take long until I got a car towards the border. Gas station employees gave me a piece of cardboard for the sign and were very nice. :)rating: 4/5, wait: 39 min πͺ§, ride: 74 km β

A guy and a girl on a Tuesday morning with an arrow sign pointing to Hamburg/Kiel and a "HH" sign. This spot is good in theory, but there was only local traffic or people that ignored us. We also tried the other side of the road, further north, but it was also bad, even though there were more cars going to Hamburg.rating: 1/5, wait: 70 min πͺ§

A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.rating: 4/5, wait: 40 min π¬+πͺ§, ride: 19 km β

Itβs a very good spot! The ferry goes every 30 min and you can get on for free as a passenger. You can try ask cars before they go on the ferry, but itβs quite busy and people might not be in the headspace for it, since they are focused on following instructions to get on. Rather go on the ferry and ask people there or make a sign and stand there while people get on. I personally looked for german license plates first and asked them (my final goal was germany), but when they didnβt take me in, I pulled out my sign. One of the cars that I asked took me in after all, when they saw that zagreb would be ok as well, they werenβt sure if theyβd drive all the way to germany because of their kid. I hitchhiked in the morning around 10 am and a they took me all the way to Zagreb, which is great.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 538 km β

Were like yoooo the other guy just waited 20 minutes so this had to be a great spot - naah most people were not going in direction germany. Maybe because it was 6pm on a saturday. Well gave up and took a blablacar for 5β¬ to dresdenπ. Also there were like maybe 3 german cars in the time I stood there. It was only people from prague. Not saying there was no traffic, there was good traffic, but not to my direction (Dresden).rating: 2/5, wait: 180 min πͺ§

Waited for 2 hours with some cars being unable to take us because we were with 3 people. Originally the plan was ulm or Munich. The amazing guy that eventually picked us up went to Lindau via ulm.Lindau is a village on lake Constance, the biggest lake in Germany and we decided to go along.

We were stopping there with multiple huge signs (slovenia, austria, airport)People passing be were interested and slow down to read the signs (we were creating a small traffic gem)
The first guy who stoped was going to austria but didn't have enough space for both of us.
After another 3h a guy from germany took as to the airport.
The spot is propably as good as it gets around here.

really depends on luck, a lot harder to catch here than the other way around in Rostock. i caught nobody going to the first ferry, waited 2 hours and the second car going to the next one stopped. stand near the crossroads where the harbor employees can't see you ;) best to check ferry schedules and get there about 40min-1hr before departure, a lot of people arrive early. at the gates the driver just types in one more person. needs some patience but possible, keep in mind once you go there you either get on the ferry or drive back 2+ hours to find a different way on to germany.rating: 4/5, ride: 61 km β
