Allertal-West

Sunday afternoon:
Nearly everybody was going south here, but only a few people had 2 free seats for us. After 20 minutes we found a couple that gave us a lift to Göttingen.

Stood right at the entry (where trucks and cars split) with a sign and quickly found a car to go with - even more offers when my girlfriend was standing there alone. Mostly nice people.

Never waited more than 20 min here in any direction when asking people directly.

I waited 1 1/2 hours for a lift to A2, east (Berlin).

We were still discussing where to stand without putting our thumbs out when sb already opened their window and asked us where we wanted to go, perfect! Really crowded on a friday afternoon.

Easy to get a ride up north. Early afternoon on a Friday.

Asked drivers at the gas-station. Found a driver who brought me almost directly to my home near Bielefeld (A2)

I was waiting under the bridge on the ramp towards Hannover, and got a ride from a nice driver in 15 minutes to Lepzig.

Very big and busy station. Perfect conditions to hitchhike south. Got a lift to Mannheim in seconds because someone asked me if i need a lift!

Allertal is the last station before crossing A2. so if you want to go directing Berlin or Magdeburg/Leipzig you should get out here. most people are travelling to the south so it's not thaaat easy. but if you ask for Braunschweig you can get off at the next petrol station on the A2 in front of Braunschweig (Zweidorfer Holz). I've waited 10 minutes ;)

Allertal West; Extremely well used raststätte on the A7, due to its location on the stretch of autobahn where all the traffic to Hamburg/Bremen and Hannover/Rhein-Ruhr converge. To the north the A27 and A7 merge, to the south the A352/A2 and A7. Probably the best spot north of Hannover, stood here for 90 seconds trying to get out...
