Fürholzen (Ost)

Difficult to get towards Czechia. Wait for a car towards Regensburg. Don't go to Nürnberg Feucht, there won't be much people there going to Czechia!!!

rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min

july, friday around 2PM, i spent some time trying to go up to people and ask for a lift, but theres people everywhere, loads of families with a full car, many people didnt speak english
i dunno if was only a matter or timing, but soon after i moved to the entrance of the highway, 3 cars stopped in one minute
the 3rd was going in my direction and drove me to nurnberg
free toilet and free water in the truck parking lot
dont be fooled by the expansive shop

We were heading towards Czech Republic - got a ride in 10min - asked just the second car...

A bit difficult to get there (I personally walked 6 km or more from Eching, asking people on the way for directions), but a perfect place with lots of traffic towards Nurnberg, Regensburg and even Prague. Waited for 20 mins and then this former-punk Czech guy with a van stopped for me.

a bit difficult to get there on a sunday (there is no bus to fürholzen from eching on the weekends). We started to walk to the gas station and a woman took us to the gas station. It's very big and a lot of people stopped for us but we wanted to get a ride for a long distance direction frankfurt after the oktoberfest but the maximum that we got was to nurmberg.

good place, got there by hitchhiking to Günzenhausen from Karl-Käsmeier-Straße which is close to S-Bahn station "Eching"

perfect spot for hiking nord. you can get there either by foot from eching or you take the bus from eching to fürholzen (but the bus is very unfrequent).

I had a different experience. Waited about 30mins and then got a ride towards Regensburg instead of Nurnberg where I was going with my panel.

it`s realy got for getting to direction nürnberg. much harder to regensburg

―Anonymous, May 2011
This Raststaette is only useful for getting northbound rides.

You can go to "Fürholzen" by bus and than walk out of the town to the north in direction "Hetzenhausen". After you left the town you will soon see the oil station on the left side. Perfect Place!
