Very easy to get from here to Berlin. For Hamburg I waited about an hour in the morning. Towards south rather difficult, at least when it's not rush hour

Not easy to get the ride to the south (direction Hildesheim) but I stopped the car coming from the town by the road beside this petrol station

I had to wait 5,5 hours to get a ride in direction Hamburg, during that time I got a lot of rides offered in direction Berlin. First offer after 20 minutes round about.

Many drivers stop here to rest and can be asked for a ride. I asked around 15 drivers before I found one that would take me to Magdeburg. I never had to wait for new drivers to come, despite the fact it was a holiday so I had to rely on personal cars completely. 2016-03-25

We were waiting one hour to go to Hamburg. But it was at night.

A nice spot with a lot of traffic. Take from Garbsen the bus 126 and stop to the last station (Am Blauen See).

A LOT of cars to Berlin. Fewer to Hamburg or south but still enough to find a ride easily enough.
Use this spot to change cars if you're coming from the west and want to go further than Hannover.
I even met two fellow hitch-hikers (one of them with a dog!) who found cars to Berlin really, really fast.
I was going to Hamburg and it was no problem at all.

Terrible place to go to Czech Republic or Praha. We were two and we have waited more the 2 hours, and we hitch a truck (among may be 10000 cars we tried to stop).

'rastanlage hannover-garbsen' is an excellent interchange between the autobahn linking germany from east to west "A2" and the north - south autobahn "A 7". i was hitchhiking from this spot to berlin in october 2009. you can change easy from one side of the autobahn to the other via a tunnel. there is plenty of drivers that can take you. this place is so good, WAI for a car that can take you the whole way through to berlin, poland, hamburg or wherever - don't just take the first one...
