Huge station: filling station + resting area + restaurant, we tried at the exit on Saturday afternoon. A huge amount of cars passed by, mostly going to the North (we were heading to Stuttgart), mostly full-packed and Dutch. From here going North is OK, I think, but going West seemed impossible. After 3 hours we decided to hitch into Munich centre and get to the beginning of A8 highway by public transport, which is straight way th Stuttgart. It was a good idea! 2 persons (me and my girlfriend), Saturday, 3h

Got a lift to the Bodensee after 30min. The traffic is going to every direction because everyone from austria and the balkan and even italy is taking this route.
Look for car signs with: OA, OAL, LI, STA, KE, WM, FN or KN, Swiss signs or Austrian signs with "B", to go to the Bodensee.

Ive hitched twice at this spot, both times from Salzburg to Munich during summer and both times got stuck here for 3HRS+!!! Getting to Munich from this gas station SUCKS!! (in my experience). Most cars were full, but there were plenty of rides going to Nurembrrg and Berlin. It probably would have been easier to get dropped off at the gas station on the ring road then ride the s-bahn from Vaterstetten.

Got a lift to augsburg in 1 hour. Try to stay on the A8 instead of A96. Good spot!

Weekday, end of august, noon. Not a lot of cars, many cars quite full and going in different directions. After 2 hours looking for a lift to Ulm/Stuttgart/Karlsruhe, we took a lift to the next petrostation (Vaterstetten) which seemed bigger.

Me and my girlfriend wanted to go in direction to Stuttgart, we got a lift after 10 minutes. Calm and shady place, ideal for hitchhiking.

i would say to munich is easy, everywhere else could be quite difficult. because there're drivers going to nuremberg, stuttgart, bodensee and munich, so many directions, difficult to find your exact direction.
when i arrived there on monday morning 1:30AM, i hat do wait til 5AM wait to get a ride to nuremberg. but that's no suprise as HH at petrol stations in the night is quite difficult

It was a little bit unlucky HH spot for me, because it took me 3 hours to get a ride to Mnchen! :) Finally, a blonde woman with a 4 years old kid stopped to me and took me to the city center. But after all, I guess it was just a rare thing.

Small gas station, few traffic. Looking a little dirty and dark. Still, I had a lot of luck here and found somebody going to Würzburg very fast. Few cars stopped here!

Service area, directions Munich, Nrnberg, Regensburg, Stuttgart, Zrich etc. I once tried to get away in the Stuttgart/Augsburg direction, which didn't work very fast. Getting to Munich city or Nrnberg would have been really easy.
