Lehrter See Nord
If you want to go to the north, just write Bremen/ Hamburg on your sign and let yourself dropped of at Rasthof Allertal at the A7 if you want to go to Hamburg and your driver goes to Bremen or vice versa. Big Station for Truck Drivers to rest.―Anonymous, September 2019
ok to cath someone going north wit direction Hamburg or Bremen. Nott so much traffic but quite okay to go West/North or to get a direct lift to Hannover

had no difficulties to get to the A7 to the north, waited only 15 minutes, but it's true that the majority goes to the west (A2).

Second car I asked went to Amsterdam and wanted to take me. First car I asked also went in that direction but had no place left. Note that this was on the end of a Dutch holliday though

I Don't know what is wrong with Lehrter See nowerdays, i just want to go straight the A2 to Bielefeld but my last 3 waiting times all exceeded 60 minutes, thats why i decreased my rating to average

I experienced almost the same. Its almost impossible to get a ride to the A7 southwards. I waited for 2 hours, trying to get a ride with a sign and talked to people directly, nothing. I then decided to change my route and go west on A2 and got a life within 5-10min.

this service station seems to be highly frequented by other hitchhikers. there is a huge sation on the side which leeds to the west and you will be able to find a lift in direction dortmund within a few minutes to the west, this is almost excellent). a bit more difficult is to find someone who changes to motorway to the a7 to the north. and even more difficult to find someone heading to the south from here. there is a small service area on the other side on the motorway which enables you to find a lift in direction east (berlin) too
