very hard to get to Berlin, many cars going to Poland and Czeck Republic. Also, very little traffic, at least friday evening when I went there.rating: 2/5, wait: 60 min

Good spot to go from Dresden to Poland. I used it twice, in both cases needed to wait approximately 1h, but got ride at least to the border.

My rating is for Prague - Wanted to go to Prague - was surprised by how little traffic there was at 11AM on a thursday. There were maybe 12 cars, maybe a new one every 5min. Became a bit quicker later. I tried for 90 minutes and then called a BlaBlacar.
I could have gone with a czech trucker, but I was worried about the language barrier, and was not desperate enough yet. If I did it again, I'd go for truckers immediately and try to get to the rest stop Varvazov behind the czech border.
More traffic to poland - but so often fully filled cars with either families or lots of stuff.

As of July 2023 there's roadwork going on at the entrance to the gas station making it difficult for drivers to go here. I would strongly discourage going here unless you're trying to catch a ride with a truck of which there are still plenty.

spring 2014; wanted to go from Berlin to Vienna; I waited 2,5 hours but no one to Prague/Czech or Austria. Very good for Poland but not going down south through Czech. Took finally a ride into Dresden to organize myself by bus....

NO cars to Berlin?? Not many Car to Berlin ... is okey
―Anonymous, July 2013
Abundance of Polish cars on friday eve :) Still quite some Czech and Slovakian traffic too, though. I think anyway if you're coming from direction Leipzig and going to Prague this is your best chance.
―Koendev, June 2013
Very bad if you are heading to Prague, we had to wait hours and hours. While if you are heading to Poland you can probably get a ride within minutes
