Late afternoon. Lots of people that take the ferry early next morning and are going to spent the night in Lübeck. Eventually got a ride to Fehmarn. Paid the ticket (20euro) and successfully hitch a ride to Kopenhagen on the ferry.

Not an awesome spots on early morning. Not a busy place around 8 or 8:30am. Don't wait with a sign, just go and ask people. A nice elder-surfer-rocker with long white hair and beard took me to Lübeck after asking him !

11AM-1250PM on a Friday in August 2023. Tried to get to the ferry on Fehmarn.
More Danes and Swedes than I could talk to. even two Norwegians. But 50-80% have either children in the back or are literally full with baggage. It seems so great with so many Scandinavians, but the baggage situation reduces the relevant options dramatically.
Dutchies also present. Some traffic to Schwerin. Germans always say they're about to switch highways or get off at the next option, local traffic. Sooo many cars with bicycles and camping trailers. The frequency of cars arriving was very high. Obvs a good rest stop.
I got a ride with a family going to Burg on Fehmarn after 110 minutes, from there there's a bus to the ferry, either X85 or 591.
Hard to say whether to recommend this spot for the Fehmarn ferry. Had mixed results as a German asking Danish, some insisted theyd've taken me if the car wasn't full, others were not open at all.
For strategy, keep in mind that people continuing on A1 can drop you off 10min from Lübeck train station. As of July 2023, there is a bus (X85) hourly from Lübeck to Puttgarden. so car rides to train stations in between are acceptable maybe, like Haffkrug, Großenbrode, Oldenburg, Fehmarn Burg.

After 1 hour of hitchhiking a cool french guy stopped and took me to Malmö! (through Puttgarden - Rodby ferry, of course:) Enjoy the ride!

took a really long time there is always more people hitching here but if you ask people in the end you will find somebody who goes to denmark most people go to lubeck/rostock

Quickly got a ride torwards Putgarden which is the ferry port to Denmark. If you stay in the car or ask some people at the ferry port you can spare your money since the fee for the ferry is only per car not person :) Look out for foreing number plates such as Denmark, Sweden or Norway to get good rides.

Got a ride from here to Göteborg!

Agree with the above comment, made a mistake by standing with a sign saying "DK" and in the end accepted a ride to Lübeck. Got offer also for Rostock.

A lot of cars that go to Lübeck or east towards Rostock.
I tried to get to Fehmarn though and it took me a long time to find a car to bring me to the next gas station at least. If you try to get onto the ferry in Fehmarn, your best bet is to get to the gasstation "Neustädter Bucht" first.

Petrol station northwards (Buddikate West). Should work well for rides towards Luebeck (A1), worked okay for hitching a ride onto the A20 east to Wismar, Rostock and Greifswald
