Raststätte Taunusblick

Many directions, many people. But a lot of them driving to Frankfurt. I was maybe just lucky

I found a guy after an hour of waiting who took me to Stuttgart. However I think it’s not that easy there because there are a lot of local drivers. But if you are patient it can work.

Couldn't get to Saarbrücken or even Kaiserslautern for 3 hours, then accepted an offer towards Mannheim. There's a fair amount of local traffic here according to the driver.

I have repeatedly attempted to hitch hike from here to Mainz or Wiesbaden without much luck. Getting from here to the Airport is easy and I have successfully hitch hiked from the airport in all directions many times.

the discription to get here is really good. thanks. you don´t need to climb up to the service station. there are some steps to get there. for me it was not a good spot, because i wanted to head to the north and i thought this service station is used for both sides, but its not. i had to reach the next station in the south and switch the side of the highway:D. but i think for heading south it is a good spot

Direction south on A5 (Mannheim/Karlsruhe/Basel) you can get to the Rasthof by foot. Get U6 to Heerstrasse (final stop) and cross Heerstrasse there. You must walk along the U-Bahn traks to the open field and continue the small road. Pass under the bridge and then up the hill. after a couple of meters you need to climb up on the right (i made that in April09, it was muddy, looked as if they are going to plant bushes there but there is a way to get through for sure). Like that you will get to the carpark. As its before Frankfurt you might aim for a lift to the next Rasthof, since that one is bigger and most people dont go that far. But i found a lift very easily like that. (Weekday morning at 10am) might also work for going north, but A5 leads into A7 and A4 afterwards, all the people i asked headed south!
