Schäferborn

I hitchhiked there in the morning, there wasnt a lot of traffic, I guess its better to get onto the bigger gas station further on the highway, but it is easy to get there from Frankfurt (you have to jump over the fence tho) and there are some cars going to Berlin/Poland

Wenn man von Friedrichsdorf auf den Parkplatz laufen will ist ein Zaun im Weg. Es gibt aber ein Loch ;)

After trying all day to get out of Frankfurt we spent the ~€5 to get to Friedrichsdorf and got to this spot at about 20:00. The 2nd person we asked gave us a ride to Kassel. In my experience the best way to get out of Frankfurt.

S5 Frankfurt-Friedrichsdorf is a little expensive (4,65€)
But spot's great!

Found somebody who was willing to give me a lift all the way to berlin in less than 15 minutes. But I wouldn't expect to be that lucky all the time :)

Friedrichsdorf is the S5, not 6. greetings

for going north, starting in frankfurt, as it's hard to get out of the city itself.
the spot is a small parking, but you will easily find somebody to take you further north from here. you get there by taking the s-bahn S6 til "Friedrichsdorf" and get off at the terminus. then you walk to the parking and hitch a hike :)
