Wanted to go (Me+girl) to Berlin (over Hannover) on a Tuesday 15:00. Waited 3 h. Then changed plans to Hamburg because everyone was driving there and waited till 20:00. Then we sadly drove back (over OsnabrĂĽck) to Essen. Really bad for East over Hannover. Definitely okay for further north.

even to find a ride inside to osnabrĂĽck was very hard ! even that it was RUSH HOUR -:. was so hard to get from there to find a way to osnabrĂĽck

perfect to go north,
A2 is crossing less than 100km to the South so nobody going East will stop here

It was a sunny day, easter holiday (not so much traffic) at around 16:00. I asked the first couple at the door of the restaurant and they took me. It depends on your luck

No sense to go to NL. Their were almost no cars. I had to go to the next gas station on A1 (near to damme), pass the bridge and hitchike to catch people coming from Bremen to NL.

So I confirm that it's hard, but not immposible. It just takes more time than usually.

You don´t wanna even try to hitchhike towards Bielefeld or Hannover. Every drivers stays on the A1. Best solution: hitchhike back to Hamm and then follow the A2.

First of all - it was Sunday 28.04, 8:30am (so no commuters, no lorries), I was traveling with a girl.
We were trying to find a lift to first gas station on A30 towards Hannover (name: Grönegau). None out of ca. 40 asked drivers were heading toward that direction, most of them were going to the north.
Finally, a reeealy nice guy had changed his route specially for us and went 140 km out of his way (precisely: went 280 km instead of 140 km) and dropped us before Hanover. Thank's God for him!

really not much sense hitchhiking to netherlands from this spot, it's much better to try to catch someone coming from Bremen (a1) above osnabrĂĽck. got stuck here for quite some time.

It is sensless spot to hitch towards Netherlands. If it ever happens to you, follow A1 north to the first gas station after Osnabruck and change dirsction there.
