Well, this is a strange one. Arrived at midnight - camped behind the little (very little!) woodland towards the entrance to the left and put in earplugs (as the traffic is really loud). There was maybe two cars around at that time and I was beat.In the morning it felt a little bleak - traffic was so so but it felt like mostly locals. Still, I knew I would eventually find someone for Strasbourg. I began to heat water for a coffee and along cones a Luxembourgish car. He was going to Nancy, I believe, but decided to deviate to Stras as it was faster. Think he just wanted to take me. He hadn't seen a hitcher in a long time. Awfully sweet guy. Shared his veg wrap with me.
You have toilets here& tap water. Not a place I'd like to be in winter, but frankly the road sucks from Luxembourg to Metz and there's little other options. I had stood in Luxembourg for two hours under heavy rain and storm with a sign for Stras to no avail. But, arrive I did...finally :-)

I never really succeed getting long distance rides in Luxembourg, despite the possibilities. Had a sign for Strasbourg in the torrential rain past ten pm. Eventually a car for Metz stopped - it was foolish as there's almost nothing to stop at before Metz but I took it anyway and spent the night camping.On another occasion, perhaps I can crack this...a sign for Stras/ Germany? Who knows..

Really quick hitch towards Strasbourg. Truck can't ride during weekends, but some personal cars stop here as well.―martih

This is a nice spot for going south. I waved to cars going from the parking lots. I had a sign saying only FR.―martih

Mi renkontis interesan ulon irantan al Germanio, trapasante Schengen en Luksemburgo, kaj mi tuj akceptis, amiko, vidi alian historian urbon, kaj li eĉ donis al mi iom da bonega vino, kiun mi komencis trinki tie, iomete ĉe Rainbow (ne diru al iu ajn, haha) kaj nur finis ĉe Tramprennam en Zittauin, la Majstra Domo. Sed mi ĉesis trinki, ĉar ĝi estis loka.―Jurobola

Not too many cars at this hour but it's ok, someone took us (we were 2) 30 minutes later to Thionville (we had a sign for Metz and Luxembourg).―GermaineBreton

Hitched just the once here but will try again soon - got a long ride to Luxembourg despite traffic seeming thin. Let's see if it was just lucky for the next time?―whisperingofthestars

Works better then Metz to get towards Germany via Luxemburg.―TillWenke

Only way to escape from here. East towards Germany did not work for me.―TillWenke

Dangereux et illégal, une voiture s'est tout de même arreté au bout de 3/4 d'h d'attente―Anonymous

Walked here from Metz. Not a great option as you have to traverse a farmers field and then scale the medium height wire fence, but we got picked straight away by asking a belgian couple. Probably got lucky.―Davies

3h on a Sunday afternoon for a ride into Luxembourg. Several short-distance ride offers (e.g. Metz)―Platschi
