Very shitty place for car to stop when you are standing at the highway entrence but still doable. I was extremely lucky with getting a lift so fast. In terms of getting here from the town, when you get to road connecting truck stop on petrol station for going north with roads outside of it next to a bridge over highway you need to walk on small path in to the forest that's going right next to the fence. Then after like 20 meters or something you will find small hole in fence wide enough to get into service station through it. It will be marked by log penetrating the fence (that probably was used for creation of it). Then there is a safe underpass next to a petrol station itself that you can use if you are going towards France―Autostopeks

Lots of traffic, got a ride to Nancy, one man one womman one wheelchair. The pedestrian underpass has been rebuilt so you can change direction here too.―Ryancomet

Great spot since it's in front of the on ramp if you want to go north. Not much space to stop but usually french people are not afraid of stopping in a sketchy situation.―Anonymous

A lot of cars with Belgian or Dutch license plates so might be easier to go there. I was trying to go towards Trier and got a ride from an Irish guy on British license plates who said he would take me there but when we started riding he said some story about being robbed and asked if I could take out money with my card for him and that he would transfer me the money, after I showed him I had just 20€ on my account he left me at central station in Luxembourg City and said he'll go to the bank and come back later. Waited half an hour, he never came back so I decided to move on.―Kivvish

Waited with a sign for Lyon and after 5 minutes a truck driver stopped and took me as far as Luxembourg even letting me sleep on the bunk bed in the cab.―Kivvish

Great spot with loads of traffic. If you're getting here via Berchem station and want to cross the bridge, don't trust google maps. Had to take the long way to the gas station.Luckily didn't take too long to get a ride. Legend drove me all the way to Chambéry

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

Really good spot, got a hitch in like 15-20min to Dijon.Especially in summer you have a lot of cars, however most of them with families so it might be much more difficult if you hitch-hike with 2 or more people

Amazing place, even a little better than the other service station in Luxemburg. I got a ride once straight to Lure (close to Belfort) where I needed to be, without even trying.―Anonymous
