Good to get lifts to Bad Oeynhausen, Hannover, maybe further A2 -> Berlin! Try to get a Polish truck! This is the first tankstation on the A30 when you're coming from the Netherlands!―Anonymous

Good place to find a lift to the Netherlands (trucks!) or to Osnabrück.Bad for other directions southwards or northwards.

Not that much cars, but still a reasonable place to find a last long ride into the Netherlands.―Koendev

There were only a few cars but a lot of LKW's (trucks). it was dark and i asked only cars, it took me 4 hours to find a ride straight to amsterdam, but i got offered 2 for cities in between.―Brunolimaam

Good for a ride into the Netherlands, even two cars at the same time who offered us a ride.―Jeltje

Sufficient hard shoulder to stand on, but extremely low traffic on this on-ramp.―Anonymous

Melle-Ost on-ramp, roundabout with sufficient space on the exit towards the highway, great for getting rides to the service station 3km ahead or further (Bad Oeynhausen). Traffic drives slow.―Anonymous

i ended up making a bad call and leaving the A30 but I believe this is a potentially good spot to find a ride to the Netherlands. not a lot of people on a monday but there are chairs outside from where you can see the whole place―doró

i agree with karo, it really is not that good as it (probably) used to be. easy to get there from Berlin: Michendorf bahnhof, then 30 mins on foot. on a monday morning after waiting for 4 hours i got a ride to Osnabrück―doró
