Once again, got offered a ride without even asking while walking around looking for a place to hitch. Sign Frankfurt. Solo female. Got ride to Gießen (Reinhardshain Nord). Should be easy to get rides though, quite a lot of people.―friki

Should be easy, lots of people with southern plates and trucks. Didn't even get to hitch as I got offered a ride while going to the (women's) bathroom with a sign Frankfurt. This has become my new technique. Look a bit lost and walk around with a sign. (worth mentioning she was an old hitchhiker and had even participated in races).―friki

A guy and a girl without a sign on a Saturday at noon. We had a lot of luck here : two nice truckers gave us food and coffee, but couldn't take us with them as all trucks were stopped for the weekend. A car that originally went to Hannover then took us all the way to Puttsgarden !There is place for cars to stop at the end of the restplace, and place to sleep in the wood west of the station.

A guy and a girl without a sign on a Friday afternoon. Two cars stopped in 20 min, and the second one went south of Hannover. The spot at the end of the station is quite good for cars to stop.―JumpingRabbit

Great spot to get to the A7, used it many times 2019-2022. Waiting times vary, but generally not too long as there is a wide shoulder to stop. Doesn't hurt to use an "A7" sign and preferably take direct rides there.―Anonymous

not many traffic, must be a bit lucky. you can also ask the drivers at the petrol station and macdonalds on the other side of the road.―Anonymous

'tank und rastanlage hildesheimer börde' ; an excellent spot to reach 'hannover' as well as 'hamburg' on autobahn "A 7". it took me 10 (in words: 'ten') minutes comming from 'kassel' to change to a driver that took me until 'hamburg' from here. you can also north/south change the sides of "A 7", there is a tunnel 300 meters east of the rest-area. the rastanlage has a lot of traffic comming through even later in the evening.―Anonymous

Although it seems perfect for the direction north to Hamburg, it's not recommendable to get to A2 in the direction of Berlin. If you're coming from A5 rather choose A4 and A9 to get to Berlin.―Anonymous
