The first car I approached took me all the way to Leipzig, look for German licence plates and they have Bundesrepublik on their plates.―Anonymous

Waited there in the morning.Good places for long ways, so the 50 minutes of waiting paid off.
Most drivers wanted to go to Leipzig-South, but got a ride directly to Dortmund.

Good place to start hitch-hiking, when you have someone who can get you there. We got a ride in about 10 Minutes on a very low-traffic sunday afternoon.―Henryheineken

For Chemnitz and the center of Leipzig, this is a very good spot. But for Kassel/ Göttingen we waited 1,5 hours. It was the thrid car to head this destination in this period of time. The journey from Leipzig took us very long as well. Pack some food and a good load of time for this one.―Anonymous

Took me quite a long time to get there from Hauptbahnhof (train main station), because I took S-Bahn 15, then Bus and walked about 30 min more. Nevertheless probably the best spot to get a ride towards West, I found a driver who took me to Rastplatz Rhonetal after some 15 min already.―Anonymous

Average rest area with just a WC. From my point of view a very good spot to get from Leipzig to any westbound destination. For near and easy things like Kassel or Göttingen or more advantageous aims like Southern Netherlands or Northern France this could be a gould start. The A 38 is from my experience a good connection to the west: very few congestions but still enough traffic to get away.How to get there:
Take a train from Leipzig Central Station to Liebertwolkwitz Station (takes 15mins) and then just walk there (takes 20-30 mins) via "Großpösnaer Straße". Important note: This section of the Autobahn is fenced like many others. To finally acces the Rastplatz you either need to climb the fence (quite manageable) or bring tools.
As soon as I reached the area, I had a lift within 15 mins in sunday calm traffic.

As for this small of a place (there is only a toilet and some parking spaces) it was okay, really pretty tho. Ended up there at around 8 pm and caught a ride near Erfurt. A lot of ppl going to Leipzig or further west, very bad place for trying the south.―karo

NOT as good of a spot as the reviews suggest. Last time we (2 girls) tried caching a ride to Poland from the other side - we waited for 5 or 6 hours - this time with the opposite direction it was way easier but still not ideal. The gas station is a ghost town, almost no one stops there. Got a ride to the south of Leipzig but had to ask many, many times.―karo

Wonderfuk spot, I just waited at the intersection after the mcdonalds (asked them for cardbkard and a marker and they gave them to me) and just had a sign to leipzig, worked like a charm―Philippe

Very nice spot, even at late evening quite some cars were stopping here, very good for going west (cars going to Dortmund, Bielefeld, Düsseldorf were frequent), but little traffic towards south, wait time of 50 minutes towards south direction, could have gotten a ride to west before that―Anonymous
