after while lady and man took us, they went to Frankfurt, but we missed our south-west direction before Nürnberg due to lack of gas stations, so we were told to continue to Frankfurt, we decided to get drop at Würzburg with hope of sombody going left for A81 (bad idea, should go Frankfurt with them)―Anonymous

Stood there with a sign West/DE, boy and a girl, it was raining and there wasn't much traffic. But after maybe 60 minutes some german guy took us on highway A3. It was Friday before noon.―Anonymous

Fourth longest ride ever, via the old YU & BG. Three days. Five stars only because of the length.―Anonymous

Raststätte Aurach Süd(experience on a Friday night)
EAST:
the perfect place to hitchhike to Romania or the Czech Republic (about 2/3 going that way)
SOUTH:
Munich is also good (about 1/4 of all cars going that way)
NORTH:
not a good place (2 cars in 3 hours)

A lot of cars going to the south direction (München, Regensburg), but almost nobody to the Czech republic. This is not only my experience, but I read a lot of messages saying the same on the traffic signs and traffic barrier on this spot.―Xkomczax

2 of us waited for about 2 hours to get a lift towards the Czech Republic- we got very lucky. It was not a good spot, not much traffic, not many cars going that way. (It was Thursday evening, 5-7pm)―Upi4kumaterinu

monday night at 5/6 pm:many going to czech republic, munich, austria. i needed A9 north (berlin) - no chance! but it's easy to get a lift to A9 southwards and then be dropped off at an "autohof" (the gas stations with mcdonalds and such by the exits, so can be reached from both ways of the highway) 2 exits south of nuremberg. from there it was easy to get up north. half an hour detour i would say, so definitely easier than waiting for cars going north here!

Had to wait a surprisingly long time (30 mins plus) on a Saturday morning Sept 2012, going towards Passau. Maybe not such a good weekend spot.―Spiritsxxi

It is a really frequent and amazing spot. It was easy to find a ride towards Austria [direction Regensburg and Passau]. I got here by walking/hitchhiking from Fürth through Hüttendorf and Kriegenbrunn small villages, and in the end I crossed this magic forest, and then just walked into the resting area. Good luck!―AdrianB
