Pretty decent spot for me. I was staying in a really random spot, so got dropped here by a friend on his way to Erfurt, I was trying to get to Bielefeld. I waited near the exit, lots of space for cars to see and easy for cars to pull over and for other cars to get around them, and some sturdy oak trees to shelter from the weather. I got an extremely nice ride.―dragonkillernz

Didn't wait long because there are enough men to ask. I don't like to ask men. But wanted to get out of there.For women I would not advice going here, especially if you're like me, and you are cautious. It was sketcy, most of the time there were 0-2 cars, and I was afraid to end up there with only a sketcy man and noone else. I Would always avoid going there again.
For men it's likely a great spot and I think you will easily find a ride, they come and go every few minutes.

I waited long. I also didn't really think about the ikea being closed early in the morning, so I just waited till it opened, I did have a nice ikea breakfast, though. Noone needed to go to the autobahn. Also, everyones cars were packed with furniture. It felt like everyone in ikea new I was there and everyone felt bad for me still being there after they did their shopping.Extra info for women/flintas:
Out of pity, a couple said they would take me to the autobahn, but not a gas station, but the first raststätte. I shouldn't have accepted, because there weren't many people at the raststätte, and there were only men, and it was a bit sketcy and I was afraid I would end up being there with just one man and noone else. Therefore it felt safest to fairly quickly ask a guy to bring me to the next gas station, even though I am normally very picky whom I ride with. Was not prepared to end up in that situation, so I learned a lesson.

Got a ride even in the dark by a girl coming back from a trance festival whose mother used to tell her to never pick up hitchhikers ;)―TillWenke

If I'm not mistaken, this is the main service area between Erfurt and the A5. You can change directions here, and get towards Berlin/Saxonia/Poland or Frankfurt/Göttingen―Anonymous

We were two people trying to get to Stuttgart on a saturday. Mostly locals driving. Not so many cars stopping, those that did were heading for Frankfurt. Decided to hitch a ride towards frankfurt to a gas station after couple of hours―Anonymous

If you are coming from Suhl to enter Gotha, maybe you try to skip that place. Petrol is to expensive so not many cars will stop to fill up. Keep asking the cars at Burger King. Alternative is go of at Schwabhausen Busstop and try to get a ride directly in to Gotha.―Krassberd

We were going to Eisenach to catch the main highway to Frankfurt. It was very easy, cause it was snowing and people fell pitty of us. hahaha. five minutes and got a ride. be careful of where they drop u off at Eisenach if you continue your trip, cause we got a shitty spot to keep on. Good luck.―Bohua
