I started hitchhiking pretty early so there were only few cars. After an hour I started asking drivers and got ride to duseldorf with Polish driver (being polish probably helped me a lot with that)―Anonymous

The waiting time was over two hours because many cars were full, but I managed to get a 150 km ride to an Osnabrück gas station.―Anonymous

Having wasted a whole day in the Ruhrpot I ended up taking the bus to Ohligers Heide and got a ride to Frankfurt in 10 minutes.―Anonymous

With sign "A3 süd". Only got some offers to Düsseldorf. Moved to the onramp after 69mins, but had the same result there. If you get stuck here your best option is public transport to the next Raststätte.―Anonymous

Hünxe. Sometimes you get a ride to Ohligers Heide in 30 minutes, sometimes you wait 3 hours before accepting a ride into the HH'ers hell that is Ruhrpot. Today was the latter. Don't be like me. It's (at least) Ohligers Heide or nothing.―Anonymous

First time hitchhiking, just said 'Goodmorning' and eventually someone understood the sign to Hamburg-Münster. They actually went to Bielefeld, but argued it would work just as well going to Hamburg.―KRooijackers

Apparently, there was a place for cars to stay just behind here. German van that went to a festival 'Harmony of Hardore' nearby my town just left going home. Can't say if the spot truly works, Netherlands generally seems difficult to take off.―KRooijackers

Extremely lucky lady came up to us as we were making our sign. I can see it not being bad. Not too much traffic though―Anonymous

Great spot if you're hitchhiking from Cologne to the Netherlands. You can get here from Nievenheim train station and bus WE2. After that it's just a 15 minute walk to the station.If you look on Google satellite, you will spot a small trail after the bridge over the highway. It is traversable but I wouldn't recommend it as it leads through hunting grounds that are private property. Better to take the long way around. Either way, the service station is accessible on foot through a whole in the fence or on the small road.
Waited for 5 minutes, then found a friendly man and his girlfriend who took me one service station further to Geismühle. There was low traffic on Saturday, but I got lucky and found somebody quickly.

Large motorway services. Should be good, although I ended up waiting a few hours early on a Monday morning. If you're travelling south from Düsseldorf, consider starting from here (take a train to Hilden, then take bus 741 or walk through the suburbia).
