Good spot, we think. It seems to be a regular spot for hitchhikers heading south/southwest/west. We stood by the western on-ramp to the autobahn. Not a lot of traffic, but we also arrived late in the day. P.S. There’s a shower: think about using it you bum!We were two guys hitchhiking late in the afternoon/evening. We were signaling to go for Leipzig/Magdeburg. The hour was late in the day, so when a driver offered us a ride to Leipzig we accepted. In hindsight, we should probably have headed straight west towards Magdeburg/Hannover, since it was difficult to plan the route after stopping on the road to, or in, Leipzig. We were heading northwest after Leipzig towards Göttingen/Kassel via the A38. We did however get onto the A38 by sheer luck, the driver’s poor sense of direction and him being a bit creepy (esoteric guy that let us lie in the back of his van). Stay safe out there folks.

In and of itself probably a good spot for hitchhikers, seeing as many people going far on the highway stop here. However, be aware that there are very few other stops along the A38; if you end up at Querfurt and don’t find a ride to wherever you’re going, you’re going to be stranded. There is nothing within walking distance. I would also avoid going there at night. We were dropped off at 11 in the evening and didn’t end up catching a ride until early morning.―Ledan

I got a lift down the A9 to Hermsdorfer Kreuz early on a Saturday afternoon. Lots of cars, good atmosphere. Before, various drivers had offered me to take me to destinations that were not far enough and people came me to give me water, a tomato and chocolate croissants.―stonefruit

Directions : Magdeburg, Hannover, LeipzigGood place for hitchhiking, with a sign on the side of the road. The gas station before is not so good, few cars go on this one.

a good place to reach 'bitterfeld' from 'halle'. i tried to reach 'dresden' but only received offers to 'leipzig'. there is many cars passing this spot (safe conditions for cars to stop) but most of the traffic is commuting. at the gas station (or the mc. donald's restaurant) on the opposite side of the road it is not easier to find someone. mostly locals eat their cheeseburgers(or fill their cars) there. on my personal ranking "1" (very-very poor) to "10" (excellent) i will rate this spot a "5 to 6".―Anonymous

waited here for a lift to nuremberg twice - one time on a holiday at 10 am (45 mins wait) and another time without much luck (saturday 3 pm - gave up after 2 hours). it still is a good spot though; especially leipzig and berlin are suposedly really easy.―Anonymous

I was waiting for only 20 min, direction: Berlin, August, Sunday afternoon. You can catche drives from petrol station, but also from the road, on the same spot. I was picked up by Porsche driver, 270 km/h in one moment. Best drive ever. :)―Gangrelito

Awesome for direction Leipzig. But shouldn't be hard to find someone heading further either.In my opinion eg. for going to Leipzig: don't bother with the petrol station and just thumb next to the road. ~Lukas

it is very much better to start from the city, this is a spot directly in the sun, and there are mostly locals, I waited 1 hour alone as a woman!―Anonymous

Definitely the best spot in Halle to hitchike East via A38, even though the spot is not perfect because you miss all cars comming from the North. But after the traffic light there is a bus stop where can easily stop and pic you up. I recommend to use a big sign so people can already see you when they stop at the red light.―Nbakalki

Gas station with an ok amount of cars. Some going further, although you need some patience for going on the A9 towards Berlin etc.If you want to go to Leipzig don't bother asking around on the petrol station, but write a sign and stand next to the road. ~Lukas
