Legendary place for going from Hamburg to Berlin, in my experience. I’ve been picked up twice by drivers going all the way to Berlin and never had to wait more than 15 minutes. Lots of commuters pass the roundabout, traffic is slow enough to stop and there’s a wonderfully wide shoulder. Chef’s kiss.―Kreft

Many cars going through and people were so nice. Got a ride to Hannover after 30 minutes.―CelinaKaarup

Perfect spot for getting farther South on the Continent. LOTS of European long-distance traffic. You can stand at the exit onto the highway, but I would recommend asking around. We quickly found a ride with a Swede going all the way to Belgium, who dropped us off in Hamburg.―Kreft

Going north, this spot doesn't feel so great, but it worked for me. I was looking for a car, taking the ferry when two guys pulled in, looked at the ferry prices, and decided to take the bridge all the way to Copenhagen. If going to Denmark, I would advise taking the A7 rather than the A1.―martih

Got a lift all the way to Copenhagen. Good mix of local and international traffic. We got a lift by asking around based on the license plates.―Finn147

Tried to get to Copenhagen and got a lift to A1 where we got a ride all the way. A lot of cars but mostly local traffic, however there were quite a few international traffic. There is a bus stop that the cars can pull over at.―Finn147

Worked asking around, but there is also a decent spot for sign. Big parking lot. We were just trying to go north and ended up with a ride all the way to Hamburg. A lot of people in the late afternoon/evening when we were there.―Finn147

I got really lucky and was picked up by an actual angel who dropped me in Lübeck―Anonymous

You have to wait a little but it's fully doable. I rejected fiew rides to Hamburg itself and went with driver who was going towards Bremen however during ride I found out that my driver was actually going towards the Netherlands so I decided to go there with him. At the spot itself there is nice forest for camping at night, you can access it by first crossing first fence using an open entrence for service road located in between two fences, then go litte bit north till you se place in which fence has been cutted. Then you are here, actually I would say that this spot is much better for sleeping than previous little bit up north of here and yes, thumbing at the exit works, you just need to be patient so if you are shy like me just stand there and somebody will stop―Autostopeks

First I tried to get behind Hamburg towards Hanover but only people who stopped were going into Hamburg itself. After some waiting I decided to accept ride to another gas station little bit closer to Hamburg―Autostopeks

About every 20 min. there would be somebody stopping. But all went towards Oldenburg or Osnabrück. We (2 guys) were trying to get to Lüneburg. No success…Cars were coming pretty often but it doesn't seem to be a good spot for hitching.
Cars to Lüneburg probably rather go down the A7. Or maybe walking in the city and trying at the Bundesstraße B75 which also crosses the river Elbe and is pretty close would've been better?

good spot for leaving hambourg but hard for long distancei tried with a sign ‘flenburg’ and ‘kiel’ and the kiel one works
perhaps it’s still really good for getting to the north and they’re is space for cars to stop
don’t forget to get a sign they’re getting fast
good luck😸

It was a quiet evening, not a lot of cars, but still got a lift quickly. There was road works, and no space to pull over, but because of the road works and low traffic a car stopped anyway so i just jumped in.―Frederik
