A lot of cars dfiving by with a lot of friendly people who wanted to take us. Got a ride onto the A4 in the direction of Frankfurt after 30 Minutes

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.

Got a ride by a couple. The guy did not want to take me but the girl convinced him - know whom to talk to to increase your chances ;)

Really tough spot. Difficult to stop on the on-ramp.

there is a bus stop. very good spot to start hitchhiking from weimar, usally 15 to 30 minutes, theres also an gas station on the other side of the road to ask people directly.

Medium-sized motorway service station 'Teufelstal'. The south side of the services is excellent for getting rides North, South and East. I haven't tried the other direction yet, but it's probably good too. If you've been travelling east along the A4, this is a great place to get dropped off. Average waiting time 20-30 minutes. For more info, see http://www.hitchwiki.org/A4_(Germany)

The spot is easy tro reach by tram - however just few people seem to go far, so having a sign saying 'Gera' (east) or 'Erfurt' (west) does the job (there are gas stations on the way both direction)

Service station south of Hermsdorf on the A9 (northbound). Senseless if you want to go westward (Erfurt, A4), bad if you want to go to Berlin.

A4 & A9
very good for direction east, but couldnt get a ride to direction south on A9 from here after 1.5 hours, maybe it was only bad luck but i could see only a very few cars going that way if any. had to walk through the forest to the other restplace east from here on A9, if you like challenge and have time maybe you can do the same though wouldnt really recommend.

A9 southbound
good for direction NÃ¼rnberg&MÃ¼nchen, restplace on the other side is accessible via tunnel from the hotel bit north from here

A4
bus stop before traffic lights so enough space for cars to stop and they are not driving that fast. accesible with s-bahn from centre (Platanenstrasse) +5 minutes walk

Hermsdorf Service Station East

direction berlin is ok all day, direction A4 westbound may take a while - esp. after 22:00 it's often better to go on until Osterfeld (25km) and change sides there (bridge provided) - especially if your lifter would stay on the A9 anyway.

Good spot if you want to hitch to Eisenberg to get onto the A9. Stay at the busstation and carry a sign saying A9/Eisenberg.
