Great spot towards the border. We just started asking people in the morning and a couple took us to the border.―Anonymous

Few cars stop here, but they all go into Germany. In that way it is easy to get a lift. Main direction is, Leer, Oldenburg, Bremen, Hannover.―Anonymous

Very bad if you want to go towards Bremen, probably quite good if you want to go up North. If you want to go to Bremen, instead walk towards the Eisinghausener Strasse (south, see map), walk along it with your thumb up, and catch a ride to the autobahn on ramp on the west of Lehr.―Anonymous

We got a ride (direction Oldenburg) here very quickly (5 minutes or so), but since it's a bit dangerous place to stop for drivers, and most drivers don't go directly to Bremen, be prepared to be dropped of at a bad point (we got stuck at a rastplatz for 2 hours)―Anonymous

Not that many cars here, but then again there was almost nobody on the highway neither. I do believe this is a good spot because it's already in Germany so cheaper fuel. We decided to hitch cars on the highway too, but managed to get a ride to Zgorzelec (PL) from the gas station after a little over half an hour.―Koendev

Difficult to hitchhike. Lots of hitchhikers, you will usually meet someone, you need luck beacause traffic is small and cars are usually going somewhere in near.―Propek

Not many cars, most are locals. It is possible to get to the Netherlands but I was told the on northern motorway entry it's easier since many Dutch people go there for shopping (not on Sunday though).―Anonymous

Got lucky with a ride to Hamburg in 10min. Spot is not that nice; traffic is a bit fast and doesn't have much space to stop.―Koendev

We got a tide here to the border with the Netherlands. At 17h there isn't a lot of traffic heading to the Netherlands―Jansmax

I would never stop here on purpose. Minimal traffic and none to Netherland. If you are stuck here, I would rather try to reach the Port of Groningen gas station 5 km away passing through Bunde town―Phidias81
