Very good stop if you want to head towards the A9. The stop is easy accessable by foot/ train/ bus and whoever wants to pick you up can stop in the bus station―Anonymous

We were here on a sunday mornig as we tried to get to France. We (two guys) were really unlucky and the only friendly people could've taken one of us. We went from the gas station to kaiserdamm and tried at the traffic light with signs for 40 minutes but had no luck.We gave up and went to Michendorf, had luck there

Amazing spot. Bus stop, lots of traffic and a traffic light to slow traffic. What more could you ask for? A 250km lift? Are you kidding ?!―Ryancomet

We got from here to Dresden fairly quickly. I get the point that the spot isn’t super accessible, but if you walk along the outskirts of the field, you don’t have to wade through too much shrubbery. It’s a very doable hike, even without appropriate shoes. (Just make sure not to step into the little stream running along the 14; it’s very obscured by tall grass, but you can jump across it.) Even though there’s no shoulder, cars can easily pull over on the grass.―Kreft

We waited for quite a long time with a sign that said Dresden. Eventually got a lift halfway. Drivera can stop but it's not great tbh.―NR038

Tried this spot last year and quickly got a ride to Michendorf. This time, we were offered a ride all the way to Leipzig by a guy going to Munich. He was local, so I suppose we got lucky. A good spot with ample space to stop, but a bit of a hike from the city center. The bus stop Deutscher Wetterdienst (also along the Michendorfer Chausee, closer to the center) might also be an option, though we didn’t have any luck there (probably because it was getting late).―Kreft

Prpbably a great place to go to dresden because we got offered like 4 times. We were going to leipzig tho. Even though this place is just before the turn on the highway there weren't a lot of people who could take us there. Eventually got picked up by a couple who dropped us of in thr middle of Leipzig.―NR038

Not many cars going south. We went out to the side of the road after an hour and when we were about to give up, we finally got a ride to Nürnberg.―CelinaKaarup

I waited two hours but it was a low traffic day and eventually there was some works on the gas station. Definitely the best place to go west ! Got a ride to Leipzig. If you really want to go to Germany it's completely doable there's a lot of Germans. Actually more than Austrians haha. But you have to talk to them. I waited almost two hours at the exit of the gas station then I decided to talk directly to the gas station and I was offered also a ride by a bus driver for free to Graz at the same moment I asked Hungarian couple with a dutch plate, they were going at the North of Holland but we agree to let them drop me at Leipzig. Thanks Catarina and Zaly :)―cavalierrustique

It’s shortly before Hamburg, so unless you want to go there, don’t stop here. We wanted to go further south, and no one was going further than Hamburg―Hitchiker
