I was going south, trucks are all headed east through Cologne and most passenger cars were headed north. One driver took pity and drove me out of his way to get me south. He said he told a friend over the phone there was a hitchhiker and the friend dared him to give the lift, it was his first time.

Safety note: a 5 passenger car with 5 male occupants attempted to get me to give them money for a ride at this spot, even though they clearly didn't have space. They became belligerent when I declined, until they saw other people watching and sped away. I made a point of chatting with as people as possible after this in case they came back.

Drivers were overall not polite, relatively low passenger car traffic and a lot of dirty looks or avoidance - I was clean and groomed, didn't have this problem elsewhere.

Saw a van with Spain number plates and kayaks on top, talked to the driver and he took me to just outside of Cologne.

Hitched from the Eastbound shell. Took only a short time for a lift to Köln. Our driver was kind enough to drop us at the front door of our friends house

Really hard to get anywhere else than the airport - finally someone took me to St Augustine from where I caught a hitch onto the highway

I asked around and got a car to Aachen, although I got off at Köln. There is an okay amount of traffic.

Easy spot on the car parking near highway in direction of Germany close to the airport.

There were no trains or buses to Cologne, the earliest would be in 4 hours, but I am impatient af. Saw it on Google map, came here, approached a truck with German plate numbers and got a direct ride to Cologne. Ez

Tried going in the direction of Aachen. But had no luck. Maybe it was because it was a sunday. Its probably better to take a bus and a train to the first gas station in the Aachen direction, its a short walk from the train station.

Stood almost at the end, lots of trucks and cars coming through. The cars usually go to Köln and not further.

The waiting time was over two hours because many cars were full, but I managed to get a 150 km ride to an Osnabrück gas station.

Having wasted a whole day in the Ruhrpot I ended up taking the bus to Ohligers Heide and got a ride to Frankfurt in 10 minutes.

First time hitchhiking, just said 'Goodmorning' and eventually someone understood the sign to Hamburg-Münster. They actually went to Bielefeld, but argued it would work just as well going to Hamburg.
