Pretty decent spot, just low traffic flow for a Friday afternoon. Got scooped up and taken to the servo near the airport―Kjmurray1230

Took a while to get a ride. We just asked to go anywhere to the south.―Anonymous

Even without much traffic we got a ride almost immediately. There is also a lane for the cars to stop.Try to get to the next stop only.

Put frankfurt on our signs and got a ride from the 5th person we asked. Lot of people and a good place to go south. You can go through the woods and over the fence but it's less of a hassle to just start at the onramp a couple of km back.―NR038

Good spot to get to the gas station down the road if you don't feel like climbing the fence. Decent traffic and got picked up almost immediately. About an hour away from cologne centre with public transport, google maps sends you through the woods and the entrance isn't really marked but there is a clear path.―NR038

After a bit of asking I got a ride directly to Liege / Lutych. This is a great spot―martih

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.

With a A3 sign, a lady stopped in the middle of the street. There are poles so it's not ideal, but i got a ride towards the direction i wanted―Eidolem

Wanted to get on to A61. Tried it during rush hour. There are some people who take that route every day, for example to Koblenz. Not perfect to stop for a car.―Friedolin

A lot of people going to Frankfurt, also you can cross the highway via a bridge and go north―Liane

There are a lot of trucks unloading here in the morning - I just asked the drivers and the third one took me to the next gasstation on the highway. Probably only works in the mornings though―Liane

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―Liane

The route here is quite complicated (we took a train and two buses, unsure which ticket to buy and then we had to go 35 minutes). There are a lot of trucks and a few cars. We only just arrived, and someone took us to Erfurt. We were traveling as two people. It's a good place to travel east.―piotras

Stood at the end with a sign, a lot of cars park near the end so you can ask around and use the sign or a thumb at the same time. After 30 minutes a turkish guy took me to a gas station after Frankfurt. Pretty good and lots of traffic.―stepanfoj

I stood at the roundabout on the end. There was a lot of traffic. Had a sign saying Köln. Then a guy took me past it to a station in the direction of Frankfurt. Good spot. You can get here by bus from Aachen very easily, the bus station is right next to the station.―stepanfoj

Not too many cars, but lucky to get a ride to the next gas station as that guy was heading to Essen.―anettlee17
