Wanted to go South and made the mistake of taking a ride to the newly built A49. There are only small gas stations and I could not really find someone there. So if you want to go South. Take at least a ride to Hasselberg Ost or Reinhardshain Nord as there are no suitable service stations in the Kassel area.

Two guys hitchhiking south via the A7 or to Frankfurt. Although it seems like a spot which could get traffic both north and south, this was sadly not the case. After 6 hours we gave up and hiked to an on-ramp 5 km further north. A lot of lokal traffic as well. Do not use for going south.

Two guys hitchhiking south via the A7. We were picked up in less than 30 minutes. We got a lift to Kassel where we tried heading south. However, there is a lack of good spots for southbond travel in Kassel, so if you want to farther south we recommend hitching with someone who’s heading farther south than Kassel.

I waited for ages to go north, saw a lot of local cars. Got a nice ride in the end though. Free WiFi, which was a plus

We got lucky at 4:30 in the afternoon. There were not a lot of cars due to constructions and asked around at the gas station.

Due to construction works this place is pretty empty.

At first I was too lazy to speak to people and stood at the exit with a sign and my thumb. Didn't work out and as I started talking to people I got a lift very quickly.

The fuelstation has closed in southern direction(northern it's as it was). There is still a parking lot and I had luck with a truck driver, but, coming from Göttingen, you better ignore this station imho. (next on A7 is Hasselberg).

"Dreieck Kassel-Süd". The highway splits up here. It seems that more people go to the west on A44. Nevertheless there is much traffic so you will find a lift to the south with some patience.

Generally ok if you want to catch a ride south but not ideal if you want to want to go west on the A44. Rather get out a station before..

Can confirm the above comment, our driver told us the same. If you come from the A44 it's better to get off at Bühleck.

very good spot to go south - lots of cars, surprisingly many scandinavian tourists (july 2013). Not so good to go east, although the intersection with the a4 is close almost noone is going there. waited for about 2hrs before a local took me to kirchheimer dreieck (from there it was really easy)

We got here pretty late at night and was dark. After asking around for ~15 minutes someone came up to us and asked if a ride to Göttineng would help. It did and he even called a friend that was on husband way to Hamburg who would bring us along as well.
