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―Anonymous

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―Anonymous

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.―Anonymous

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

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.―Anonymous

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.―Anonymous

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.―KRooijackers

Apparently, there was a place for cars to stay just behind here. German van that went to a festival 'Harmony of Hardore' nearby my town just left going home. Can't say if the spot truly works, Netherlands generally seems difficult to take off.―KRooijackers

There were two of us hitchhiking and we got a lift here after a 10-minute wait. Perfect spot before joining the A2 motorway―Anonymous

Extremely lucky lady came up to us as we were making our sign. I can see it not being bad. Not too much traffic though―Anonymous

Had a good interaction with the staff but maybe we got lucky. Got a lift with a young Dutch guy going to cologne. Overall was pretty good for us―Anonymous

*The employees don't like hitchhikers here. So don't stand right in front the store as a tip.* Nevertheless, we asked about 50+ cars in 50 minutes maybe even more. Many people just barely going over the border (like Kleve or 's-Heerenberg, Netherlands) or the cars are already full with people. Right as we got told by the employees to stop asking people for a ride. We just got one 2 minutes before al the way to the center of Köln. 140km/90 minute ride. Another group of friends got at this shell at the same time as us and they got a ride all the way to Dusseldorf Airport in 3 minutes of being there. Unfortunately they didn't have room for 4 people, only 3. So that is why we had to wait for 50 additional minutes (we got to Köln earlier though). Many Hitchhikers come here do, just took us a lot of time to get a good ride. It's about luck here!!―Anonymous

Great spot! Asked one person and found a ride straight to Cologne (could've gone to Düsseldorf even).I obviously got lucky, but there seemed to be a good amount of traffic.
