Wasn't successful with talking to people for 45 minutes, so I thumbed at the very end of the service station. Got super lucky with a lift to Dortmund.

To be honest, not that great spot for Nürnberg direction, all of the truck go to Frankfurt, but it you are lucky, you can still get really nice hitch.

Ask around, you will definitely find somebody going in your direction.

Two guys on a hot summer's Tuesday morning. 4 or 5 cars stopped for us, before we found one going south on the A5. Not that great a spot, but perhaps still the best available.

I was thumbing at the end of the service station. 10 minutes later I got a lift to Karlsruhe. Perfect.

Got here by Bus 620 from Braunschweig city hall. Took me 50 minutes max. As there was not much traffic I was thumbing at the end of the service station. 10 minutes later I got a lucky lift all the way to Bruchsal West.

It was an awful place for me. Waited around 4 hours for someone to give me a ride (tried both sides, talking to people and just catching by the exit). the place is very run down, there were a lot of people there the whole duration of my stay - however they weren't helpful. I don't know if its just my luck but i definitely wont try to catch from here again

As of august 2025 there’s a whole in the fence just under the bridge. I think it was the fourth car that took me immediately to Nuremberg.

We got dropped here by our previous ride but I would not recommend it here, it felt dead, so we just started asking people to take us a bit further and one girl took us after few minutes.

Great spot heading southwest. Lots of traffic even in the early morning.

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.

It's not an ideal spot to get on the highway. Waited app. 40 minutes to get a ride to the next gas station.

Coming from the Frankfurt area, I had a nice little break there. I think after 30-45 minutes asking at the main building, I had a ride to Offenburg. Will definitely come here more often.

Very great place. You can easily get very long lifts in any direction.
From Bruchsal train station, take bus no. 125 to "Rasthof Ost" for north or "Rasthof West" for south.

Pretty easy to get a lift to Germersheim from here. When going to Karlsruhe, prepare for some village hopping.
20 minutes walking from the town old town of Speyer.

Most of the southward traffic goes to Stuttgart/Karlsruhe, but not much towards Freiburg/Basel

Good place to go south. I ask one guy who drive me to Freiburg.
