Good spot, we think. It seems to be a regular spot for hitchhikers heading south/southwest/west. We stood by the western on-ramp to the autobahn. Not a lot of traffic, but we also arrived late in the day. P.S. There’s a shower: think about using it you bum!We were two guys hitchhiking late in the afternoon/evening. We were signaling to go for Leipzig/Magdeburg. The hour was late in the day, so when a driver offered us a ride to Leipzig we accepted. In hindsight, we should probably have headed straight west towards Magdeburg/Hannover, since it was difficult to plan the route after stopping on the road to, or in, Leipzig. We were heading northwest after Leipzig towards Göttingen/Kassel via the A38. We did however get onto the A38 by sheer luck, the driver’s poor sense of direction and him being a bit creepy (esoteric guy that let us lie in the back of his van). Stay safe out there folks.

In and of itself probably a good spot for hitchhikers, seeing as many people going far on the highway stop here. However, be aware that there are very few other stops along the A38; if you end up at Querfurt and don’t find a ride to wherever you’re going, you’re going to be stranded. There is nothing within walking distance. I would also avoid going there at night. We were dropped off at 11 in the evening and didn’t end up catching a ride until early morning.―Ledan

Got a direct ride to Prague in about 20 minutes, but we seemed to be exceptionally lucky. Probably a very good spot to go east to Dresden or farther into Poland.―Maxim1110

As of December 2011 this is the only highway fuel station along the A38. The A38 is generally not as crowded as the A4 but this also means a lot less accidents and traffic jams. As there are so few fuel stations chances are good you won't be waiting here for long. Recommended.―Anonymous

This is a good spot. A lot of ppl going east, we found a couple who even agreed to take us to a station on the A9, cause we were trying to go south.―karo

As for this small of a place (there is only a toilet and some parking spaces) it was okay, really pretty tho. Ended up there at around 8 pm and caught a ride near Erfurt. A lot of ppl going to Leipzig or further west, very bad place for trying the south.―karo
