Waited for a very long time in the hot hot hot sun. I can see how it can work on other days, but for us there’s was only Dutch people with very full cars going anywhere but where we were going. Ended up having to give up and get a ride to the nearest train station.―SnailsRUs

Decent spot to get to Münster. Cars have some space to stop at the start of the highway ramp but I think drivers with bigger vehicles were hesitant to stop there. Got a ride from a small car.―Nalle

Might have gotten lucky but got a ride really quick. Good flow of cars―Nalle

Spoke to 10 people in German and got picked up after 10 min by a truck driver.―Crille93

Usually a pretty good spot since people go all kinds of places. I asked around four 30mins until I found a ride to near Arnhem (the person was going to Zevenaar)―thebeekeeper

Very good spot to get out of Oberhausen onto A3 in the direction of Arnhem. There's a traffic light you can stand next to with a sign. Mine was super improvised and it still worked in like 5 minutes. Not super far but to Hünxe which I knew to be a good spot to continue. Was pretty late, so I might have been lucky with Feierabend traffic―thebeekeeper

Hünxe. Sometimes you get a ride to Ohligers Heide in 30 minutes, sometimes you wait 3 hours before accepting a ride into the HH'ers hell that is Ruhrpot. Today was the latter. Don't be like me. It's (at least) Ohligers Heide or nothing.―Chris9012

It looked like it was to busy for people to stop, but I still got a ride to Hünxe in 3 minutes.―Chris9012

really nice spot, i got a lot of drivers to stop going north but never eastwards on A2. i ended up taking the ride north―solesia

Good spot! Even in the morning (07:30) loads of people, most of them going towards germany! Good spot for asking around, not so much for throwing up your thumb.―83105777978

Vere pluvis, mi sentis min senenergia, mi estis sub la markizino apud la enirejo de la benzinstacio. Kaj iu frenezulo daŭre prokrastis min, dirante, ke li prenos min dum pli ol horo kaj poste malaperis, do mi devis provi denove kaj denove ĝis mi finfine sukcesis. Kamiono prenis min, kaj ni iris malrapidete, almenaŭ mi alvenis.―Jurobola

Malgraŭ la konstanta pluvo, tre malmulte da trafiko, kaj preskaŭ noktiĝis, ĝi tamen funkciis.―Jurobola

Post atendado dum horo ĉe la benzinstacio, rigardante germanajn kamionistojn kverelantajn inter si pri io ajn, juna viro agrable veturigis min.―Jurobola

Take a train to Oberhausen-Sterkrade and then the bus #979 to "Heinrich-Heine-Str." in Bottrop. From there you'll see the highway, just walk towards it. Good spot to hitch away fast towards Hamburg, Münster,Hannover, Berlin―Anonymous

I also say for the ppl going eastwards: Stay on the A2!!!―Maxdubi

This is simply the best spot available eastwards. It might seem tricky if you want to hitch towards Berlin, but it will work out, eventually. Stay along the A2, it's worth it!―The hydrA

asked for a lift to Hamburg, the third car took me directly there―Anonymous

If youre heading Berlin first ask for getting out of this area because a lot of people will leave the road soon. Later it is much more easier to find a lift to Berlin or Hannover. For Hamburg get off "Hannover Garbsen"―Anonymous

Got a lift to Ham after about 30 minutes of asking people at the door. Many people were going north (or atleast said they were). Lots of people moving through.―Matt567
