What hitchhikers said along this route
“A good spot in direction to Dresden. We stayed there only 5-10 minutes and got a ride directly to Dresden. A lot of cars are passing by, even on holidays. Just don't forget to stay before the gas station as it's better for drivers to stop there.”

“i (female) went in july, friday morning around 9 or 10 to poland. had a "görlitz"-sign and waited for 1 hour til someone stopped and brought me to a big gas station. still a very good spot. maybe it's better to have a sign saying only "east"?”

“we (female-male) waited for 45 minutes to get a lift to görlitz/poland. i think its smarter to get off the bus a few stations earlier and ask people directly at the gas stations, that are also at thies road”
