“Here we got a ride to Dresden in 20min”

“Waited over an hour, tried hitching by the road (with a sign) and asking at the gas stations but seemed to only be local traffic. Eventually someone stopped and drove out of their way to drop me along the A13”

“Probably the only reasonable spot to get to Poland from Berlin. Yet it takes two hours to get here from the centre. Also, on weekdays there aren't too many cars going to Poland, but eventually you will find someone.”
― Starrider, Tue 2014-02-11 · Rasthof Am Fichtenplan
“We were there at 10 pm on sunday so it wasn't the best time to hitchiking. After 1.5h we got ride to Łódź”
― Kwiatek t, Mon 2016-04-18 · Rasthof Am Fichtenplan
“Very good spot! In fact there are many polish trucks which are actually nice! Take care not to miss the bus in Königs, there is only a bus every hour and a half to reach Brüsendorf (i waited).”
― Soundhiker, Sun 2013-10-13 · Rasthof Am Fichtenplan
“Got a ride to Poznan in 1 minute. Warning, the bus to Brusendorf does not work on weekends! If you get to Konigs, its a very long walk, maybe 2 h+. I hitchhiked while walking in Konigs for Brusendorf. I have added the place in Konigs where the guy picked me up.”

“Probably very easy for direction Poznan, but a bit more challenging for Wroclaw or Dresden. Took us about 50-60 minutes to get a ride all the way to Wroclaw from here.”
― Maxim1110, Mon 2015-08-17 · Rasthof Am Fichtenplan
“really good place. we stop car Sunday in 40 minute directly in poznan. but its hard to reach this place, we walked a lot, because of transport which isnt so often in sunday.”

“excellent place to go to poland. its a little complicated to get there from berlin, but i did this; from berlin you took the RE(train) with direction to cottbus, untill the station "Königs Wusterhausen" then you have to take the bus 730, and get out in the last stop"brusendorf"(you can see it on the map) and then walk throw a plantation like 10 or 15 min and jump a fence to get to the gas station”

“Rather slow traffic, cars usually go back to Berlin, not the best for Polish border. Eventually had to walk around and ask drivers on the gas station for a lift to the border.”
