“Good spot since cars often have to slow down because of the traffic light. Stood there with a “HH” sign in the late afternoon of Good Friday and caught a lift heading to Lübeck.”

“I barely managed to lift my sign "Denmark/Hamburg" And got a ride straight to Kolding, 549km. Insane.”

“All cars are going to Berlin, if you have luck like me you can get lifts further. (I got it to Leipzig)”

“Many Cars. most of them going to Berlin, Some going to wards Frankfurt(Oder), Dreseden or South towards Leipzig. Took me about 30 min to find someone going to Leipzig but it might take some more patience.”

“Two or three drivers stopped for us here offering rides to Berlin while our destination was Poland. It took around 1 hour and we were approached by a driver who offered a ride straight to Słubice, the border.”

“Ride to berlin fast, awesome spot, stand where the parking lot ends and not right before the highway start so the cars go slower.”

“Direction Czechia. Cursed place. Waited for 14 hours here after we got to a much worse place - the airport. We decided to get dropped of here in the evening from a ride coming from Hamburg. We made a risky bet to try to find a ride to Czechia, or at least towards Dresden. We asked almost every incoming car for Dresden or Cottbus without luck. We found a Slovak van driving over the whole night b”

“Sucks for sleeping at, but there's a hole in the fence that leads to a field away from the trucks, only got 1.5 hours of sleep before it started raining, but that was more on us for bad planning. Getting to Berlin was super fast considering we were up at 4 and started looking for rides at 5, standing near the exit worked great, drivers could see us and slow down to talk before leaving.”

“got here from Berlin on out way to Munich. Actually this could be a great place but this day was strange. We arrived at 6pm and within the next hour 3 people first agreed to give us a lift and then changed their minds! We didnt looked fucked up at all. Instead they gave us beer and some coins for food!? So we waited here for hours and another 5 people driving southern were acting extremely careful”
