“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”

“I used this spot as filter from Berin drivers... here stops only people who goes to south (Dresden, Czech) or east (Poland). If you are going south you can ask drivers at Berlin ring going to Poland drop you here. Just filter.”

“This spot had a surprising amount of people even at 8 pm. We had only asked a couple of drivers of we could hitch a ride to Dresden before we were approached and offered a ride. We saw a lot of families stopping here, so finding a ride as a pair could be more difficult.”

“The day I was here was vacation start so a lot of cars with families fully packed and a few DD-Plates I stood with a sign for Dresden right before the exit but my backpack was 20 meters away so people will see the backpack first and then you so they have more time thinking about picking you up, that was the reason why I was eventually picked by 2 older women all the way to Dresden”
