“It's the last petrol station before highway. Great place. Catch a car to Leipzig took us 7min, for my friends it's usually average 20min.”

“You should only ask the people before they go to pay the fuel and than its realy easy to get a lift in the direction of berlin! we wait only 5 minutes for 2 places and a lot of bagguage”

“There are not that many cars on Saturday afternoon. I couldn't get a ride to Berlin after ~2 hours waiting. The next gas station 350 m north is more popular due to lower prices. It might be a better option.”

“I was lucky here. This guy volunteered to takeme out of the Berliner Ring to the highway I needed to hit!”

“I guess I was lucky. I arrived here around 23.30, the patrol station was almost empty, but than a car stopped and I saw on the licence plat they were coming from Magdeburg. I could join them to Magdeburg.”

“Am Fichtenplan Nord, A10. It seems that most cars here are locals going into Berlin after refilling fuel. The best from here is to get a short ride to the next station Michendorf, where there's a lot more long distance traffic, both to Magdeburg/Hannover as well as Leipzig.”
