What hitchhikers said along this route

“as far as I remember, there is also a petrol station where drivers fill up their cars before going on the highway - it's next to the tram stop "Oberforsthaus" (line 21).”

“Not a really good spot. Low traffic. Not many people are going further to the highway; instead, they are returning to the city. (1 M, 1 F)”

“You can stand on the elevated block right at the entrance of the gas station and thus draw the attention of four lanes of traffic right towards you. There's enough options for cars to stop (either the gas station or the lane for the access lane)”

“Very great place. You can easily get very long lifts in any direction. From Bruchsal train station, take bus no. 125 to "Rasthof Ost" for north or "Rasthof West" for south.”
