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)”

“Almost no cars stoping at petrol station, but there is a lot of truck drivers. The best thing to do is ask some truck driver for a ride to the next petrol station.”

“Waited about 2 hours in the sun with fellow hitcher, got picked up to Heilbronn service station. We were spotted by a German businessman going to Stuttgart here, he went to take us on the next service station and gave us 80€ and took us to the Stuttgart train station to get to Nürnberg”
