“'hamburg - horner kreisel'; an excellent spot to reach 'berlin', 'lübeck', 'rostock' or to find someone driving in the direction of denmark ('copenhagen' or 'roskilde'). there is a busstop where you can stand, the round-about is a safe (for drivers) and legal (for you) spot to stand at. it should not take more than 20 minutes to find a driver. there is a marker place right on the on-ramp of the a”

“You take the train to the station Hasselbrook, from this position you walk to the Sievekingsallee and turn left. The you will find a circle. Its the best Position, for making hitch hicking to Berlin and Lübeck. But you must stand their with a sign, where you displayed your aim.”

“I prefer the spot right beside the traffic light (the one before you enter the highway). So you can get into the car when they are waiting for green or some times they stop at the beginning of the autobahn. I recommend to use a sign. Usually I have a sign with a close destination to get to the next truckstop on highway and look there for another ride.”

“This is the best place If you wanna go north (Lübeck, Kiel) or east towards Berlin. Alone I never waited longer than 20 min. Best spot is directly before the circle starts. There is a bus station which allows rides to pull over without interrupting the traffic. I recommend using a sign.”
