“august 2014; we had lots of stops for Augsburg or Stuttgart but our destination were Berlin; we finally took a car to the next gas station on A9, Fürholzen.”

“I met another hitch hiker here last Friday. The two of us didn't get a ride for for about half an hour. Then she got picked up alone after about ten minutes and I got a lift after five. Luckily, we met in Nürnberg and went all the way to Berlin together :) Also... The spot is right in front of the entrance to the Autobahn - a police car went by and didn't warn or ask us to leave!”

“Perfect spot to A9 north. Beware of the people going to the airport or Augsburg, then you will end up on a different Autobahn.”
