“where the "middle ring road" is coming out of the tunnel there is enough place to stop for cars and they don't go too fast. good place, although watch out for ants!”

“> A9 either bad luck or bad point, I got stuck there with a friend, following directions we found on a website. Definitely change hitching place!”

“august 2014. i waited quite a long time here (1,5), but most people who stopped weren't going my way. Probably it's better to get out to the gas station in Eching.”

“3/2012. No ants! Good place cause the cars can stop at the end of the tunnel. A woman picked us up after waiting 30 minutes - try to do a little choreography to attract the attention of cars ;)”

“i waited 1h10 with a paper for Nürnberg. I changed the paper for Ingolstadt and i just waited 35 sec ( 4 cars) i think it's a good place but most of the car come from Munich and don't go far away”

“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!”

“bad place to start.. lot of cars going by but either they were unfriendly or didn't go to nuremberg. sign highly recommended, because people can still go everywhere from there. hard to focus on drivers with so much traffic zooming by, and I think quite some people didn't stop because it's not a good place to stop, although there is some space. I'll try a different spot next time. PS: lots of ants ”

“August 2013. There are ants but they weren't so bad. I waited 40 minutes to find a car going in the right direction. 4 other cars stopped in this time. This is a good spot!”

“not a bad spot but it is not legal to hitch from there so i got a lift with a cop car.....”

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