What hitchhikers said along this route

“one of the best locations to get to A9 (Berlin/München) an A3 (Würzburg/Regensburg). Take Tram 8 to to final station Erlenstegen. Only waited 20min.”

“Tram 8 to Erlenstegen or S-Bahn or even Regionalbahn (if they are stopping there!). I hitchhiked lokally (B14 to Lauf - Hersbruck - Sulzbach-Rosenberg) and it worked very well. I had a sign (Hersbruck) and was picked up within literally 10 seconds :) The next time I'll go to Regensburg (A3) I'd try here.”

“A great spot for the Frankfurt direction. There were plenty of trucks, and I got a ride almost immediately.”

“All the truck drivers were either resting or having a break of 2-3 hours, so I had my lunch here, ended up having barbecue and vodka with the Ukrainian truck drivers and then after that found an Afghani couple heading to Frankfurt, who had never heard of hitchhiking but who were happy to take me.”

“on the way to frankfurt very good. to change to the A7 towards the north, very difficult to find someone”
― Anonymous · Rasthof Haidt Nord
“Don't try it to hitchhike from there northwards the A7, waited like 3 hours to the next station at the A3 and after another 2.5 hours decided to go back to Nürnberg/Feucht”
― Anonymous, Tue 2013-05-14 · Rasthof Haidt Nord
“it's hard to get to the A7 from here. try to convice people going into Würzburg to take you to the first small parking on the A7 and then go into Würzburg from the North (exit Würzburg Estenfeld)”
― Fraughtwithsounds, Tue 2014-08-12 · Rasthof Haidt Nord
“Had to wait about 20min til I got my lift to Köln”
― Dan the man, Wed 2015-12-02 · Rasthof Haidt Nord
“Um auf die A7 zu kommen besser noch mal zurück fahren und von Raststätte Steigerwald versuchen.”
