“Good place to start hitchhiking from nürnberg in direction to berlin.”

“Got a ride in 25 minutes to Himmelkron with a sign saying Nord”

“Got instantly taken by the first car I asked. A fair amount of people stopping, the arrangement of parking lots makes it easy to ask people”

“Got a direct ride to berlin with a Hamburg sign”
― Mr.minefield, Thu 2026-09-10 · Brunn Ost

“When I came there (6 pm), lots of trucks doing break and only 2 cars were there, but first car I asked took me all the way were I needed to go. I guess there could be a potential to have long waiting time here. If you don't get dropped here you are able to find holes in the fence around the parking place and thus get onto it even with lots of luggage.”

“Medium traffic on weekday morning. Most continue on A9 north.”

“Resting point. En route north. Not extremely many cars or trucks, but enough. You can speak with the drivers. In my case all were friendly. Most of them went to Dresden or further to Poland. But I found someone going to Berlin”

“Many people go towards Dresden, not Leipzig or Berlin. Still easily doable to find a lift, you can speak to drivers. I eventually found a truck driver who took me.”

“Not perfect place. Mich people to Dresden or North (Leipzig Berlin)”
― neAn, Wed 2025-06-25 · Leupoldsgrün

“Likely a good spot for Berlin and Leipzig, but I had little luck here going in the Chemnitz direction. It was one of the last hitches of my journey. I looked a bit desperate, but one elderly couple took mercy on me and took me in.”
