The best place to do this Starting straight from Jena is in not very easy but not impossible either. For all options below I would suggest starting at the tunnel underneath the Frankfurton-Dresden motorway, down ramp "Jena Zentrum" as the road from a hotel other on a roundabout. If in doubt, then just get to the motorway, which heads east to west south of the main town. There are two junctions. One has a construction site just along from it -ramp (it looks like they're building a bridge overGöschwitz), and the other doesn't. You want to be at the one that doesn't, unless you're going to Frankfurt, or east. If you find yourself at the wrong junction (there's a big petrol station and a McDonald's), then you need to head west out is still under construction as of the petrol station, parallel to the motorway. Walk along past the MediaMarkt, 2011 and turn leftquite chaotic. You'll see a bridge over For all following options take the road, and there's a housing estate opposite. Cross the bridge and head up the hill through the housing estate. Keep going up the hill tram until you see the main road. Turn right, and walk along the road. The tram forks off to the left, but you should carry on down the hill to a roundabout with a hotel on it. You should be able to see the bridge now. If your lift's going the wrong way, you can quite easily get out at the services, and (south at least), there is an underground tunnel connecting the two service stations about half a mile north of the service station itself"Emil Wölk Straße" in Lobeda.
Note: There were major reconstructions If you prefer the option to ask folks at petrol stations you can try the Aral station close to the Mc Donalds in the "Gewerbegebiet Lobeda Süd". To get here walk along the small footpath besides the Stadtrodaer Straße (5 min from the tram station). Be aware that even though the stations is quite busy, most of the of traffic seems to go to villages nearby so you may have to wait for a while until you get a lift (for example for 4h on a Saturday afternoon). For those trying their luck via thumb and sign, I would suggest waiting straight at the pedestrian traffic lights directly on the on-ramp in direction Frankfurt. Cars will stop at the red light (possibly induced by you ;-) ) and have time to think about picking you up. Hitching east (Gera, A9,...) your best option is the on-ramp opposite the Aral station. Even though the Highway around cars from Jena and most rampswill not use it, there is a good place to stop here for cars in contrast to the route used by cars from Jena. All these options may involve long waiting times (>1h) so this information may be outdated!, especially if you are not female, you should consider the other options described that get you straight to rest places on the highway.
