- (62) Helmstedt-Zentrum
- (62a) Helmstedt (good)
- (63) Helmstedt-Ost / Marienborn
- (63a) Lappwald / Marienborn (very good)
- Two big service station's in both directions. Lappwald towards Hannover with a good construction, all cars of the service station have to get out at one long road with enough space to stop for you. On the other side (Marienborn) you can visit the old inner-German border, many tourist will stop here, but also good to get cars towards Berlin.
- (64) Alleringsleben
- (65) Eilsleben
- (66) Bornstedt
- (66a) Börde (very good)
- (67) Irxleben
- (68) Kreuz Magdeburg
- (69) Magdeburg-Kannenstieg (average)
- Get out here if you want to go towards Magdeburg. Walk some meters down the road, there you'll have enough space to stop cars. They can take you for around 2-3 kilometers, there you'll find a small train station that brings you right into the city. Not much traffic for hitching up the highway though, so only average rating.
- (70) Magdeburg-Zentrum (bad)
- Direct ramp towards the center, but quite busy road with not much chance to stop cars. Better try Kannenstieg, somewhat less traffic but you can get into the city more relaxed. If going out of Magdeburg, this ramp is good because some 1-2 kilometers before there is a gas station situated. Check the Magdeburg-page for further information.
