Hitchhing out

To the South (A7, Göttingen)

Don't use the ramp Salzgitter Watenstedt, the traffic is going very fast here and the spot is behind a bridge where you can't be seen soon enough. Also it is difficult to stop there. Quarim tried it 4 times from there and always waited between 40 minutes and 2 hours.

to Wolfenbüttel

You can easily get a direct lift to Wolfenbüttel, if you place yourself somewhere on the Konrad-Adenauer-Straße in Salzgitter-Lebenstedt. Another option is to hitchhike from the MAN company parking place.
