Germans mostly don't like to give complicated directions to those who ask.
If they know where the place is
they'll just gesture in the direction and say something like
in diese Richtung, which means in this direction.
And even if they don't know
they'll probably give you a direction based on the feeling where the place might be.
Germans like to be helpful.
