Busy gas station but everyone going just to Ghent. Almost no one going to Lille. Found a ride after 60 minutes but only because the driver took a big detour to help us out.

Quite a busy gas station for the size. Everyone is going into Belgium or France. Took us 5 minutes to find a car heading to Ghent.

Walkable from the nearby S-Bahn Station for fellow hitchhikers that prefer to start at a highway service station.

Got a ride to the station before Aachen (first car I asked) right away, and easily made it to Ghent (my final destination) in Jan 23.

Walked down a bit the road with a sign Ghent, got a direct ride within 5 mins. Lots of parking space for car to pull by along the whole road to the south

Hitchhikers paradise, dutch speaking part of Belgium is amazing for hitchhiking and specially this petrol station. First car stoppedand got a direct ride to Ostende, if you are going towards Ghent-Ostende, no doubt this is place. You can come by public transport

this is a good spot if you're going to Ghent. Drivers can see you from a distance and have enough space to stop. There's a busstop for the 58 if you want to go to the innercity of Ghent, but it will take twice as long comparing to driving by car due to numerous little villages in between.

Just take the bus 70-71-72-73-74-75-76-77-78-79 to 'ter platen brug' and walk to this place to get out of ghent in any direction. I've started here like 10 times and never had to wait more then 5 minutes.

With some luck, you can catch a long ride. There were people driving to Ghent (Belgium), but their car was full. Other people where driving to Antwerp (Belgium), but they only wanted to take me to Berlin.
