At the moment the petrol station is under construction so I continued to the train station to get to Groningen without trying hitchhiking

After the bad luck on the official spot in Amsterdam, here we did not even started hitchhiking and guy came asking where we are going and took us all the way behind Groningen. He was himself and experienced hitchhiker.

Super busy and great if you're heading towards Germany. Was planning to ride the A1 east so turned down two rides going north, but was then offered a ride all the way to Bremen passing through Groningen. Didn't even have to ask drivers just stood by the exit.

Waited 15 minutes. We're about to turn around to go further south and walk to julianaplein. Then we heard 2 cars, took one more try. One stopped, they saw my blue jacket together with the sign and thumbs and took us al the way to Zwolle. they had to go to Amersfoort. Arguably the best spot for leaving Groningen. Have one stand at left Emmasingel side (west) to talk to the drivers and one with the signs to Stationsweg (east) as a tip (worked last time)

Was trying to go direction Utrecht. A lot of cars stopped but everyone was going north towards Groningen or Almere.

Not a lot of people heading to Germany; still one of the best spots to hitchhike east from Groningen. Try avoiding the A7-A28(0) route if coming from elsewhere in the Netherlands, the route via Hengelo (A1-A30) is a lot more busy.

Arrived there around 10pm and got really lucky; first person I asked was going to Groningen. Seems like a very solid spot.

Great spot towards Groningen, never had to wait for more than 5 minutes (even in the evening).

I would never stop here on purpose. Minimal traffic and none to Netherland. If you are stuck here, I would rather try to reach the Port of Groningen gas station 5 km away passing through Bunde town

I was asking the drivers to pick me up to Groningen. Finally after 45 minutes (it was at 9.PM) the guy took me to the center of Groningen.

Directions Zwolle/Groningen/Enschede (Emmen) not a lot of space to properly stop for cars but I still managed to get picked up in a few minutes due to low traffic.

Direction Emmen/Groningen. Got dropped here at the side of the road, there's not a lot of space to stop but I got picked up in a few minutes because traffic was low. Seems a decent spot.

Entrance to the motorway N34 Direction emmen/groningen. There's almost no taking this entrance, you'd better try hitching from the other side of hardenberg. The spot seems great for hitchhiking to zwolle/ommen from the other side of the road though.

The place is good because its enough space for cars to pull over, traffic is still going slow, and headed south, Alkmaar, Amsterdam, Den Haag.

This place is good too for heading east for Harlingen, Neewarden and Groningen

Stood here with a sign for Groningen, then changed it to a closer Zwolle, thinking our destination might seem too far for the drivers. As soon as we did it, a driver stopped, one that was going all the way to our destination :D
