Last petrol station on the highway before entering the Netherlands. Don't get stuck here at night as there is nobody! I went to sleep in the Hasbruch Tower which is in a nature reserve about a 30 minutes hike northwest. Next morning it took me two hours to head towards Leerrating: 3/5, wait: 120 min π¬, ride: 109 km β

Lots of space to pull over, but traffic seemed local. I was trying to get onto the E34 to the Netherlands via Antwerp(ambitious, I know) and was offered a ride that took me further down the N9.You might be better off taking the E40 to Ghent/Antwerp if you wanna go to the Netherlands, but I didn't try that other option. Disregarding that though, it's decent.

I went on the ferry thanks to a car coming from Maribo. Then on the ferry I was looking for people going directly to Hamburg. After 10 people, I found 2 dutch brothers coming from Norway and going to the Netherlands. They dropped me at Moorfleet Ikea Hamburg. I was alone and with a small bag.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min, ride: 181 km β

Its a really good spot to get to the Netherlands because this road leads to the cities in that direction. I needed to reach Maastricht and it was the first driver who took me directly there. Its faster to get a ride standing with a sign.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min, ride: 110 km β

Used this hitchhiking frequently lately. Going to Wallonia/France/South is very hard if you are not willing to go via Liege. Going to Bruxelles would be a question of a few minutes and going direction Aarschot/Antwerpen/The Netherlands will take around half an hour I guessrating: 3/5, wait: 120 min π¬, ride: 14 km β

Amazing spot if you're going anywhere in the Netherlands. There was a lot of traffic and I quickly found a driver who took me to the service station in the south of Nijmegen.In retrospect, I should have waited here longer and looked for a longer ride.

Great spot if you're hitchhiking from Cologne to the Netherlands. You can get here from Nievenheim train station and bus WE2. After that it's just a 15 minute walk to the station.If you look on Google satellite, you will spot a small trail after the bridge over the highway. It is traversable but I wouldn't recommend it as it leads through hunting grounds that are private property. Better to take the long way around. Either way, the service station is accessible on foot through a whole in the fence or on the small road.
Waited for 5 minutes, then found a friendly man and his girlfriend who took me one service station further to GeismΓΌhle. There was low traffic on Saturday, but I got lucky and found somebody quickly.

Took me two hours to find someone to go in the direction of LiΓ¨ge. To be fair, it was a bad time, Mid-November on a weekday when it was super foggy, but most people were just going to Aachen or North to the Netherlands or Antwerp. So if you wanna go there, it's a good spot, I guess. However the person who took me was super nice and even made a small detour for me.rating: 2/5, wait: 120 min π¬, ride: 64 km β

Had to wait for over an hour, then decided to ask around, and managed to hitch a ride to Zeist. It wasn't a bad spot per se, bigger gasstations are just more preferable, also the bathroom here was shit.
