Perfect stop. Found a nice guy that brought us to Antwerp. Just asked around people in the cars.

There was some really nice shadow from the gas station pricing sign when I stold there, and the gas station was perfect for people to pull in tgo pick me up. However, I waited for what felt like an eternity, while most drivers didn't even aknowledge my existence. Not sure whether it's the spot or the Netherlands in general, but a tiring experience it was. Eventually a really cool woman picked me up in her 1987 Toyota and took me to Eindhoven

Not to much traffic at 6pm but still I quite quickly got ride towards service station before Ghent

Not ideal but walking here is quite easy aldo also little bit unpleasant and you can get from here to the big petrol station before Utrecht

Some waiting was needed but it still good spot to Amsterdam

Not to much traffic but works good. If you don't get any lift from here there is good spot for camping behind the three's north of truck parking on that station right next to something that during colder weather is a river I think

Mi provis rektan itineron, sed ili proponis al mi unu al la flughaveno. Ne akceptu la flughavenan itineron; la elirejo tie estas malbona, krom se vi scias kiel kapti buson en pli bona loko ĉe la flughaveno, aŭ eliri pli frue ĉe iu benzinstaciego.

Mi provis 2-kilometran ŝildon por eliri de tie, sed ĝi estis terura.

Lasta veturo al la domo de mia amikino Isolda, kiun mi renkontis ĉe la Polyglot-kunveno en Prago en 2024.

2nd driver I asked at fuelstation took me to Amsterdam. Dropped me at exit RAI

Very long entrance to unmanned fuelstation. Perfect for cars to see you and stop. I used thumb to get to next fuelstation near Vreeland.

I got send away by Rijkswater staat guy from the onramp hard shoulder within 5 minutes. Walked back to roundabout just before the highway sign; there is a grass shoulder next to the road, not ideal but good enough to stop. Used sign Amersfoort.

Estis bone por mi... Mi iom piediris por alveni ĉi tien, sed ĝi bone funkciis.

Nice spot to get out of Duisburg towards the Netherlands, but I must say it was probably more about luck than a good spot. There's no shadow to stand in during summer btw, I got quite a sizzle on my neck after that half hour. The driver was really nice though, drove me all the way past Venlo, when he didn't even plan to cross into the Netherlands at all, and even bought me a coke and gave me some cardboard for a new sign

You have to wait a little but it's fully doable. I rejected fiew rides to Hamburg itself and went with driver who was going towards Bremen however during ride I found out that my driver was actually going towards the Netherlands so I decided to go there with him. At the spot itself there is nice forest for camping at night, you can access it by first crossing first fence using an open entrence for service road located in between two fences, then go litte bit north till you se place in which fence has been cutted. Then you are here, actually I would say that this spot is much better for sleeping than previous little bit up north of here and yes, thumbing at the exit works, you just need to be patient so if you are shy like me just stand there and somebody will stop

Good spot! I was asking around for an hour and in the end met a couple from the Netherlands while filling up my water. The took me all the way where I needed to go. I spent 6 hours travelling with them. Really perfect. I asked at the parking lot at the end, not at the gas station. 1 male

Lots of traffic, refused a few rides to Warsaw to try and go further towards Germany without getting stuck. Found a guy going the Netherlands that unfortunately couldn't take us all the way but took us to another big MOP near Konin. Couple F/M stood by the exit with sign and thumbs.

Really complicated to get out of Rouen for me, some people dont take the highway and leave you in random place Waited three hours, almost lost hope but someone took me fit the north Nb; my father was blocked two times while going to the Netherlands, in the exact same place for a whole day. Stay away if you can

Was hitchhiking at the end of the gasstation for about ten minutes until a mother and her daughter picked me up. I was heading to the Netherlands and they happened to be going all the way to Dijon. I got lucky, so I don’t actually know if it is a good spot for heading north.

―Oaklog, June 2026

Stood there for about 20 minutes. Many people heading to the Netherlands but often with packed cars. Saw someone I knew at the petrol station who gave me a ride to Rotterdam.

―Olivierh, June 2026

There passes enough cars. Asked some people but not many wanted to take us or didn’t go far, but a really friendly couple of the Netherlands took us to Rothenburg Germany and took us the next day again to Linz Austria, they even bought us food and gave 20 euros

Actually a good spot, but the people were not very nice and not helpful at all. A nice woman from the Netherlands picked me up.

Generally good place going east. This time on sunday afternoon with lot of full cars; so had to ask around longer than expected. You can walk from Sud to Nord under A30 via a tunnel. From Hannover center take u-bahn 4 to Garbsen & bus 126 to Am Blaue See. German cars with BI licenseplate will pass next gasstation Auetal. Dutch cars with yellow plates might go straight to the Netherlands.

―Splunt, May 2026

Great spot if you want to go to the Netherlands. Lot of Dutch cars. Because we were with 4 people it took a bit longer but very good to go from.

―Siemieon, April 2026

Quite alright but not great. To get a ride down in the Netherlands. Though you're not allowed to ask in front of the gas station because that is prohibited there.

We Were hitchhiking to the North on a Sunday morning. Incredibly we found someone after 50 min to Rotterdam all the way to our destination in the Netherlands.

I only asked Dutch license plates. Direct ride to the Netherlands.

Wanted to go to Paris, not the best spot for that. Many people go to the Netherlands or Brussels.

―ThomasNCG, April 2026

Good spot for Belgium or the Netherlands. Takes a second to find a ride but it makes sense to wait for a longer distance ride that takes you well in the direction you want to take.

―Elvyn, March 2026

Direction North: Apart from Brussels many cars go to Antwerp or the Netherlands. Not so much for Gent

―Elvyn, March 2026

52.21783, 7.00854

Half of the cars here are Dutch, so there are many people going to Enschede/Hengelo. If you just ask around you can definitely get a ride to the Netherlands very fast Second person I asked gave me a ride to Enschede.

―S, February 2026

There is traffic going to Genk, the Netherlands or Germany. Also some UK plates.
