Aachener Land Nord
Took me two hours to find someone to go in the direction of Liège. 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 💬, ride: 64 km ←

August 2016: Good spot, lots of trucks and cars passing by. After 30 minutes waiting I got a lift direct to Paris.

Easiest way to get to Maastricht is to find a driver going to Belgium or Eindhoven over the A76 in the Netherlands, then get out at A76 exit Geleen and hitch with sign Maastricht.
To get to Maastricht you can also find here any driver going to Heerlen-Eindhoven-Antwerpen, after crossing the border let the driver take the exit N281. Parallel road, the N281 has an exit Maastricht (with a petrol station at the beginning of the A79!). Then driver goes on on N281 towards his destination. This costs driver about 5 minutes extra driving time.

April 2013: A lot of cars with Belgian lincence plates (most of them with only one or two people in them). Got a direct lift to Antwerpen in no time.

Very few Dutch cars stopping here (dec 2012), much less than I expected. Like said before, most were full too because they are returning from a vacation.

It was getting darker and darker, when I got a ride to Bruxelles. Nice place with small airplanes in the air sometimes :)

Good spot, with one exception - Maastricht. There is almost impossible to find someone going to this city. I better went in the direction Liege and then in Belgium on A3 I switched on the gas station to the car going in the south-north direction (means trough Maastricht).

Lots of Dutch, Belgian and British traffic going to vacation so you have to be lucky to get a car with space in it. Nice spot anyhow.

Gas Station \"Aachener Land\". To get a ride out of Aachen following the A44 southwest, we got of at Merzbrck (5a) and walked to this station. 2,5km
