Great spot towards the border. We just started asking people in the morning and a couple took us to the border.

I got very lucky on a early Saturday morning in December.

I took bus 5 to Scharmer here and walked across the bridge to get to the gas station,
there was only a very narrow and slippery plank across the ditch though, so it is quite hard to reach.

But I got lucky and got a ride all the way to Bremen from here.

it can take a while but if you're lucky you will find a ride to hamburg directly

Got really unlucky on this station. 7 years of hitch-hiking and it's the first time that it happens to me. The guy of the gas station came and said that it's illegal to hitch-hike, that i should go on the parking more far. There was almost no one on this day, so i said that it's legal and that i will stay here anyway. The guy spend the 2 hours that i was here saying to people to not take me. Finally he got bored and i got a ride. Crazy!

After five minutes i got a ride to the next gas station, which was way less crowded than this one. It's probably best to try to get past the border at once from here.

Easy spot.
Take bus 78 from Groningen to 'Hoofdweg 15, Scharmer'. From there, cross the highway over the bridge and go right towards the petrol station. At the end of the road is a little bridge which will help you to get over the water.

Good spot in the direction of the German border. Be ware that the petrol station is not open before seven in the morning.
