Apparently - ''from what [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] has heard'' - there is a somewhat official hitchhiking spot at ''Europaplatz''.

Cars number plates starting with the letter letters '''AC''' are registered in this locality. While the Number plate noted License plates with '''DN are ''' indicate that a car is from the a neighbour locality of Düren.

There is a nice [[gas station]], ''Aachener Land'', on the A4, not too far east of Aachen. It's is good to get into the for heading towards Netherlands and or Belgium, and on while the other side it's probably offers good opportunities to go anywhere hitch towards almost any region in [[Germany]]. The fastest way to get there is by taking a bus #52 from the ''Busbahnhof''. It stops close to the [[service area]]. In the bus #52 It should be also mentioned that there are good chances of meeting ticket controllers higher-than-averagewhile on that bus; in addition, and you have to show your ticket to the driver when entering the bus (but mostly although generally you can show anything looking like a ticketand probably get away with it). If you want Another option is to avoid this, start hitchhiking from ''Europaplatz '' just where the cars enter the highway from the a roundabout. When going to east East (direction Köln), leave ''Aachener Land'' behind you. When going to westWest, step out at the gas station and do a little walk over the bridge nearby to cross the highway.

I don't like drugs and I was never checked on the border. Once in my life I had some marihuana with me, our host so kindly asked for it that I took the risk, although I did not know what kind of risk I was actually running ;) Alternatively, if heading towards the Netherlands one can walk from the ''Ponttor '' while in Aachen walk for about two kilometres kilometers up on the ''Roermonderstrasse''. There are some petrol stations where you could can find a Dutch driver. If you are going to [[Maastricht ]] you could can also go to the ''Vaalserstrasse '' or take a bus to ''Vaals''. The roundabout at the west West end of Vaals , for instance, is a good place to hitchhike, for example. For the rest, use common sense, or practice a year and you'll be a lot more confident :) --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:18, 25 August 2008 (CEST)
