'''Aachen''' is a city in [[North Rhine-Westphalia]], [[Germany]], close to the [[Netherlands]] and [[Belgium]].
== Hitching out = A4 from/to east (Cologne) ===
==Public transportation =South towards [[Liege]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Eifel]]===Another option to go to in the direction of Belgium, especially if you want to go to [[Liège]] or [[Luxembourg]], is to go to the service station on the German-Belgium border at the A44. Take bus #11, #36, #55, or #SB63 from ''Busbahnhof'' or ''Hauptbahnhof'' (central station) to ''Oberforstbach Laschet'', get out and walk back the direction you came from. You have to walk a few hundred meters until you reach a bridge after which you turn left to get to the service station after 150-200m (you can either walk through the fields or use the exit and walk along the autobahn). At the same bridge there is also the exit #2 ''Aachen-Lichtenbusch'' at the A44 which you can use to go either in the direction of Köln (or at least to the service station ''Aachener Land'') or in the direction of Belgium.
== Other useful info ==
There are quite a few [[police]] controls around Aachen, so make sure you are not bringing any drugs from the Netherlands to Germany as you might get controlled. Controls are for sure for buses, cars and even bicycles. Bus lines from the NL are being controlled, especially the line 50 from Maastricht if you get out at the main train station. Cars are more likely to be controlled if they have registration plates from other cities than Aachen.
