Enschede is a city in the east of the Netherlands.

There was a liftershalte, a spot for hitchhikers, on the Westerval, at the Parkweg (direction A35). It disappeared somehow in 2006.

Hitching Out

East towards Germany

<map lat='52.2206557200447' lng='6.881561279296875' zoom='12' view='0' height='250' float='right'/> There is an A1 ramp in Oldenzaal-Zuid. This is around 6km north of Enschede. You can get there by taking the bus line 60 or 62 to Oldenzaal at the central bus station in Enschede. The price is 2,50 Euro.

Get out of the bus at "Hanzepoort", cross the street and go 50m to the right. There you can stand on the ramp up to the Dutch Highway A1 (German A30) to Bad Bentheim / Osnabrück. Average waiting time is 7min, most people go to Germany, mostly to the villages near the border. This ramp is the 2nd last before the German border, so try to get to the parking area at the border, there you can find trucks that are going more east to Osnabrück, Hannover or Berlin. If you like more going from ramp to ramp, check out A30, maybe you can better catch a ride towards the ramp Nordhorn/Bentheim and from there get faster eastwards.

West towards Hengelo, Apeldoorn, Utrecht, Amsterdam

To get on the A35 you just have to go to the Zuiderval. Take bus #2 Helmerhoek and get out at the P+R Zuiderval and walk to the higway (100 m). There are traffic lights and enough space for cars to stop. Use a sign with Deventer and get a lift to the gas station before Deventer.

On-ramp Oldenzaal-Zuid towards Germany.

All other directions

If you are at the University of Twente, try this: Go to the entry of the University, go the "Auke Vleerstraat" straightforward for around 1km (crossing 2 traffic circles, 2 bridges). After the second bridge you'll find traffic lights. Directly behind these traffic lights is a bus bay where you can stand perfectly to show all coming cars that you need a lift up on to the A35 to the east (Gronau (Germany) or to the west to Hengelo (Highway A1).

Sleeping

It's possible to camp somewhere on the University campus, if you ask the security guys at the campus entry kindly to put your tent on a hidden spot somewhere between the trees. There's much green on the campus, only thing will be geese that are hanging around there ;) Otherwise, you also can contact platschi via couchsurfing or bewelcome. Same username there. Might always have some place for hitchhikers to crash.
