'''Oldenzaal''' is a city in the east of the [[Netherlands]].
== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out ==
=== South towards [[Enschede]] ===
Walk or take the bus number 60 or 62 towards ''[[Enschede]] Centraal'' and get out at '''Oldenzaal''' ''Hanzepoort'' (or just stay on the bus to get to Enschede). You'll find a McDonalds to your right, here just walk to the left along the bicycle path towards the forest next to the road.
There are two lanes, and after some meters it becomes one. Just walk some 500 meter next to the road, and you'll find a small paved bay where you can put down your stuff and people can stop. Everyone can see you and nearly all cars are heading towards [[Enschede]].
This spot is also good when you get off at the ramp in ''Oldenzaal-Zuid''. Then you're directly at ''Hanzepoort''. For the described spot, just walk to the right to the McDonalds.

=== East or West towards [[Bad Bentheim]] ([[Germany]]), [[Hengelo]], [[Amsterdam]] ===
If you are in '''Oldenzaal''', take the bus to ''Oldenzaal-Hanzepoort'' or walk there, it's not that far from the city center. At ''Hanzepoort'', get out of the bus and you'll see the highway motorway bridge and it's two ramps. There is enough space on the ramps in both directions (great hard shoulder) to stand on and wait for cars. They have to stop at the traffic lights in front of you, so they can see you. It is easy to get lifts to [[Germany]], because it's the 2nd last ramp before the border. Also easy for getting rides into the [[Netherlands]] towards [[Hengelo]], [[Deventer]] or further. Fantastic ramp!
