“Petrol-station. Just a bit further than the official hitchhiking spot at the Amstel Station. Not many cars, but you can talk with the drivers.”

“Good spot with lots of friendly drivers. Got a lift to Apeldoorn in 20 mins. Bit of a mission to get to the spot but worth it compared to hitching from the official spot back in Amsterdam”

“Super busy and great if you're heading towards Germany. Was planning to ride the A1 east so turned down two rides going north, but was then offered a ride all the way to Bremen passing through Groningen. Didn't even have to ask drivers just stood by the exit.”

“Definitely an adventure to get there, but quite a lot of traffic. Definitely have a sign with you, most cars stopping did short trips(Monday morning).”
