“For direction to Aachen the locals from Heerlen will more likely take this road than the highway so we tried even if it looks like there is not enough space but there was and we got a ride pretty fast! For Maastricht try the other spot on next to the gas station.”

“Took a rather long time to get a ride (1,5h). However the spot is not that bad. Might just have been a slow day. Cars can stop at the entrance to the venue "Hoeve Ter Aar" and cars from all sides are not driving that fast yet as they have to stop before a traffic light.”

“Aachen, Köln, (Düsselsorf), (Berlin), (Poland), (Czech Republic), (Austria). Fuel station on A76 between junction Knooppunt Bocholtz and the state border “Tienbaan” (8 km). Bus 43/143 stop “Wilheminalaan”, 200 m N Wilhelminalaan, 200 m NE Prins Hendrikstraat, 50 m NE, 600 m N Stevensweg. 50 min from train station Heerlen. Fuel station on the motorway. Ss.”
