What hitchhikers said along this route

“Official hitchhiking spot (liftershalte).”
― Chris9012, Sun 2024-10-06 · Nijmegen
“Good spot, there is a liftershalte 100 meters after the traffic lights, but this makes no sense. Sometimes I wait here too long like 45 minutes, but that is not a problem. To Arnhem Max 15 minutes wait.”
― Dwz, Tue 2025-05-20 · Nijmegen
“It's a liftershalte (basically an official hitchhiking spot, signaled with a sign pole and all, check the pictures on google maps) Had a sign with "Arnhem" written on it and I put some music to kill time while waiting. The first song didn't even finish that a dude stopped by and I got my ride to Arnhem. Honestly quite an incredible experience and the fastest lift I'll probably ever got. I don't”

“Was wrting a sign to use at the onramp, but a man saw me writing it and offered me a ride.”
― Chris9012, Sat 2025-09-13 · Europaweg, Arnhem
“Not very good petrol station, no restaurant. We were here on Wednesday at 7 am going to Germany. At this hour not many cars stopped here, some trucks on the parking. After 1 h we found a guy going to Cologne.”
― Paczix, Sat 2013-10-12 · Duiven
“Pretty good gas station to get to Germany, probably the best option you've got coming from Arnhem or elsewhere in the region. Plenty of people, as mentioned above, to at least Hünxe.”
― Maxim1110, Thu 2015-12-17 · Duiven
“Quite easy to get a ride to Hünxe, last petrol station before the Ruhrgebiet from where you can try to hop over that petrol station thin area.”
― Ostkreuz, Thu 2013-04-04 · Duiven
“Service station Oudbroeken, A12 direction Germany. Less German cars than you'd expect, but not that hard to catch a ride to the Ruhrgebiet.”
― Anonymous, Mon 2012-08-06 · Duiven
“BEWARE!! Gasstation is closed because the connection to the A15 will be here.The parking might still be open, Check before you go here.”
― Chris9012, Mon 2023-05-08 · Duiven
“Stop here if you want to cross the Ruhrgebiet, and try to get a direct ride across. On the A3 that means at least to Köln. I got a ride there after some 20 minutes, but the guy eventually took me all the way to Wiesbaden after his scheduled work meeting close to Köln had been cancelled.”
