[edit] Hitching Out
[edit] East towards Enschede, Gronau (Germany)
When you're at the train station, just walk east into the Prins Bernhardplantsoen. Then, go left into the Veloursstraat, and at the next crossing you can enter the Enschedesestraat. After some meters (behind the bridge) you'll find enough place to try hitching towards Enschede. It's only some 5 km.
[edit] East, West towards Germany (A30), Apeldoorn
Take the bus #11 and get out at Kleine Driene. It's situated directly near the ramp Hengelo-Noord onto the A1. Just walk the street some 500 meter up. Then you can decide, going towards Germany or direction Amsterdam.
[edit] Overall Rating
This city is quite bad place to hitchhike, because in the city even by roads to highway is not enough space where cars could stop, only chance is at evening when it's no problem to stop in middle of road causing traffic jam.
