'''Aachen''' is a city in [[North Rhine-Westphalia]], [[Germany]], close to the [[Netherlands]] and [[Belgium]].
== Hitching Out ===== West towards [[Netherlands]], [[A44 from/to south (Belgium]], East towards [[Köln]] ) ===There is a nice [[petrol station]], ''Aachener Land'', on the A4, not too far east of Aachen. It is good for heading towards Netherlands or Belgium, while the other side offers good opportunities to hitch towards almost any region in [[Germany]]. The fastest way to get there is by taking a bus #52 from the ''Busbahnhof''. It stops close to the [[service area]]. Another option is to start hitchhiking from ''Europaplatz'' just where the cars enter the motorway from a [[roundabout]]. When going East (direction Köln), leave ''Aachener Land'' behind you. When going West, step out at the petrol station and do a little walk over the bridge nearby to cross the motorway.
==Other Useful Infouseful info ==
There are quite a few [[police]] controls around Aachen, so make sure you are not bringing any drugs from the Netherlands to Germany as you might get controlled. Controls are for sure for buses, although hitchhiker [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] writes: ''"I don't like drugs cars and I was never checked on even bicycles. Bus lines from the border. Once in my life I had some marihuana with meNL are being controlled, our host so kindly asked for it that I took especially the line 50 from Maastricht if you get out at the risk, although I did not know what kind of risk I was actually runningmain train station. Cars are more likely to be controlled if they have registration plates from other cities than Aachen."''
