Den Haag or The Hague is a big city in the Netherlands. It is located in the province of Zuid Holland.

Hitching Out

North, West, South towards Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam

The liftershalte, a spot for hitchhiking at the beginning of the A12 next to the Malieveld not far from the central Station is great when you're going in the direction of Utrecht, but it could also work when going north towards Amsterdam or south towards Rotterdam and Belgium.

Via ferry from Hoek van Holland to Harwich (East England)

I got a hint by a very nice CS fellow concerning this way:

But I do have to tell you to might think over hitching
from Hoek van Holland. I have tried it and it was one
of the worst things... I got thrown out of the port by
really aggressive guards telling me I was an illegal
immigrant and so on...
I mean I have hitched from lots of ports in my life and
never really had any problems as the truck drivers usually
don't pay for extra passengers and are cool to take
you... So if you really wanna go that way hitch a bit
before the port.. There are for example a little petrol
station just before, so if you get a lift there with
someone not going to Harwich, tell them to drop you
off there instead of taking you all the way to the
port and when you are with the truck driver you can
just as well be there colleague or relative or
whatever...
But to be honest, not many ferries goes from there so if
you do not get on one you probably have to sped the
night outside if the cold in the middle off a huge
industrial area in the middle of nowhere...
I had to get a lift back to Rotterdam that night and
spent the night there and then hitch south to Calais
to get the ferry to Dover the next day.. Quite
frustrating as I was so close to get home and then had
to change plans as they would never let me in to that
port again..
Oh, well good luck whatever you end up doing!
