Hitching Out

<map lat='50.84930707388861' lng='5.700874328613281' zoom='12' view='3' float='right'/>

North towards Eindhoven (and motorway towards Aachen/Köln, Germany)

There is a liftershalte, a special spot for hitchhiknig, at the beginning of the A2 near the soccer stadium De Geusselt (Viaductweg x N2/A2) (direction Eindhoven) and the A79 (direction Heerlen). Though with the future upgrade of the N2 to A2 this liftershalte might be receded! So please leave some hitchhiking sign there everytime you hitchhike so that the authorities might change their mind.

It is also possible to use this spot to hitchhike towards the motorway Aachen and then on to Köln and further. However, it is not always simple to catch somebody crossing the boarder (30-60 minutes waiting-time on average). Some people recommend to catch a lift to Heerlen and then catch another one to Aachen.
