* For [[User:Sweatybuttcheeks|Sweatybuttcheeks]] It wasn't the best spot. It's a better idea to take the bus to Muiden (€4.20 in 2017)
This is what the place looks like in [https://goo.gl/maps/JngKl Google Streetview].
* For [[User:Danishguy94|Danishguy94]] It was a terrible spot. Only dutch number plates at both the liftplaats and the Highway BP Honswijck petrol station. Definitely take the bus to in Muiden (€4.23 in 2019)

Liftplaatsand BP petrol station (mostly local traffic)
[[ File:Amsterdam liftplaats petrol station.png |thumb|The walking route from the former ''liftplaats'' location to the nearby petrol station.]]
There is a [[liftershalte|liftplaats]], a spot specifically for hitchhiking, at the Gooiseweg next to the Prins Bernhardplein situated before NS Station Amsterdam Amstel (pass the bus stop). This road leads to the ramp of the S112 of the A10, the motorway around Amsterdam (direction [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] and [[A2 (Netherlands)|A2]]). This is currently being turned into a third lane and is completely unusually for hitching a ride. A little further on that road, which is called Gooiseweg, and behind the bend you will find a BP petrol-station where you can talk to drivers, often a better way for getting a ride. The petrol station is easily accessible from the backstreets, and it is very easy to hail a ride from the side of the road immediately after the petrol station.
Most cars here will drive along the [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] towards [[Amersfoort]], [[Hengelo]] and [[Germany]]. The first petrol-station is just 8 kilometres further, just after [[Muiden]]. A second petrol station and parkingspot, called De Slaag, is located 37 kilometres from [[Amsterdam]], right before [[Amersfoort]].
Step out at "P+R Terrein" in Muiden, walk south Weesperweg for 200m, then turn left crossing the canal with the bridge Spieringburg/Mariahoeveweg for 200m, then 400m south along the Vecht canal (eastbank) on Lange Muiderweg. Now comes the unverified part: walk 800 meter east behind the noise breaker along the motorway and you will be at A1 BP-service station Honswijck.
There are trains, trams (12,51) and metros to Amstel station from most other stations in Amsterdam. It is a 1 minute walk from there, just behind the FORTIS Bank.

'''Option 2''' There is often a lot of competition at the ''liftplaats'' and drivers usually only go short distances, so by the time you have finally left Holland you will have had approx. 3–6 rides. You can easily avoid this by taking a train to Hengelo (buy a discount ticket, see below). Then, from the train station ''Hengelo'' take bus 14 to ''Bruninkshoek''. You now find yourself on the street ''Oostelijke Esweg''. Walk in the direction the bus just came from towards the street ''Hasselerbaan'', then turn left. Walk down until you cross ''Oldenzaalsestraat''. Turn left and you will see a footbridge overlooking the A1. When you have crossed the bridge, don't turn right but walk through the grass and descend down. Turn left before the ditch and walk with the ditch on your right. Continue until you see a little forest; here you have to jump over a small ditch. Walk through the little forest and you will reach an excellent service station where nearly all cars go to Germany.
