Wageningen is a small city in the eastern part of the Netherlands, near to Arnhem and Nijmegen, (15 and 25 kilometres respectively) located in the province of Gelderland.
Hitchhiking out
Wageningen is a student town, and two-thirds of the population is either student, or works for one of the many scientific institutions in town. As a result of this, the locals are very progressive and open-minded, and hitchhiking is extremely easy, either on the small roads leading out of town, as well as on the Wageningen ramps on both motorway A 12 when heading west to Utrecht and further, and motorway A 50 south to Nijmegen and Eindhoven. Both ramps are 7 kilometres out of town, and traffic for Arnhem will usually use local roads, unless they need to be in the south of Arnhem.
