'''Enschede''' is a city in the east of the [[Netherlands]].
__NOTOC__
There was a [[liftershalte]], a spot for hitchhikers, on the Westerval, at the Parkweg (direction A35). It disappeared somehow in 2006.
==Hitching Out=====East towards [[Germany]] ===;Option 1 along the highway towards [[Osnabrück]]<map lat='52.2206557200447' lng='6.881561279296875' zoom='12' view='0' height='250' float='right'/>There is an [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] ramp in [[Oldenzaal]]-Zuid. This is around 6km 6 km north of '''Enschede'''. You can get there by taking the bus line 60 or 62 to [[Oldenzaal]] at the central bus station in '''Enschede'''. The price is 2,50 Euro.
Get out of the bus at "Hanzepoort", cross the street and go 50m to the right. There you can stand on the ramp up to the Dutch Highway [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] (German [[A30 (Germany)|A30]]) to [[Bad Bentheim]] / [[Osnabrück]]. Average waiting time is 7min7 minutes, most people go to [[Germany]], mostly to [[Nordhorn]] or [[Bad Bentheim]] near the border. This ramp is the 2nd last before the German border, so try to get to the parking area at the border, there you can find trucks that are going more east to [[Osnabrück]], [[Hannover]] or [[Berlin]]. If you like going faster, check out the article for the [[A30 (Germany)|A30]], maybe you better can catch a ride towards the ramp Nordhorn/Bentheim and from there get faster eastwards.
;Option 2 via [[Gronau]] and towards [[Münster]]For hitchhiking towards [[Münster]] take bus #1 (costs EUR 1,20) towards ''Wesselerbrink'' and get out at ''TC Tubantia''. There you can already see the highway in front of you, just walk the 500 meter meters up to the ramp. At this spot the highway [[A35 (Netherlands)|A35]] begins. For hitchhiking towards [[Gronau]] use the space in front of the traffic lights or walk a bit down the ramp.
===West towards [[Hengelo]], [[Apeldoorn]], [[Utrecht]], [[Amsterdam]]===To get on the [[A35 (Netherlands)|A35]] you just have to go to the Zuiderval. Take bus #2 ''Helmerhoek'' and get out at the ''P+R Zuiderval'' and walk to the higway (100 mmeters). There are traffic lights and enough space for cars to stop. Use a sign with ''Deventer'' and get a lift to the gas station before Deventer.

===All other directions===
If you are at the University of Twente, try this: Go to the entry of the University, go the "Auke Vleerstraat" straightforward for around 1km (crossing 2 traffic circles, 2 bridges). After the second bridge you'll find traffic lights. Directly behind these traffic lights is a bus bay where you can stand perfectly to show all coming cars that you need a lift up on to the A35 to the east (Gronau ([[Germany]]) or to the west to [[Hengelo]] (Highway A1).

There's much green on the campus, only thing will be geese that are hanging around there . ;) Otherwise, you also can contact [[User:platschi|platschi]] via [http://www.couchsurfing.com / couchsurfing] or [http://www.bewelcome.org / bewelcome]. Same username there. Might always have some place for hitchhikers to crash.
