The above station is no longer direct from Groningen central. You must take bus 5 to the end then walk 16 mins.[[User:Tzuiop9c|Tzuiop]]: On a Wednesday (I stood there from 11-12.00 and 16-1800) there 18.00. There were very very few cars going to Germany. I suspect this will be different on the weekends. I could not find a ride further than the border or Leer.

==== Spot 2: Europaweg x Damsterdiep ====
Some people prefer to start hitching already on the other side of the bridge, just after the crossing Europaweg/Damsterdiep. Immediately after the crossing is an unused busstop with a Liftershalte sign. Cars can see you while they wait, though the cars in the back maybe less so. People at Spots 1 & 2 can, however, still drive towards the West or South.

==== Spot 2: Europaweg x Bergenweg====
''[[User:Koendev|Koen]] decided to stand at the on-ramp of the N7 at the [http://goo.gl/maps/NwoRf crossing of the '''Europaweg''' and '''Bergenweg''']. Cars have some place to stop there and most go towards the east too. He got a ride in 15min.'' I also got a ride in this location, within 30 minutes. Make sure to stand on the east side of Europaweg. There is a small gravel turnout right off of Europaweg on Bergenweg where it is easy for people to stop.
''[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] hitched at the busstop on the A28 access lane 39 "Groningen-Zuid" with a sign "A7 -->". This access lane is a 7 minutes busride away from Groningen central station frequented 10(+)x/hour (cost EUR 1,30), the busstop is called Van Ketwich Verschuurbrug, or a 2.5 km walk from the central station or the center.
==== By bus to Spot 6: Esso Kolham, in Scharmer (1h.) ====There is a petrol station on the highway about 10km out of town which is easily accessible by bus (cost EUR 3,50). Take line 78 (1x/hour) from Groningen central e.g. Line 5 until the final station heading to Appingedam and get of at the stop Scharmer, Hoofdweg 15Goldbergweg. From there walk in the direction in which the bus is going and take the first road on the right to cross the highway. You can see the petrol station from the bridge. After the bridge turn right again and walk all the way until the end of the road. Almost you are almost past the petrol station there . There is a small bridge consisting of roofing material made for the employees of the petrol station to cross the water.
