Hitchhiking out

West towards Eindhoven, Antwerpen

Coordinates: 51.3962, 6.1613 ^Google OSM
From the station, take bus #6 to Sint Urbanusweg. Walk into Sint Urbanusweg until you reach a bridge. Turn left behind the bridge, there is a petrol station on the motorway. The bus ticket is EUR 1,20. Walking the whole way is about 3km.

South towards Mönchengladbach, Cologne

Coordinates: 51.3435, 6.1926 ^Google OSM
The A 61 starts right at the border at a big roundabout. There is a petrol station and a toll boot, so it's probably the best place to get a ride here. Diesel is much cheaper in the Netherlands than in Germany, so you will find a lot of Germans at petrol stations close to the border.
