Hitching Out
East towards Münster
For hitchhiking eastwards there are different on-ramps to the B54. One option is the ramp in Gronau-Epe, but there's not much space to stop cars, you can just try to ask the drivers when they stop directly at the traffic light. When the cars go around the corner there is some space for a car to stop. Nevertheless platschi got a ride within 5 minutes here, but maybe that was only luck. Otherwise you can also try the ramp Gronau, but the ramps are build very narrow in general and mostly without any hard shoulder.
West towards Glanerbrug, Enschede
If you want to hitchhike towards the Netherlands, just get yourself to the Enscheder Strasse. This road has a broad hard shoulder where you can try hitchhiking. Towards Enschede it's 9 kilometer, so you can walk along the street and try to hitchhike. Take care, if you crossed the border, the street is becoming narrow, so stopping a car might be more difficult.
