Hitching 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 both the Wageningen ramps on motorway A12 when heading west to (Utrecht) and further, and motorway A50 for the south (Nijmegen, 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.
