Hitchhiking out
East towards Enschede, Osnabrück, Berlin, as well as west towards Apeldoorn and Amsterdam (A1)
Get bus 56 to Borculo or 81 to Zutphen, and get out at bus stop carpoolplaats A1 (about a 10 minute ride). Eastbound lane starts south of the viaduct, westbound lane is north. Lots of space to stop. In my opinion, better than some official hitchhiking places.
- Streetview of the eastbound on-ramp.
North towards Zwolle (N337)
Take bus 2 or 3 and ride it all the way till the end, busstop Platvoet. Walk around 100m in western direction to the roundabout and turn right. The place to stand is where the parallel road and main road connect, just after the roundabout and literally opposite restaurant De Zomertuin.
South towards Zutphen
1) Take bus 56 (Zutphen) or 81 (Borculo) and get off at Het Pessink. Hitch from the bus stop on the N348. Traffic can be quite fast here, not a very good place.
2) The alternative, more fun route. From the city center, walk across the Wilhelminabrug, the big bridge over the river. Continue walking untill the crossing of the N344 and N790. Hitch right from the beginning of the N790. Every village you'll pass on the way will have good spots to hitchhike from, where traffic is slow. From Gietelo you won't be following the N790 anymore, but instead the N345.
