This is recommended for experienced on-ramp hitchhikers.

=== West towards [[Hengelo]], [[Apeldoorn]], [[Utrecht]], [[Amsterdam]] ===* Option 1: To get on the [[A35 (Netherlands)|A35]] you just have to go to the Zuiderval. Take bus #2 towards ''Helmerhoek'' and get out at the ''P+R Zuiderval'' and walk to the higway (150 meters). You can also take line #1; for this see the spot for direction Münster. Also lines #73 and #74 take you there as written above. There are traffic lights and enough space for cars to stop.

Walk 200m up towards the intersection and walk left. 20m behind the roundabout you'll find an information bay which is perfect for hitchhiking rides towards [[Germany]] or all into the [[Netherlands]] (Haaksbergen, Deventer, Utrecht, etc.). It might be that rides bring you only about 3 km further to the beginning of the bypass that leads to the A35. From there, it's a 5 minute walk along the bypass towards the on-ramp of the highway either going deeper into Holland (Hengelo, Deventer) or towards Münster in Germany. The on-ramp is close to the Grolsch beer brewery, though it is not allowed to walk or hitchhike near the ramp to the highway. Though both these options will work when you're patient enough, it might be wiser to take the bus to Hengelo and try there near the Gas station located just 400 metres before the ramp to the highway. For more on this option: see [[Hengelo]] [[File:Oldenzaal_ramp.jpg|thumb|250px|left|On-ramp [[Oldenzaal]]-Zuid towards [[Germany]].]] === All other directions ===If you are at the University of Twente, try this: Go to the entry of the University, walk the "Auke Vleerstraat" to the second intersection with traffic lights and hitchhike just behind it at the information bay. Great spot for rides into the Netherlands, towards Germany (Münster), within Enschede or Haaksbergen, though waiting times can differ during the day. This is actually the same spot as #Option 2 above here. == Sleeping ==It's possible to camp somewhere on the University campus, if you ask the security guys at the campus entry kindly to put your tent on a hidden spot somewhere between the trees. There's much green on the campus, only thing will be geese that are hanging around there. ;) There's also a campsite between [[Hengelo]] and '''Enschede''', not far from the University. Of course there are also lots of students with couches you could sleep on. {{IsIn|Overijssel}} [[Category:Overijssel]][[Category:NetherlandsRoute Amsterdam - Berlin]] [[de:Enschede]]
