== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out ==

If you want to go towards the service station '' 't [[Het Lonnekermeer]]'' for long hitches into [[Germany]], get yourself towards the Deurningerstraat until end of town. Some 50m behind the last traffic light you'll have some space for cars to stop, pretty awesome spot for hitches towards Oldenzaal. For the service station, hitchhike for around 5-6 km and get out just behind the railway crossing. Walk up the bridge and at its left you can walk down towards the motorway and the petrol station.

; * Option 1 : along the motorway towards [[Osnabrück]]There is an [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] on-ramp in [[Oldenzaal]]-Zuid. This is around 6 km north of Enschede. You can get there by taking the bus, line #60 or #62 towards Oldenzaal/Denekamp from the central bus station in Enschede. From April 1, 2011, prices get up from 2,50 to 5,50 Euro for this way, so considering walking & hitchhiking to the ramp from Enschede might be an option. You might pay less when stating to the bus driver you get out at ''Hanzepoort'', sometimes it worked paying less than the actual zone charge.

Get out of the bus at ''Hanzepoort'', cross the street and walk 50m to the right. There you can stand along the [[hard shoulder]] at the [[on-ramp]] up to the Dutch motorway is an [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] (German on-ramp in [[A30 (Germany)|A30Oldenzaal]]) towards [[Bad Bentheim]] / Osnabrück-Zuid. Average waiting time This is 7 minutes, most people go to Germanyaround 6 km north of Enschede. You can get there by taking the bus, mostly to [[Nordhorn]] line #60 or Bad Bentheim near #62 towards Oldenzaal/Denekamp from the bordercentral bus station in Enschede. This ramp Get out at bus stop ''Hanzepoort''. Price is the 2nd last before the German border5.50 Euro (Nov 2011), try to get another option is to the parking area at the border, there you can find trucks that might go more east towards Osnabrückonly until bus stop Kotkampweg (1, [[Hannover]] 50 Euro) (or [[Berlin]]. If you like going faster, check out walk there) and hitch at the article for the A30, maybe it's better to catch a ride bus stop or traffic light towards the onOldenzaal-ramp Nordhorn/Bentheim and from there getting a ride eastwards much fasterHanzepoort.

; At bus stop ''Hanzepoort'', cross the street and walk 50m to the right. There you can stand along the [[shoulder|hard shoulder]] at the [[on-ramp]] up to the Dutch motorway [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] (German [[A30 (Germany)|A30]]) towards [[Bad Bentheim]] / Osnabrück. Average waiting time is 7 minutes, most people go to Germany, mostly to [[Nordhorn]] or Bad Bentheim near the border. This ramp is the 2nd last before the German border, try to get to the parking area at the border, there you can find trucks that might go up to [[Poland]] and further beyond. If you like going faster, check out the article for the A30, it's practically better to catch a car towards the on-ramp Nordhorn/Bentheim and from there getting rides eastwards much faster. This is recommended for experienced on-ramp hitchhikers. * Option 2 : via [[Gronau]] and towards [[Münster]]For hitchhiking towards Münster take bus #1 (costs EUR 2,20) towards ''Wesselerbrink'', #2 to ''Helmerhoek'', #73 to ''Winterswijk'', or #74 to '' Doetinchem'' and get out at ''TC TubantiaP+R Zuiderval''. There you can already see the motorway in front of you, just walk the 500 150 meters up to the ramp. Additional, you can also take line #2, for this see the spot below. At this spot the motorway [[A35 (Netherlands)|A35]] begins. For hitchhiking towards Gronau use the space in front of the traffic lights or walk a bit down the ramp. * Option 3: see section above, the petrol station north of Enschede works well to go towards Germany.

* 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 (100 150 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. Use a sign with ''Deventer'' and try to get a lift to the petrol station before Deventer. * Option 2: Take bus #1 towards ''Universiteit'' and get out at ''Jupiterstraat''. 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]]

If you are at the University of Twente, try this: Go to the entry of the University, go walk the "Auke Vleerstraat" straightforward for around one kilometer (crossing two traffic circles, two bridges). After to the second bridge you'll find intersection with traffic lights. Directly and hitchhike just behind these traffic lights is a bus it at the information bay where you can stand perfectly to show all coming cars that you need a lift up on to . Great spot for rides into the A35 to the east Netherlands, towards Germany (Gronau ([[Germany]]Münster) , within Enschede or to Haaksbergen, though waiting times can differ during the west to [[Hengelo]] (motorway A1)day. Only problem This is that you need a direct lift onto actually the motorway, same spot as before the approach road towards the motorway is nearly impossible to hitch#Option 2 above here.

 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. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
