't Lonnekermeer is a service station along the Dutch motorway A1.

This is the last service station before the German border, making it the perfect place to hitch long rides into Germany and even Poland. Be aware that if you want to continue on the German A2 there is no service station until Gronegau Süd near Melle, about 130km away.

Access

There are multiple possibilities to get to this service station.

Hitching

From Hengelo, take bus 8 or 11 to stop Kleine Driene and walk around 800m north-east to exit 31 Hengelo-Noord. The service station is located between this and the next exit, so every car turning onto the motorway here will pass the service station. Make sure to signal that you just need a short ride.

By foot

  • Option 1:

Again take bus 8 or 11, but now to stop Bovenhoek. Walk along the Noordelijke Esweg in south-eastern direction. Turn left at the roundabout and right at the big crossing. Cross the highway on the overpass and climb down towards the service station.

  • Option 2:

With bus 8 or 11, get out at stop Bruninkshoek (one before Bovenhoek). Walk back the road you came from and turn left onto Hasselerbaan. Go straight on the crossing onto the little parallel road called Pallastweg. Follow this all the way until the big hill pops up. Walk either left or right around it, but don't go over it as you will eventually get stuck in brambles and thorns.
