Schüttorf is a small city in the outer South West of the German federal state Niedersachsen.
It's has a quite nice city center and it's nearby Bad Bentheim, where you can find the Burg Bentheim (castle). The city is located at the highways A30 and A31, which could be a good spot for hitching all directions into Germany and the Netherlands.
The city is also popular for the Index discotheque.
Hitching Out
West towards Bad Bentheim
From the train station, walk west for around 500 meter. Then you're already at the end of the city. Try to wave your thumb there. If you are too lazy to walk to the end of town, you can also give it a try directly at the train station. Walk down the 20m to the road, there you find a big bus bay where you can try to hitch a ride. Some traffic might go only some meters, so best is to make a sign saying Bad Bentheim.
Trivia
Two Algerians, who gave Platschi a ride in November 2008, opened a new pizza restaurant the same day in Schüttorf. It's called Annaba, named after the 4th largest city in Algeria. Give them a visit if you might travel through this town once in a lifetime.
