== Hitchhiking out ==
Motorway [[A28 (Netherlands)|A28]] runs right through town. It has four ramps in Zwolle, of which two are useful for hitching; '''19''' and '''20'''. Use ramp 19 (Zwolle-centrum) for both north and southbound hitchhiking; and ramp 20 (Zwolle-noord) for northbound hitchhiking.  === North towards [[Leeuwarden]], [[Groningen]] === On-ramp '''19''' is within walking distance (~1km) of the city centre. Get to the ''Pannekoekendijk'' and walk in northern direction until the roundabout. Turn left here on the ''Burgemeester Roelenweg''. After 400m the on-ramp is on your right. It has a nice hard shoulder with plenty of space for cars to stop. On-ramp '''20''' is just as good as '''19''', but has less traffic and is further away from the city centre. If you need to go towards Leeuwarden, try to get a ride at least to [[Meppel]] on the [[A32 (Netherlands)|A32]]. On the other hand, if you Groningen is your destination, try to get a ride to [[Hoogeveen]]. Otherwise, get out at the service station ''Dekkersland'' and change cars. === South towards [[Amersfoort]], [[Utrecht]] or [[Apeldoorn]], [[Arnhem]] === Walk to on-ramp '''19''' via ''Pannekoekendijk'' and then ''Katerdijk'' in western direction. Go under the overpass and find the on-ramp on your left side. The highway splits very soon after this on-ramp, so make sure to get a ride in the good direction. The '''A28''' takes you towards Amersfoort, Utrecht and [[Amsterdam]], the [[A50 (Netherlands)|A50]] to Apeldoorn and Arnhem. === South towards [[Deventer]] === There are two options to get to Deventer, based on the part of the city you're in. If you're close to the city centre, follow the advise above regarding direction ''Apeldoorn'', and ask to be dropped off at exit '''26''' (Vaassen). From here you can hitchhike through the countryside in eastern direction on a straightforward route to Deventer. If you are more in the south-east of the city, get to the roundabout on the '''N337''' just after the crossing of the ''IJsselallee'' and ''Oldeneelallee''. An alternative if you don't mind walking is getting to the crossing of the N337 and the ''Hollewandsweg'' at very south-eastern part of the city. === South-east towards [[Almelo]], [[Enschede]] and [[Germany]] === If you're heading to Twente or Germany, head down to one of the many bus stops on the Ceintuurbaan. '''Kuyerhuislaan''' seems to be the most suitable one because of its location (best compromise between distance from city centre and amount of local traffic), but feel free to try '''Meppelerstraatweg''' or the abandoned one next to the Isala hospital if you don't feel like walking that far or '''De Marslanden''' if you want to filter out local traffic. A shared trait of all of the above spots is that the cars might be going too fast to stop for you, but, with a little bit of luck, you should be able to get a ride to the south-east within no time. === Other useful info === Ramp 21 ([[Ommen]]) is inconviniently inconveniently located in an industrial estate on the north side of town, but does get a fair amount of traffic from the surrounding towns, and ramp 18 (Zwolle-zuid) is basically just a big roundabout with no good place to stop, at least not there where the traffic isn't going at least 80 km/h.The on-ramp in the direction of Leeuwarden does have a hard shoulder, but traffic is still fast here so it might be hard to stop cars. == Sleeping == South of the city centre is a park called ''Het Engelse Werk'' / ''Spoolderbos''. There are some quiet places here where you can pitch a tent. To get there follow the ''Nieuwe Veerallee'' and cross under the N337 through the pedestrian/cyclist tunnel. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
