Hitching out

All directions

Coordinates: 52.9530, 5.9432 Google OSM Going north, east and west.
Coordinates: 52.9522, 5.9410 Google OSM Going south.
The on-ramp Heerenveen on the A 32 which you get to if you follow the N 924/Rottumerweg is the easiest place for cars to stop. Follow the road under the highway to get to the northbound side. When at the northbound onramp use a sign because a few km after this on-ramp is a highway junction.

The other on-ramp at Heerenveen-Centrum is not good at all, because traffic is slightly fast there and has no place to stop.

Accommodation and Sleep

Right next to the highway on the eastern side is a forest called Oranjewoud. You might find a good spot to pitch your tent here without being seen.
