First, we tried a sign saying MUNICH, after two hours it started raining and still nothing. Then we tried a sign with LINZ, again two hours and nothing. Finally, we tried just VIENNA with a thumbs up—still nothing. In the end, we took a RegioJet bus to Vienna and from there we hitchhiked overnight to Munich.For us, it was a very bad spot, but give it a try and see for yourself :)

Had Linz on my sign and got told that nobody would go that direction. After 15 minutes we got a ride to St. Pölten. Lots of place to stop and much traffic.rating: 4/5, wait: 15 min, ride: 72 km ←

Lots of cars, in multiple directions (Sopron, Wien, Linz). Didn't have to aks around, got picked up quickly without a sign. No shade is hard in the summer.rating: 4/5, wait: 15 min 👍, ride: 276 km ←

mostly cars going to vienna(or direction) at the gas station nearby but some traffic going west through the roundabout onto a1, lot of linz licence plates, not a lot of space to pull over but cars are going slow and will pull over there, and is legal to hitch here since it's not on the motorwayrating: 4/5, wait: 5 min 🪧, ride: 99 km ←

we were very lucky, because when we were unloading the stuff from the previous car, people saw the sign I was holding and just honked and stopped right next to it, the sign said Linz, Graz and it ended right in Grazrating: 5/5, wait: 1 min 🪧, ride: 238 km ↘

McDonald's being there is great in the winter with bathrooms and warmth. Cars are slow after traffic lights but not much space to pull over. Eventually got a ride to Munich with a sign but it seemed more people were going Linz direction. Wouldn't wait here in the winter againrating: 2/5, wait: 240 min, ride: 146 km ←

Most cars going to Villach (and Balkans), wouldn't recommend for direction Linz. Luckily a savior found us, even at night in the rain, asking us directly in our language where we were going, and took us all the way.rating: 3/5, wait: 40 min, ride: 145 km ↗

Amazing Spot, especially if you’re trying to get to Linz.It‘s directly after a roundabout so cars are driving slow and can see you well. Many cars go towards Linz. I‘d recommend trying to get a ride directly to Linz as it might be hard to get another ride along the road.
I‘m hitchhiking to Linz quite a lot and people stop for me within 5-15 minutes usually.

spent a lovely night in the Shell after not managing to get a lift out. However, we chanced the Tesla superchargers and got a lift from the first guy we met! Wouldn't recommend this spot as a lot of traffic was going to Linz - instead of back on the motorway.rating: 1/5, wait: 10 min 💬, ride: 77 km →

not so bad, kind of a game of chance with the traffic lights. waited here with a sign that said salzburg / linz and finally a guy picked me up and drive me just to the closest gas station on the a9 where i then caught a ride with a truck to wels. not the worst, not the best. was thinking of trying the gas station about a kilometer closer to graz, could be better there to ask around.rating: 3/5, wait: 45 min 🪧, ride: 185 km ↖

Took a long time, but eventually someone picked us up. We are going to Salzburg, but we’re fine with going to Linz first.rating: 4/5, wait: 120 min 🪧, ride: 183 km ←

We got a direct ride to Budapest after around 20 minutes. There were many peoples at the gas refill or at the parking. Great spot to continue in direction of Passau, Linz, Wien and Budapest I would say.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min 💬+🪧, ride: 626 km →

Waited there for some hours. Nobody stopped to pick me up. Had a sign saying A1 --> Linz, Wien. Spot should theoretically be alright as there is enough place for cars to stop. I ended up taking the train to Vienna.rating: 2/5
