Great to go towards Vienna or Linz even later in the evening. If you're going south (Ljubjana for example), DO NOT stop here, we met people trying and being stranded there for 5h+

Waited 10 min for a ride to Linz. Thanks Alma and Emina. Use a sign it's better

Good Position for Vienna and St. Pölten /Linz. Man cars pass for the perfect ride.

good spot to hitch a ride to linz/wien. mcdonald’s next door. better than trying to get to the ENI station down on A1 m, there’s no back road to it

On paper it looked like a perfect spot to go to Linz. But only old cuples and familys stop there. When sun sat, one driver saw me shivering and took pity on me. The drive was 2h long.

I saw a lot of bad reviews for the gas station. So i went to this traffic light and after 5 minutes somebody took me to Linz center. It is easier to hitchhike from the other side of Linz to go to Czech.

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.

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.

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 motorway

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 Graz

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 again

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.

I was standing with the Linz sign and catch a car in 20 minutes. It seems to he a good place but there is not that much place for cars to stop

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.
