We were trying to get out of Salzburg on the A10 to Villach. There is a lot of traffic going to the A10. We waited for 5 min before somebody took us:). Great spot but maybe we were just Lucky.

Dropped here because our ride went to Innsbruck and we wanted to go to Salzburg. Not great spot but eventually we got away.

There were lots of cars with many locals coming from Innsbruck because of the shopping center, but almost nobody was driving towards Salzburg, so I had to wait a long time.

On the way to Salzburg, I was super lucky. The first car driver picked me up, and there were many truck drivers at that spot.

Good for Salzburg, possibly for Linz. Total shitty for Graz! Lot of cars with families... Better to go somewhere else.

A Hungarian couple took us to Salzburg after asking them at the gas station.

Horrible for getting in direction to Salzburg, majority goes to Germany, accept everyone that could take u a bit farther in direction of Salzburg, then it should be easier. Was changing positions between standing at the exit to the highway and asking at the station, asking is probably better.

We had a Wien sign and someone stoped to bring us to the gas station 45min in Salzburg direction. Lot of people are local so you need luck or you will have to wait.

The spot is perfekt. The cars can see you perfectly and there is enough space for them to stop. Startet there on my way to Salzburg and took me only 3 cars and 3 hours to get there.

This spot isn't really best because of the nearby highway, so you can only stop cars coming from the gas station. Still, it's probably the best spot you can choose in the area. We wanted to head down toward Vienna/Graz, but an older French couple stopped on their way to Salzburg.

Stood here on a sunday morning in May (23M) with a sign saying "SALZB." Not a lot of cars coming into the gas station but in 25 min I still got picked up by a hungarian dude going all the way to Bregenz via Salzburg and München.

Stood here on a sunday morning in May (23M) with a sign saying "SALZB." traffic was light but in 7min a nice lady gave me a ride toward a gas station in Radstadt next to the main road toward Salzburg, which I think was a slightly better spot. Overall not a bad spot

Awesome spot... BUT
First of all, it's def the best spot on this Reststation i you don't want to ask around (for asking around it's better to go closer to Landzeit). Best for thumbing the ride because here the two roads meet and go to the highway, both from rest station and the local road. It's easy to switch between these two, as from both ways there is reasonable amount of traffic.
During my 1h 40mins of wait :') about 10 cars stopped, most of them going to Germany (via Passau) or just in the close area (Wels, Sattledt, etc.). I was heading to Salzburg and getting this direction was a bit challenging, but not impossible! (I even sadly rejected one car going to Gmunden, as I could'nt properly understand the guy's German accent, realised way too late that he could have taken me)

I waited only 6 minutes (solo guy, no sign, Saturday morning) and during that time 2 cars stopped. I would call that a success :D I was going to Salzburg direction. It's better to head just to Linz as there is a great hitchspot in Ansfelden, where I continued. Many cars continue from Linz to Germany (via Passau), that's why I think it's a bit more complicated to seek for direct ride to Salzburg from here.

We were sleepeng near the gas station and started HH in the morning (8am) it wasn't that busy here at that. We were asking around and partly standing with a sign and then after two hours nice guy took us all the way to Salzburg.
