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.

had a sign with direction Linz, got a ride to Salzburg from a chill Romanian guy returning from his friend in Czechia

it's SUPER great for germany(Passau). not my first time here. but bad for salzburg/graz :( got taken by a truck driver heading to France, decided to change gas stations.

kinda sketch and no space to pull over but two cars did just stop on the road immediately so... success? got a lift 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.

You definitely got to approach people, we stood at an intersection and got some reactions but no one stopped. The third person we asked took us close to Salzburg. It was a lovely ride.

I tried to Graz. After 5 hours I gave up. I asked many people's and also hittchike but simply- 99% cars go to Salzburg/Innsbruck/Passau.

Great if you're going to Austria (either Innsbruck or Salzburg), many different gas station options to ask around

Good if you're going to Munich or Nürnberg. We first tried to get to Regensburg but no luck so eventually we settled on Munich. If you're going to Austria like us, it might be easier to get through Munich and Salzburg than to try and cut across

Terrible, he were here for more than 3h. I was starting to loose all faith in humanity. If you need to stop in Salzburg, tell your ride to drop you somewhere else

Got a ride to Salzburg after two hours...but it was a public holiday in Germany so a lot of families with no room in cars.

At this moment gas station is under rebuilding and the place is almost dead. Only few cars stopped and it can be challenging to get something. I got extremely lucky with the driver, who used every possible stop on the highway to smoke a cigarette. Took me to Salzburg. When gas station will be finished and open it should be good.

Probably better to ask around, we stood with a sign, but we cought a quick ride to salzburg even late at night.

The gas stations were frequently visited but most people went to Berchtesgarden or Salzburg but we wanted to go to St Johann.

Waited for ride to Salzburg with sign, didn’t have to wait long, the cars go quite slow here. There’s also a supermarket on the other side of the road

Good petrol station, nice family took us to Salzburg
