Hitchhiked from this spot twice. Last year we waited a few minutes and immidiately got a car to Vienna. This year we waited aprox. a half an hour and then a two cars stopped for us and offered us a lift to some Czech towns along the road which we declined. After one more hour we sucesfully got a lift to Vienna. In my opinion, and based on my local knowledge probably the best spot to hitchhike from Brno towards Vienna. The cars are going fast, but theres lots of them. I Recommend to hold a big directon sign.

The gas station also serves as a highway exit into the local industrial district and these cars generate most of the traffic, there aren't many cars actually going to Bratislava. That being said, this is most likely still the best place to get out of Vienna eastward.

The traffic was not terrible, but nothing too crazy either. Took me almost 4 hours to find a ride, but once I did, I got taken all the way to my target for the day (Vienna).

I don’t recomment this gas station, 90% of cars are going back to Vienna. We wanted go to Graz but end up in Hungary after 2 hours

It isnt so bad. I understand, that trying to get a ride to Vienna or Budapest from here might be quite a hard task. However, it was just fine for hitching out of Bratislava. We used sign Jarovce which worked great and got us to the OMV petrol station in Jarovce (on D2, southbound).

You need to be patient or have luck because this spot is very bad. We were catching for 3hours to Vienna and nothing Drivers faces were strange, cars drove so fast 15-18 hours

Very nice spot, great visibility, cars going slow, plenty of space for them to stop and there is quite a lot of traffic. Ideal for Vienna. In our experience this spot was also better than asking around the gas station as there isnt that many cars there.

Honestly shocked that others say that this spot is shit for Budapest and good for Vienna — I had exactly the opposite experience hitchhiking to Austria! Three hours waiting with a sign for ‘Graz’ (I was on my way to Zagreb), and the only offer in that direction that I got was to a town just over the border. Yet three people stopped to ask if going to Budapest would help, and two more people stopped to apologize that they were going to Budapest! I had banked on people going to Vienna making the connection that Vienna is on the way to Graz, but as hour three closed I made a sign for Vienna, and it was STILL another hour. There is no shade at the on-ramp and it gets hot. The traffic is a steady trickle but honestly not that much. I would try another spot next time, no question. Lots of space in the surrounding area to camp unseen, though, if this spot does serve you. I walked here from the end of the tram line at night to cross the highway with less traffic and start early (not that the early start helped!), and was at least well rested for the frustration.

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.

Not the best spot to get out of Vienna in my opinion, but it's okay. Drivers seem not to like to stop here.

We got here from Brno by a train and a bus. There weren’t that many cars stopping here and its gonna be hard to get a car to stop by standing with a sign next to the road (at least in this particular spot) as there’s a “no right turns” sign there (maybe because of the construction nearby, i’m not sure). But we managed to get a ride to Vienna from here so maybe we got a little lucky.

Lot of people willing to take us, but everyone was going to Vienna or Linz, we wanted to go to Graz or Slovenia or somwhere west. After 1.5h we got lift to Italy.
