THIS IS THE RIGHT SHIPKA PARKING SPOT I missed click the parking spot We were a couple hitchhiking from the Buzludzha Monument. We were just eating when the first car passed by, so I quickly waved — and they actually stopped and took us all the way to Stara Zagora. There’s a big parking area where people can easily stop if they want, and most cars are heading towards Shipka or Kazanlak.

Quite a good spot just before the gas station, catch local and transit traffic direction Stara Zagora or Burgas, easy to get direct ride to Stara Zagora

You can also catch a bus from VT to get here easily, it costs 70 stotinki I believe. Hitching with no sign got me picked up to Stara Zagora in 30 minutes.

Two major trans-country roads join here and there's good traffic towards the Black Sea (Burgas, Nesebar, Sunny Beach) and to major towns in South Bulgaria (Sliven, Stara Zagora).

Perfect place. Direction Stara Zagora, Burgas, Varna, Romania. There is a gas station. All buses to Dimitrovgrad can leave you here, just ask the driver.
