If you're going to maribor like me, dont be picky, take the first car even if Its going to zagreb centre, And Hop on a train direction zabok, exit at kupljenovo station and walk around 30 minutes to the gas station. I was picky And wanted to go straight to slovenia, but all Cars went to zagreb.

Croatians dont take hitchikers. Still i thing this place Is better than the bus station uphill, if you go in direction zagreb.

Worth to go there. I was going to exit ramp with sign Zagreb and rider approached me before I started to hike.
You can get there from Cesta Dveh Cesarjev, then go down to the bushes between golf field and highway. There is a small path. Go with the highway fence to the metal gate. Gate is closed but just next to it there is a hole in the fence.

Most traffic goes to Lublana. I had a sign with Zagreb on, but it can be really difficult to get someone further than LJ.

I was dropped off here by a local, but had to wait here quite some while before someone picked me up. Spot itself isn’t bad, people can see you and your sign and have a place where to stop before and after the toll. I had a sign Split/Zagreb. Eventually an American couple stopped and they were driving to Ljubljana!!!

Takes some time to get a ride. Probably because of the no Autostop sign. People only go in the direction of Zagreb m. If you wanna go south, you should take a ride to dobra gas station. You can get to the other side of the highway via a tunnel.

2 guys with backpacks, we tried the hitchhike spot from the guy from 2013 and it still kinda works. High traffic, drivers have nice place to stop, but very very low success rate. Waited 135 minutes until we got a ride to Zagreb. Got 2 signs: "Zagreb" and "highway".
Got there by bus from Zadar from the main bus station. It was bus number 4 but these things change over time. Just get to the main bus station and I strongly believe you will manage.
Long wait but got all the way to Zagreb

It’s a very good spot! The ferry goes every 30 min and you can get on for free as a passenger. You can try ask cars before they go on the ferry, but it’s quite busy and people might not be in the headspace for it, since they are focused on following instructions to get on. Rather go on the ferry and ask people there or make a sign and stand there while people get on. I personally looked for german license plates first and asked them (my final goal was germany), but when they didn’t take me in, I pulled out my sign. One of the cars that I asked took me in after all, when they saw that zagreb would be ok as well, they weren’t sure if they’d drive all the way to germany because of their kid. I hitchhiked in the morning around 10 am and a they took me all the way to Zagreb, which is great.

Good Spot to go to Croatia but you need some time, I stood at the exit with a sign Zagreb Lubljana, possible to sleep near the River

Mostly all local plates and some to Zagreb. Most people didn’t look at me, tough crowd. Little shade place to protect yourself from the sun. After two hours I just walked to the station and got a bus.

Stood here and further down at the gas station for about an hour. Was about to leave till a guy going to Zagreb took me to the last gas station before the Austrian border.

Great stop to hitchhike. There is a toll gate and gas station. Not much traffic. Fontunately, the second car stopped and we went directly to Zagreb.

We got dropped off here at around 10pm and said "fuck it we ball", stood in the middle of the road with thumbs up once every 5mins when a car passed. Somehow we scored a ride to Gyor, which was our direction, but if you're going to Hungary and by some miracle end up here, best of luck. most drivers are either going to Zagreb or alomg the border towards Serbia. the hungarian cars thend to be families of 4. Also, illegal. Have fun ;)

Not much traffic to Croatia, many full cars and families, most going North East, finally got a Swedish couple to take three of us Southish, where I got out at Novo Mesto to try my luck again for Zagreb.

Bus stop doesn’t exist anymore, trying to get to Zagreb in the late afternoon. Got a lift after a long time in the sun by the roundavout to the middle of the highway near krsko by a nice old lady who says she will come back in two hours if no one picks me up.

We were waiting for about 40 minutes with “Zadar/Zagreb” sign and people didn’t stop. A girl picked us up and gave us a ride to the highway but told us that usually cars don’t stop there
