Big gas station, lot of cars and trucks, but lot of cars were full or drove to their summer cottage. However it's possible to get a ride to Kuopio.rating: 5/5, wait: 25 min, ride: 101 km ↗

There are always nice bus stops on the road. Used this one to kuopio. So go on the road (if it's no highway) and use your thumb. It works better than cardboard. And don't wait on rest places―Anonymous, June 2016

Towards Kuopio and Varkaus. There is good spot to hitch-hike after traffic lights. It is easy to get drive farther from the city. Really near by the spot is shopping center, and that's why there is lots of cars going by.―Anonymous, June 2013

Quite good, tho it's a little harder to go to Lahti than Kuopio, because you'll either lose some trafic if you go on the bus stop (or have to take the 644 road which may become a trap), or put yourself on a spot a bit further the roundabout, where cars have a bit less space.―EggDestroyer, September 2011

It is known that Finland isn't the best country for hitchhiking but in our case we had to wait about 20 min to get a ride all the way to Kuopio. Nice spot with room for drivers to pull over. And there is a nice little park to have a rest or chillout.―Anonymous, April 2011

To Kuopio, Mikkeli and Lahti. First you should take ride to the ABC in Vaajakoski. You can use sign "ABC" (people will understand). From ABC it's very easy to continue both (Lahti/Kuopio) directions.rating: 4/5
