Well… this is not a “jackpot” spot. It was a rainy Friday afternoon, traffic was agonizingly low. People are nice here, but it took me a while to find a ride to the promised land of Belgrade. At some point I tried hitching right on the highway, which the gas station security guard politely told me not to do. Finally, as I was beginning to scout out locations for a ditch to sleep in, I was picked up at the gas station by a very friendly guy going to Belgrade. Nice! This is indeed probably better than hitching directly from the border, and perhaps I was unlucky to wait so long. Just be patient I guess!

Lots of traffic and there is a drive-in coffee shop, place to pull over.
Little rain.
Alex, after he got his coffee, picked me up. He was on his way to work behind the galley on the ferry.
Perfect ride, very nice dude, telling me about his dreams of making movies and leaving the state to travel as a vanlifer.
Sign said 'Ferry'.

Hitchhiked walking all the way from city center to here, no good place for cars to stop. Bad road.
Finally ended up here who looked like a golden place to hitch a ride...
After an hour here (2 hours including the walking part) I gave up and took a bus going to Duncan, hoping to be luckier there.
At least, my ride was free because I got a bus ticket from a local while I was walking through Nicol St, that was nice.

Nice spot, lot of traffic, helpful people. A guy from Monaco took us really quickly to another gas station before Aix-en-Provence, close to Marseille.

Not so busy, we tried to ask people for Nice / Marseille direction. A Swiss older couple on Tesla took us before Nice, above Monaco. From there it was easier because we were finally in France. Good luck.

Put yourself at the roundabout entrance, where all the cars come. They all mostly come from one exit and go toward one exit. Nice stop to reach le Cardo tram station, and then after hitchhike again to reach Rennes (for instance).

nice spot for riding north from Brno. You can be here by bus in 15 minuts. Enough place to stop and cars have to slow down

We got here on Friday evening at 18:30. There were not so many cars but most people were very nice and either didn’t have the space or went somewhere else. We waited until 22:30 and then stayed the night at the entrance of the hotel on the other side. When we got back in the morning around 6, Not even 2 minutes after getting there, a nice lady in a van picked us up from the highway. So the earlier you get there the better your chances are.

I asked people who came out of the restaurant. The first people I asked would have taken me to Stuttgart but I declined. Around the 10th person I asked took me to Karlsruhe. They were really suspicious and didn’t quite understand why I was hitchhiking but it was a very nice ride :)

You're probably not going to get a ride all the way to where you want to go but there is a nice traffic light with a countdown so you just go in the middle of the road asking everyone and they'll bring you somewhere. I took 3 rides to get to the border to Serbia, crossed on foot and got to Pirot then bus to Nis cause you're not going anywhere if you get stuck in Pirot.

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.

It’s really a bad place with only like 10 trucks - I, solo female, started feeling unsafe quickly but I got extremely lucky and found two very nice truck drivers who offered me food and coffee and after waiting with them until their break was over (4 hours😭) because no one else would take me / my motivation to ask truck drivers in the rain was not so high either they took me to orleans. But on the positive side it’s walkable distance to some small city so you’re not completely lost in the wild as I felt at first.

Walked 10 minutes out of town to the last crossing to get a car who went to Tuchengzi. There's a huge temple there. Then i took the ubike and crossed the beautiful national park, and arrive to the Anping old town touristic area. Nice plan.

Got picked up by a nice taxi driver returning to Ocaña after 4 minutes. Far better spot than in the city. Worth the bus ride.

Not so many cars, but high possibility they go to Ljubljana or that direction. We wrote a sign “LJ”. Be careful, in Slovenia the license plates are not always as they are. Nice and helpful people around.

Not a bad spot, I asked around and found a guy going to Sibiu. It was kinda funny because he spoke no languages I speak, and it was truly a spiritual experience, but he was nice and got me to a place where I changed cars.

This is likely a good spot, during the working week, when the trucks are on the road, but during the weekend, it is mid. The traffic was relatively infrequent, and people told me they weren't going to Constanta; I'm not sure if I should believe them. I unpacked my lunch here and ate it in the shade, so it did not bother me that much. After that, a car picked me up, got me to Vama Veche, and helped me find a summer job, so that was nice.
