With a sign to lublyana went to maribor. Possibility for Budapest and Romania randomly.

Had no luck going to Budapest. People didnt look very pleased and we gave up at some point. Very loud place due to the 8 lanes of traffic

Tried this spot to get a ride to Hungary as an alternative to the highway entry near the UFO bridge thing since that one wasn't working at all in direction Györ/Budapest (with big sign). Here was very dead however, even though cars have lots of space to stop. Probably lots of traffic moving only into the suburbs. Only use as a last resort. You can probably camp very well in the nearby forest though

Snow was falling and traffic was low, so got a bit nervy. Almost all trucks here, but I wasn’t getting much love from them. Finally saw a car pulling in to the vignette station, asked him in the parking lot for a ride to Budapest and he was happy to help me. Would recommend this approach over thumbing trucks. Not a bad spot and a fun walk to get there as well

I was in no rush, so take my waiting time with a grain of salt. This is a good place. A lot of trucks are going through this place, most of them heading toward Budapest, but after asking for a while, I got a ride directly to Romania.

Impossible to go to Budapest from here. Waited for 1 hr, and walked 5 km to the end of Fishamend, from where easily got to Budapest with 2 rides and 20 min total waiting time. Highly recommend doing the same and not wasting time near airport

I was lucky and got a ride almost straight away from a truck driver directly to Budapest but I also met another hitchhiker there that had been waiting for a ride towards Vienna since the evening before.

Probably the best spot in the Hague, got a ride to Utrecht fairly easily. Its an official Hitchhiking spot so there space to stop. Great start for our journey to Budapest

A German guy stopped and drove me all the way to the Serbian border. Probably better than anywhere inside Budapest proper

In direction Budapest it’s probably better than any bus stop around because you get all the traffic. There are two lanes so cars can stop kinda safely

There is good space, truck drivers can see u when stop for chech. Also there is space for car drivers to stop. 2 Ukrainian guys take me a ride to Budapest center. Trafic is not really insane.

Difficult to get a ride to Budapest. Probably best to look for Slovak plates and get a ride to “ASFINAG Raststation Göttlesbrunn”. There you’ll see more Hungarian plates.

Not a lot of room for cars to stop but traffic not intense so ok. Got a lift to Budapest after using the thumb for 3 minutes! Thanks Olshi. You can also try to get closer to the highway from here I guess. Cheers guy

Basic resting station, quite possible to get a long ride until budapest or further since most of the traffic east is on the road

there is no space for cars to stop for budapest direction. After 10 minutes i thought it is pointless to be here and walked to the gas station few km down the road.
