It seems to be a pretty good place to hitchhiking in the direction of Budapest. There is a gas station, a large parking lot for which trucks and passenger cars stand. The station can be reached directly from the E60 road. We tried to catch transport from there to Budapest (from where we wanted to go further towards Belgrade) we were lucky and we came across a driver from Serbia who easily offered us a ride to Belgrade. In general, the traffic is quite high and a lot of locals and tourists. (There is also a Tesla charging station so maybe you can hitchhiking a Tesla)

We were walking this road because we had previously tried to catch a hitchhiking from the airport (it is very difficult to do it - no one wants to stop) so we wanted to walk to the entrance to the A4 road near the city of Fischamend when suddenly a lady stopped near us and asked if we were going towards Budapest and if we wanted to go with her because she was going to Gyor. He must see the box with the inscription "Budapest" that we had attached to the backpack. In general, it seems to us that when entering the A4 road, catching a hitchhiking should go smoothly - we were just very lucky

We were heading towards Budapest but few people were going towards Hungary. More people are heading to a nearby airport. So we caught a ride to the airport and from there we will try to catch a hitchhiking to Budapest.

A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

One of the best places to hitchhike near Katowice. We planned to go in the direction of Ostrava in the further Budapest and we managed to catch the driver to Vienna. Overall, a great place to catch a foot in the direction of Wroclaw, Berlin, Vienna. It is worth going to the parking lot and asking people where they are going - a lot of individual drivers and trucks.

We are heading towards Krakow -> Budapest. A lot of cars, good contact with people - they see the inscription, they react. Unfortunately, a lot of local drivers - you have to count on the fact that one of them will give you a drive to a better location - e.g. MOP Grójec. From where it should be easier to go to catch something to Krakow.

We got off here by accident. Our destination was Budapest. There was very little traffic, so after 40 minutes we decided to take the bus to Rabka Zabojnia.

Busy Petrol station, but no one was going towards Romania. Many people to Budapest though. We ended up going to the other side of the roundabout which seems to be very good if you want to go east

Same as others: bad spot in the noon/afternoon. Didn't got a car. Also no Romanian cars, so I guess it's only good for Budapest. Only good thing is nearby auchan.

We were originaly trying to get to vienna or in the direction of germany but we met a guy going to italy who was willing to take us with him so we went for it.
Wouldn't recommend trying to go to vieanna from here. Many people seemed to go to Budapest from here

Within 30 minutes we hitchhiked a man who drove us straight to Budapest. Many cars are heading this way towards Hungary. Heavy traffic.

I was at this spot 2 or 3 times but never got a lift fast. Usually I was waiting for 40-60 minutes. Some rides took me just to the highway to Belgrade/Budapest but a lot of people travel all the way to Novi Sad and Belgrade
