We were two people and actually wanted to get further south, but apparently we struck a period of bad luck on that specific Sunday. The spot itself seems very nice, but except for three people offering us a ride back to Rijeka (which we didn't want) nothing else happened for the whole period. After one hour of nobody offering any ride we decided to take the next opportunity that anyone offers, which was Bratislava. So yeah. I don't know if that spot was good enough to make people stop for you. Others seemed to have had more luck.

The place is great. We tried to get out towards Bratislava and unfortunately it was difficult. Many drivers stopped, but unfortunately, most were heading towards northern Poland.

I've hitchhiked here many times. Sign is needed. 50% of cars are just local, 30% is direction Zvolen (ZV sign) and only a few cars go towards Nitra and Bratislava during the week. On Sundays or weekdays mornings I would expect more traffic to Bratislava, but generally 30min - 2h wait time to Nitra

Cars go pretty quickly here but the left lane isn’t used that often (because it’s an exit from the parking lot/entryway to the gas station) so technically there is a place for cars to stop, but not everyone will as it’s kinda risky. We stood with a sign and found a ride to Bratislava after 5 mins.

A very chill place to wait on a green space, there is a traffic camera near it so people dont accelerate quickly which makes it a fairly quiet spot too. But it was pretty dead when we were there, pretty much only local traffic and gas station was quite empty as well. We waited for 90mins and got no offers to Bratislava so we decided to move over to Raststätte Simmaring. Might work better on the weekends

Quite good place, not so many cars, but few of them go to Bratislava. Some cars are a bit full because of workers groups. Anyway, you can find your ride to south of Slovakia from here.

there is lot of space and you can ask people on gas station. BUT if you going to Bratislava, I recommend IKEA gas station on south.

I was waiting more than 3 hours and gave up. I went sleep to the north forest. I recommend to go to other side of the Bratislava.

I waited at the gas station with a "Wien/Bratislava" sign but no one picked me up. The night was beginning to fall and I tried on the other spot next to the bridge to no success. I ended taking a bus to Wien

Really bad spot, no space to ask people and although they have space to stop, no one cares about you. If you're going to Bratislava you might be able to get a ride but if you're trying to get back onto the highway like us, it wont work. Slovaks don't take the highway to Bratislava. We had to walk to the supermarket and get a ride to the airport to escape

Really difficult place to go to Hungary, there is like 95% of locals and 5% that goes to Bratislava (we could go there 2 times). We took just a lift to the airport and see what happens.
