(M+F) It took us like 10 minutes to find a car going all the way to Bratislava. First time hitching an Aston Martin, really cool experience. Pretty good place.

Quite a funnel here from towns below to the highway. All the Bratislava and Nitra traffic turns left, and all Zvolen traffic goes straight. It should be really easy to get to Nitra and Bratislava, in that case stand after the turn. I went towards Zvolen which meant much less traffic there.

Probably lucky - I was thumbing at the traffic and first car was going to Bratislava.

Hitchhiked 2 or 3 times from this new big rest area. If you're coming from the east on the highway to Bratislava, but your driver is only going to Nitra or Trnava, this is your best spot to get out. Very easy to thumb at the exit or stand with a BA sign and get to Bratislava.

these reviews are so funny. bro is going with the companion and complains that less people want to take 2 passengers. spot is good. you can also stand a bit earlier, there are 2 huge lanes. or ask around. everything works. i had sign "vienna/bratislava"

I was here very early in the moring on a weekday so most of cars were stopping for coffee or something before going gor work in Bratislava. So asked trucks around and got a ride to Brno. Also there was a lot of trucks going to Bratislava so maybe its better to go to gas station further down the highway?

Got droped at this border control because local lady said that i only can cross this one on foot? Was crossing the border and asked a car ahead with slovakian plates if they can pick me up and he agreed do got taken straight to Bratislava and even he invited to stay at his apartment for the night and drove me to gas station in the morning. Very nice guy who also hitchhiked in his youth.

cars go fast, uncomfortable to stop and everyone who turns right to the mall is mostly locals. if you signal with a sign you also irritate the turning drivers. few CZ cars and they are all on the opposite lane. leaving Bratislava sucks. ask around the gas station to bring you to the highway or any city in the north from which you can walk to highway petrol station.

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.

We found couple from Poland after only 5minutes, the took us to Bratislava. Great spot.

second person we asked was on the way to bratislava

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

Got picked up by a friendly german who told me I shouldn’t even try in Bratislava.

very light traffic but still better than the airport (going hr or bratislava)

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.

big chance for Bratislava bus stop

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.
