I walked here for 4 hours from the centre, because other spots did not exist before. But the spot was perfect. After 10 minutes a Slovak took me to Ljubljana and from there I got 5 minutes later directly a ride across Austria to my home

Some cool Italians offered me a ride to the border after 5 mins waiting. The spot itself is great. Good visibility, slow traffic and a massive layby. At the border several motorways merge, so way more long distance options, although perhaps not a perfect spot for hitchike. Still made it to Ljubljana tho. Walking over border was no problem obviously.

This seemed like the most practical place to hitch (directly on the motorway but with a big hardshoulder for cars to stop, and due to the border chaos it was fairly slow traffic.) Demoralising as lot of cars where taking the exit just before this though. Still, perseverance. Tons of trucks rejected me, but eventually got offered a ride to Skopje, allowing me to reach Ljubljana. The driver spoke English and was super cool. 60 mins for a super fast ride in a BMW is pretty damn good.

I usually like to avoid being dropped off at parking lots with toilets but no other infrastrucre, like this one. But due to a planning mistake I had to be dropped off here. And I must say, I'm positively surprised! Despite low traffic, I found a ride past Ljubljana within 10 minutes because a really friendly Austrian dude started helping me out by asking around for me.

We were trying to get to Litija from Prebold via this mountain road. Traffic was very sparse on a Saturday. After a span where there were no cars for 10 mins, we eventually decided to just walk to the other side of town and get to Ljubljana

Direct ride to Ljubljana. A lot of cars were passing by but not stopping. Good spot for the gas station. For us, it worked better just putting the thumb and not a sign with the city

Went for a long ride and found one to Ljubljana after 2 hours of asking people at the gas station :)

We waited there for about two minutes with a sign saying “Ljubljana, Graz, Vienna,” and after two minutes, a man from Slovenia with Mercedes picked us up and drove us over to Ljubljana.

The main bus stop at the exit of Mojstrana, easy peasy! I met a French guy in my hostel, he had never hitched before, but we were going to Ljubljana on the same day, so we figured it could be fun if he tagged along! It was pouring down with rain, so we left our bags in the bus stop, and only darted out to stick our thumbs up when we saw headlights in the distance, before retreating back to the dry. This worked wonders! Within 15 minutes we were in the car of Marco and his 90 year old mother, who loving gave us a lift to Jesenice, and offered us the first of a few umbrellas we’d be refusing that day. Marcos mother didn’t speak any English, and my Slovene was sadly not good enough to understand her, but my suspicions were confirmed when upon us leaving the car, she proudly announced “BONNE VOYAGE!”

Undoubtedly a good spot to go to Austria or Ljubljana, as the first four cars that stopped were going to one of these. The is the bus stop for Jesenice hospital, and surprisingly most of the cars that stopped were the ones coming from the hospital road, not the traffic lights. Eventually, Danno gave me a lift to Mojstrana, dropping me right at the front door of my hostel, and giving me some wonderful hiking recommendations whilst I was there! (Notably, Slap Peričnik in the winter!!)

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.

A lot of people from Slovenia work in Austria. We (2) asked a guy with a Slovenian license plate and took us directly to gas station next to Maribor which was good spot for our next ride to Ljubljana.

Nice place, and a bit of luck on a way directly to Graz. Guy took us to gas station near Graz airport. Probably good spot to Slovenia - Ljubljana.

With a sign for Ljubljana, got a ride for Zagreb quickly

Typical highway station and rest place. Mostly trucks taking obligatory breaks. With some patience you can easily get at least to Ljubljana, with some Celje/Maribor or even Austria or Hungary

I was dropped off here by a local, but had to wait here quite some while before someone picked me up. Spot itself isn’t bad, people can see you and your sign and have a place where to stop before and after the toll. I had a sign Split/Zagreb. Eventually an American couple stopped and they were driving to Ljubljana!!!

Super nice spot to Ljubljana

We were trying to get a lift to Ljubljana in the evening. Many cars but most of them are fully packed for holidays, or did not stop. We slept in the fields next to the station and tried again next morning. After one hour we got a lift towards Ljubljana. Asking people at the Gas station or the Restaurant might be more succesful. Still it is a good spot I think.

Very good spot, many people going so SLO, the nicest truck driver was going to Ljubljana and I took the ride to Maribor (Had a Maribor Zagreb sign)

I was stopping there with sign Ljubljana. young guy took me to a gas station on the highway from where I got a ride in 20min
