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

Our direction was Slovenia, Ljubljana. Nobody stopped. We stood there from morning until the afternoon and still no one. In the evening, we finally took a train.

Our direction was Balaton. At first, we had the sign for Ljubljana, but nobody reacted to that. When we changed it to Balaton, a very kind lady stopped for us within 20 minutes.

We waited for 4 hours at this spot and nobody stopped for us. In the end, we slept by the roadside, and the next day we went to a new spot because no one would stop here. Our direction was M7 Ljubljana.

With a sign saying SLO, we got a ride to a town close to Ljubljana in like 5mins. Plenty enough space for cars to see you, read the sign and stop

Not much cars, at least on Sunday. The driver who had helped me here from Ljubljana came back to me to drive me to Trieste <3

Wonderful spot, despite the customer service at the café. Huge amounts of cars heading to south (mostly Balkan, maybe Italy too). Got a ride by asking people to Ljubljana, even though it was past midnight. Could've gotten to Bosnia as well by the same car.

perfect spot to go to Ljubljana

bus stop direction Ljubljana.
