Honestly one of the best spots of my life. A lot of cars, you see them coming from far away, many tourists. A couple of Hungarians drove me to Ljubljana. I had a sign "LJ - Zagreb" and came there using a local bus from Trieste (check the number on Google maps, I do not remember).

Not really a hitchhiking spot. I got dropped off here by my driver from Ljubljana. She then called her brother, who lives in Maribor and has experience hitchhiking, to take me to a good hitchhiking spot.

Dead spot on the way to Ljubljana. I waited for over 90 minutes. Next time, I would take a bus to Maribor Titova-Nasypna (4€). Don't waste your time like I did

Great spot for going East (Ljubljana in my case). Asked everyone for a lift and a truck driver took me on his way to Zagreb. Employees said hi, pretty cool folks. But I didn’t dare take my LJ sign out in case the Police stopped by (happened to me in Padova)

The spot is not bad, there are definitely cars heading to Celje or Ljubljana, but not much traffic to Zagreb. The traffic is too fast to stop, but the cars often stop at the red light. We (a guy and a girl) stood with two signs Zagreb and Ptuj. We got taken to Ptuj and the driver said that he was going elsewhere, but he changed his way to take us to Ptuj.

Guy and girl heading to Ljubljana. Bus stop is a good spot, quickly got a lift all the way (with sightseeing stops on the way). Lots of tourists crossing the pass, and the road is super wide at that point. Maybe we were a bit lucky that the layby wasn't full of parked cars yet as the parking seemed crazy on the pass.

Guy and girl heading to Ljubljana. Waited about 40 minutes then got a lift to the top of the Vršič pass. Good spot especially if the parking spaces aren't full, cars are going slow round the corner.

Cars going too fast 2-3 cars stopped and could bring me to Zagreb and one guy took Budapest, but I wanted to Ljubljana Decided to go to another spot

Was hitchhiking here at the end of the gasstation trying to go towards Trieste. Italians don’t like hitchhikers and after 90 minutes i gave up (it was late). I spoke to a truckdriver earlier who said he was going to Ljubljana the next day (which is where i needed to go) and i asked if he could take me the next day. We agreed to meet at 5 in the moring, so i camped in the bush behind the gasstation. When i was there the next day at 4:45, he was gone.

honestly, I hate it. if you ask around the McDonald's - you lose truck traffic and mcdrive. if you hold mcdonalds lane, 80% of the cars turn left to Maribor and you are just wasting energy. standing at the exit towards Zagreb/Ljubljana and no one stops. not even asks. I may have been EXTREMELY unlucky, but something is off here.

When I arrived a guy pulled down to pee, I asked him if he go to Ljubljana and he agree to drop me at the gas station at the border! Grazie Mario!

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!”
