We were 2 guys and got a lift to Maribor. Tried to ask around but people were quite cold. When we signed instead it went fast

We got dropped off from a ride from Mikulov. We tried to catch a ride using a sign to Graz/Maribor. There was mostly traffic heading towards Vienna. We do not recommend this petrol station. Only a few cars were going our way and the there were road works right next to the station (13.7.2025). We asked around a lot of people. We eventually got lucky and a nice lady took us to Graz Putigam Station.

a lot of german, austrian and hungarian cars here going north and east as well as slovenians going to maribor, less traffic for zagreb but that was maybe the time of the year. very busy spot but in summer mostly families or cars with not enough room for two hitchhikers. we tried first asking for rides to zagreb but got a lift after we put novo mesto on a sign and asked around.

It looks as good spot to try to hitchhike someone, but it is not. Everyone goes on vacation, so they have got full car or goes only to Maribor. We tried it there for like 6 hours with sign "Ljubljana", but nobody stopped. Good thing about it is a Field behind the gas station for a night in a tent. It is better to ask people then Wait. And maybe ask people with the same nationality. :)

when I got here in the afternoon I had absolutely no issues getting a ride to slovenia. if there is someone going to Maribor, try to get dropped off at the border rest stop on the slovenian side. People have to stop there to buy a highway pass. lots of cars going to serbia and bosnia

There is a street going to the right where cars can stop. For direction Maribor it's good as everyone is on the right hand lane already. Need a sign!

Got stuck here a whole sunday plus a good hour on monday morning before I get a ride to Zagreb airport. Little traffic, mostly local, all cars with croatians plates were either packed or not caring at all.
If you come from Maribor, better to stick to the traffic light in Hoče.

Got offered a ride to Maribor when walking to this point from the city center with a SLO sign sticked on my backpack. The guy told me there is several thousand Slovenians commuting to Graz everyday.

Not too many cars were coming through the rest station (Thursday midday), but generally I think it's a good spot that is probably better in the weekends. There is a Landzeit where often people stop for a meal or coffee. My sign was: SLO, Ljubljana.. after an hour i switched it to Graz, Maribor.. and was Lucky to get a ride all the way to Ljubljana:)

Pretty bad spot because cars going to Maribor dont have a lot of space to stop and have to turn thru another lane to stop or stop in their lane. Still had great luck when a monk took me to maribor. Next time would look for another spot

Got a lift to Sofia in 1 hour with a Maribor sign. Asking around isn't effective because a lot of driver go to other direction

Many locals are not willing to give you a ride. But after 45 minutes of waiting, a girl from Slovenia pulled up and gave us a ride directly to the Kekec camp in Maribor. She told us that it was actually a good place to go because a lot of people come home to Slovenia from work. It's worth a try.

A local recomended this spot towards slovenia, croatia and italy. Its a tram stop so there is a place to sit. If you stand before The crosswalk people can easily see you and stop at the bus stop behind. We have wanted for maybe 20 min with sign slovenia ( around 17:00 on thuesday) and a very nice lady picked us up and took to Maribor. Seems like a lot of people go this way from graz to Maribor.

2 people, a boy and a girl. This is the perfect spot, because people from all directions of the crossroad are going down south. We got picked up by an amazing young girl who took us to celje, which is the halfway to Maribor. She also recommended us a good spot in Celje. Sign to LJ/CE.
