Еду с Омска до Краснодара Приехал сюда с кургана

Присоединяюсь к вам стою тут уже 15 минут еду с Омска в Краснодар

От сюда лучше всего уезжать в сторону Краснодара/Ростова Там есть остановка с которой подбирает каждая 3 машина люди всегда приветливы к автостопщики

it's not over if you are dropped here. good spot overall.

very cool and cheap cafe with good traffic, debeloped toilet, and good place to stop cars on the opposite site

brilliant spot to get to Ivangorod and cross the border to Estonia. to get here, take metro to "prospect Veteranov", then get on the bus 145/145Э.

there is mcdonalds and a gas station, but it's a lot of local traffic, they do not go to M11(speed highway) that you need.

the map is not updated. it's a really cool resting + gas station. stay at the exit or ask around. lots of cars go to st.petersburg

a little bit of traffic, but they definitely go to M11, and chances are that 50% go to Moscow and 50% to St.Petersburg. So if you are stuck in Solnechnogorsk and need to escape it, take the 21/34/27 bus till the graveyard and then just go to the tollgates. ask for gas station along m11 if they dont want to take you far away.

it's ok. but you'll only get to nearby towns/villages. for st. petersburg you need to go on M11.

there is a place to stop, but very little traffic because of the double line. better to avoid this place. also no cover from the sun.

try to get out of the city. i don't know, really. it's hard.

this spot is dead. right lane is for busses/those who have turned, traffic is local, you NEED to go further.

La sama ulo haltis por mi kaj veturigis min. Ŝajnas, ke li haltis en la urbo por viziti sian patrinon kaj pensis, ke iu prenos min al Volgogrado antaŭ ol forlasi ŝian domon, kio bedaŭrinde ne okazis, ĉar estis nokto kaj malvarme, kaj la loko estas dezerta kaj seninspira. Antaŭ ol li revenis, du iom frenezaj uloj haltis aliflanke kaj venis por paroli kun mi, fakte provante iel esplori min. Eble ili estis krimuloj? Mi ne scias. Daniela, la poneo, protektis min. Mi alvenis je la 22a horo kaj ne haltis. Feliĉe, ĉe la haltejo, kie li demetis min, estas granda butikcentro kaj multaj homoj estis tie por doni al mi informojn pri transportado, kaj ili eĉ pagis por buso. Estis iom konfuze, sed mi sukcesis trovi lokon por petveturi; la informoj pri la sekvaj punktoj, kiujn mi afiŝis ĉi tie, estas pli antaŭtempe. Fakte, mi ricevis veturigon forlasante Volgogradon je la 2a horo matene kaj daŭrigis.

Estis fakte facile ĉi tie, bona trafiko, malfrua posttagmezo, iu haltigis min ofertante veturigi min duonvoje, kaj eĉ nutris min per folioj kaj fruktoj. Mi uzis la ŝildon por Volgogrado.

Mi ĵus haltis ĉe la bushaltejo, la lasta ĉe la elirejo de la benzinstacio kie ankoraŭ estas loko por aŭtoj aŭ kamiono, mi komencis noti la sekvan numerplaton kaj aŭto kun du sinjoroj haltigis min, proponante lasi min ĉe pli bona bushaltejo pli antaŭen.

Du junaj punkoj, kiuj ŝatas trap-muzikon, haltis por mi en kaduka aŭto, kaj mi ĝuis la veturon. Kvankam neniu diris ion ajn, ni ĉiuj komprenis unu la alian. Estas polica kontrolpunkto ĉe la intersekciĝo; feliĉe, mi estis sufiĉe malproksime por ke ili ne ĝenu min. La rusoj ŝajnas tre afablaj homoj.

Post iom da malespero pro la konscio, ke mi troviĝas en krucvojo meze de nenie, kie aŭtoj pasis plenrapide kaj ĉiuj aliaj, kiuj venis de la flankaj vojoj, ne komprenas, ke nur 10 km farus grandegan diferencon, mi komencis uzi la ŝildon por 10 km kaj freneze bunta paro haltis apud mi. Fakte ili iris al elektronika festo en Volgrado, sed ili ne povis kunpreni min, ĉar ili kolektos iun amikon survoje. Mi simple petis ilin lasi min ĉe la enirejo al Volgrado kaj ili akceptis. Kaj ili donis al mi monon, ĉirkaŭ 4000. Dankon multege.

Ĉi tiu bushaltejo aspektas sufiĉe bone; ŝajnas kvazaŭ oni ankoraŭ estus en la urbo, sed mi rapide ricevis bonan veturon — tamen ne tiom bonan, ĉar por iu iranta al Volgrado, ĝi lasis min ĉe sufiĉe malkonvena vojkruciĝo.

For 2026 update, less trucks as it used to be, but there's still quite some of them, almost all of them will be going to Russia, usually to Zilupe border so try to talk with the drivers and most likely they'll get you to Daugavpils or Rezekne ringroads or if u head further east (Ludza or Russia) you can go with them all the way

Totaly agree with previous comment. Same story. Me and my girlfriend wait just 1 minute. Many trucks go to Russia/Kazahstan

Trucker from Chechnya took me a few hours north. Said he liked trucking for the first few months but now he's seen it all and it's just boring. Used to teach and tutor math back in Russia but had to leave last year. Nice guy, he smoked Parliaments and listened to grunge.

No cars allowed to cross the border to Russia as of 2025, if you are seeking for a ride towards there, you gotta get to the other side of it

I will give 5 Stars to this spot because I got a car directly to Vilnius 220 km in a raining day and it was 5 pm !!! Cars didn't want to stop and trucks didn't have enough room to pull over, but a lady from Russia safe me that day !!! She invited me to eat and invited me a beer too ! And took me directly to my friend place in Vilnius even when she wasn't going to Vilnius! I was extremely lucky that day ! I was even thinking about camping in that place and it was already cold ❄️ so, once again! I was just lucky as everyone sometimes!

We crossed from Georgia to Russia on a Monday morning in July 2024, then back on a Sunday afternoon. Some things for hitchhikers to note: -It can be cold and rainy even in summer, be prepared. -Line of cars were backed up on both sides all the way to the borders. It's very far from one border to another, but the traffic was so bad that it was faster to walk. For the love of all that's holy, if the traffic is backed up all the way to customs, WALK!!!! You are SO lucky, you're the only person who is not tied to waiting for a car. On the return trip we stupidly decided to stay with our ride and we spent over 9 hours in the line. Just get out and walk, please. -We'd heard you couldn't cross the border walking, but nobody stopped us on the Georgian side. You just need a car to cross customs on the Russian side, after that, say thanks to your ride, and get out and walk.. -There are two tunnels. At the first tunnel we got in a car going to Vladikavkaz, but ended up sitting in line for hours, we should have walked. -We ended up getting out and walking after a while, but were stopped within sight of the Russian checkpoint, so we got in another car at the front of the line. Probably saved an hour or two by just getting out and walking ten minutes. -If you choose to walk the tunnels, wear a facemask, the pollution inside is quite heavy, but you can cross in 15 minutes or so, so it's doable. Ideally have a flashlight too, as tunnels are quite dim, and there are a lot of broken bottles on the ground. Make sure to walk on the right of traffic against tunnel wall,NOT in the middle, as cheaters cut the line and zoom around very recklessly. -Go to the bathroom BEFORE you cross. There are portapoties on the bridge, but they have poop piled up since the time of the tsars. -Exchange any money you need before crossing. In Russia, foreign bank cards don't work, and you can only exchange money at banks for very bad rates.

I hitchhiked a bit further at the border itself. It was Tuesday noon in August 2016. There was no queue there at all, in fact, the border was quite desolate. Nobody ever demanded any kind of permission from me nor did anyone try to get money out of me. Though I must admit this permission-for-border-areas thing does exist (in Russia and Belarus for sure) but unless you encounter police, nobody will check it. Just hitchhike to Mamonovo - it's not that difficult :).

Not much traffic to russia

The very good place to go to Latvia and Russia. Used it for three times. Safety: there is a bus stop there. Traffic light helps you to stop cars. To reach this spot you need to take 1G bus from the city centre. It costs 1 euro.

Try to avoid hitchhiking from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod on a friday....traffic is insane. While seeing the huge traffic jam going up the hill I tried to get a lift to Nizhny Novgorod from there. After about 20 minutes I just decided to walk along the traffic jam searching eye contact with some driver and stuck out my thumb. That worked pretty well, however walking was the same speed :D TAKE CARE! The hard shoulder can become very dangerous in Russia!

started walking from the roundabout where we were dropped of, after 3min a car with tourists from russia took us to the lake, no real room to stop, but traffic isn't very fast yet.

It is absolutely senseless to cross this border to/from Russia. Even if it makes your way longer, you are better off crossing the border at Kyakhta/Altanbulag. There are so few foreigners crossing this border, you will be the centre of attention and interrogation by the soldiers. It is quite easy to hitch once you cross to the Russian side as many drivers ride to the nearby town of Borzya, where you can move on to Chita.

I think it bit dangerous there, its occupied part of georgia, by Russia and there are a lot criminals.

This spot is also good to go north despite other spots in the north of Umeå might be more convenients It is worth walking down to the A4 roundabout 1 km further south, Many lorry drivers coming from South will stop at this petrol station despite the fact that there is another petrol station northbound. Those were heading to Russia. the reason is that the other petrol station is considered to be rubbish!

Very useful point to combine cheap train to Debaltseve and a hitchhike further to Russia. Дуже зручна точка, коли треба поєднати дешевий поїзд до Дебальцевого та поїхати автостопом далі до Росії.

I guess trespassing this particular border is prohibited due to military conflict involving Russia. I know that people travel Batumi to Sochi by ferry. How could you enter Abkhazia in this manner?

Dagestan isn't as dangerous as media tell. But hitchhiking is not tolerated... in good manner. I mean if you find a local contact, he would follow the national tradition to serve the guest as good as possible, probably driving you along the coast, inviting home for dinner etc., for free, of course. More than just a hitchhike/couchsurf experience. You have to appreciate this muslim region is very different from Russia. Anyway, you better avoid attracting excessive police attention, escpecially with non-CIS passport. There are a few road posts and numerous patrols within the city limits. --- , -. . - , ( ), , , . , . , , , .

weird to see that this spot is marked as good :D I waited for more than 3 hours for a lift...as well as two other hitchhikers a few hundred metres in front of me. Worst point in russia so far. It doesn't make sense to walk on as well, because there won't come a better spot.

It's once point for hiking from Perm to west of Russia (Izhevsk, Moscow) that i'd try. You can take busses number 8, 20 from center of city and gotta bus stop "stadion Avangard" - " " on russian.
