Kiel mi eksciis ke en la elirado de la urba pretervojo ne ekzistas lumon kaj homoj eble pasis rapide, mi elektis eniri Volgograd kaj provi trasnporto gxis la urba elirado. Kaj tio funkciis. 2 kuddistanaj frateloj veturis min gxis grandega benzinostacio dum nokto. Tre frenezaj frateloj.

Mi dormis en la sofo de la enirado de la necesejo cxar la virino ku estis tie oferis min. Mi alvenis tie la 3a matene, kaj dormis gxis la 7a. Kirdankon., Multaj da kamionoj haltas tie. Sed automobilo kiu pasis en la cxefa vojo. La amiko Max. Dankon.

Mi trovis amikojn kiu helpis min dormi kaj ripozi en UlanUde dum mi reekipigxi kun pli bonaj vestagxoj por travivi en la malvarmega tempo. Do mi petveturis al la centro de Ulan Ude ekde cxi tie.

Tre bona, sed se vi volas iri al Mongolio kaj estas te malvarma, plibonigus peti plej longa veturadon ol nure gxis la venonta vilajxo cxar la vetero cxi tie en malvarma epoko estas mortiga. Vi povas trovi minibuson gxis tia loko ekde UlanUde.

kun la vento kaj la malvarmeco de la epoko mi preskaux mortis. Eble bona, sed malfacila per mi.

Kiam mi alvenis kaj komencis peti mi estis doninta veturadon.

Familio haltis al mi, iomete poste la stacio. Bona loko.

Fakte mi bezonis atendi gxis uno inter la policistoj trovis min veturado. malfelicxe mia rusa ne estis tre bona por ekklarigi kiun mi volis.

Хороший закоулочек, подробно про него писали на хитчивики

Культура этой остановки такова, что вечером из краснодара едут по домам вахтовики которые часто останавливаются сами, дабы подбросить местных в сторону смоленской за символический донат или за спасибо

примерно перед остановкой, которая на этой карте не отмечена

неплохая обочина на подъеме, вроде бы машины на развязке притормаживают, но у меня есть сомнения насколько стабильно тут будут останавливаться

simple perfekta punkto

verŝajne la plej bona loko el Samara dumnokte. Homoj pasas vere rapide, sed estas lumo, loko por halti kaj multaj kamionoj haltantaj. Tiam mi renkontis Hassen, kiu multe helpis min.

Tio estis freneza. La lasta kamionisto, Hassen, donis al mi monon kaj vokis taksion al ĉi tiu benzinstacio el la urbocentro, tiam la taksio eĉ ne akceptis mian pagon, li ankaŭ donis al mi monon. Poste, iom suferante pro la malvarmo, mi eniris la benzinstacion, reorganizis min pli bone, ricevis donacon por alia kafo, revenis kaj ricevis veturon de Uber. Ĉi tio estis epopeo.

Ĉi tiu punkto estas magia. Kaj la maniero kiel mi alvenis ĉi tien eĉ pli, Uber veturigis min ĉi tien ĉar li elektos iun ĉi tie.

Eble mi estis la unua petveturanto sur la pretervojo, ĉar la viro, kiu min lasis en ĉi tiu benzinstacio, laboras por ĉi tiu vojo kaj kunprenis min laŭlonge de ĝi unu monaton antaŭ ĝia inaŭguro. Ĉi tiu benzinstacio estas mojosa. Sed iom malfacila nokte. Roman kunprenis min al Tjumen kaj helpis min kun nova ŝuo.

Ĉi tiu loko estas pli bona ol mi pensis. Eĉ pli bona ĉe la komenco de la granda flanka vojo.

Ĝi ŝajnas esti bona, sed pro iu nekonata kialo ĝi ne estas. Mi opinias, ke la trafikcirklo antaŭe povus esti pli bona. Se estas tre malvarme kaj malseke, estas eĉ pli malbone. En tiaj kondiĉoj almenaŭ vi povas halti de tempo al tempo por varmiĝi en la mikro-butiko de la benzinstacio.

Potenciale tre tre bona pro la sumo de transportoj venantaj kaj el Sankt-Peterburgo kaj Moskvo, aŭ aliaj lokoj, ankaŭ havas trafiklumojn kiuj devigas duonon de la movado pasi pli malrapide kaj multajn kamionojn elirantajn el la benzinstacio. Tamen en pluva malvarma nokto kun la polico fanfaronanta ĉirkaŭe, ĝi povas esti infera. Dankon, André.

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.

Pretty nice spot to hitching! We got here a Dutch which gave us a lift to Apeldoorn even if he was living near the Amersfoort. There was also a very nic touristic bus from Russia. Good spot to get a truck or car, convienent.
