Lots of space to stop with the bus stop but for some reason itβs hard to go south. It would make sense thereβs traffic to the village but there are also lots of trucks and foreign cars, so not sure what happened. I ended moving to the southern end of the villagerating: 2/5, wait: 60 min πͺ§

Doesn't seem to have a lot of traffic going out of the city. Our driver had to go in Zvolen but dropped us all the way in Divin, 40km away.Might make more sense to find a placce a bit more on the outskirts of the city.

A lot of traffic, mostly - but not only - cars from Germany, Austria, but also Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia.However! Germans won't take you, so it is better not to waste time with them...

Not too much traffic and cars coming from the main road are going quite fast, try to stand somewhere where road signs wonβt hide you from them. Not ideal, but basically all traffic to eastern Slovakia from this part of Poland goes through here. Ideally avoid getting dropped here and get a direct ride to Slovakia from further north.rating: 4/5, wait: 20 min πͺ§, ride: 30 km β

Many cars going slowly and leaving Krakow, lots of space for them to pull over at the bus stop but be careful because you have to stand on a slim patch of grass for drivers to see you. With a sign saying SK I got a ride to Nowy Targ by a guy going to Slovakia but not the right direction.rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min πͺ§, ride: 72 km β

Iβve decided to use this spot because of bus stop, where I could hide in case of heavy rain (it was a rainy day). There are also traffic lights just before the bus stop, so cars are slowed down a bit. Plus they can safely use the bus stop to stop there. It took me only about 20m to get a direct ride back home to Zilina (Slovakia) which is around 190km.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min πͺ§

Poland is so easy to hitchike broo random bus stops I didn't even have a sign and a guy in a TRUCK stopped on the bus stop and took me to tarnow. Poland is the easiest country to autostop in my opinion (I've hitchhiked in Germany, Belgium, france, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, bosnia so I guess I know what I'm saying)rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min, ride: 78 km β

We waited there a long time. There is a lot of gypsies in the area, that may be the reason people wouldnt want to stop. The first guy that stopped offered us a ride to Poprad for 20β¬. At first i thought he was joking but no. We denied of course, then another guy came and offered us the same. The last thing that made us want to leave was two guys in a van trying to kidnapp us (I think) bcs they were trying to get us in the back of their van. Only reason j gave 2 stars not one is that this spot wouldn't be so bad if we weren't so unlucky. Idk Slovakia πΈπ° is kinda freaky be careful yall π³rating: 2/5, wait: 60 min
