I just started and car stoped next to me. Czech family went home from vacation. There was one place for me in the car.

I was waiting more than 3 hours and gave up. I went sleep to the north forest. I recommend to go to other side of the Bratislava.

no one wanted to take us towards Poland, when we switched sign to "Žilina" we got a ride in 30 minutes

Great spot for reaching Poland. I only got a ride to the border but to Krakow should be very possible.

The service station was reasonably busy at 10am on a Thursday. I stood at the exit. Was trying to go to Warsaw from Kosice. Not sure if the highway route is better than taking the regional roads through Lublin but I decided to see. Quite quickly found a ride to Ruzomberok and onto the E77 into Poland.

Not a dangerous spot at all like thr comment below says. You have a good and safe plaxe to stand. Cars go a bit fast but pretty easy to thumb to at least Presov if not further.

I was lucky and got a ride almost straight away from a truck driver directly to Budapest but I also met another hitchhiker there that had been waiting for a ride towards Vienna since the evening before.

Ni estis du. Ĉiu provis en malsamaj lokoj sed samtempe kaŭzis lokojn sur la sama vojo. Iom malfacile, sed eble.

I think the spot is great to go Slovakia but I was even luckier, I managed to go to Miskolc, Hungary with a Slovakia sign. The cars can see you from a distance and the bus stop is perfect for stopping.

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...

Quite a good place to continue on the road outside Krakow - in the direction of Czech Republic/Slovakia

Pretty unlucky. There was construction work and no one was going to Slovakia. Took a ride to Zakopane in the end

―princessescharming, August 2025

49.98426, 19.91227

Quickly got a ride in our direction. We wanted to go to Slovakia but it didn't seem like anyone was going there. If you want to go to Zakopane it should be pretty easy

Not too much traffic and cars coming from the main road are going quite fast, try to stand somewhere where road signs won’t 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.

With SK/Prešov sign, got picked up by a fellow hitchhiker going to Białka almost immediately. Be careful about where you get dropped tho, all the traffic going to Slovakia follows the main road but not all spots are safe.

―Arphile, August 2025

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.

Got a ride to Krakow in 5 minutes. Slow traffic and everyone heading for Slovakia is coming through here because the highway is not finished.

Few cars, and not going to Miskolc or Slovakia. I ended up walking more than an hour through the fields to the MOL petrol station to the east.

Lot of cars go to Slovakia. Our driver take us all the way just because he wants

Good spot if u go to Slovakia. A lot of space for cars or trucks to stop.

―Magik, August 2025

I’ve 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.

it’s ideal if you go from ped border crossing from slovakia, many cars from there go here, i got a ride from a postman from Nova Poshta (Нова пошта) from the boarder to this spot:)

We were hitchhiking through Slovakia and got a rider to Bardejov. Not a lot of traffic, a lot of Polish people and there is a bus bay for cars to pull over. Not the best spot, but good enough to get to a bigger city.

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)
