There is a petrol station where you can hitchhike right before the highway, just make sure to have a sign or they won't easily stop.

Typical highway station and rest place. Mostly trucks taking obligatory breaks. With some patience you can easily get at least to Ljubljana, with some Celje/Maribor or even Austria or Hungary

Seems like people are not happy to stop at the border for some reason. After 50min one italian guy stopped and he said that it's not good spot to hitchhike and he took me to station on the highway

Normal gas station, they have good pastry sortiment, a bit too expensive though.

Worth to go there. I was going to exit ramp with sign Zagreb and rider approached me before I started to hike.
You can get there from Cesta Dveh Cesarjev, then go down to the bushes between golf field and highway. There is a small path. Go with the highway fence to the metal gate. Gate is closed but just next to it there is a hole in the fence.

Most traffic goes to Lublana. I had a sign with Zagreb on, but it can be really difficult to get someone further than LJ.

Tons of traffic in the right direction towards pula. Stand in front of the bus stop so drivers can pull in. I’m assuming it would be good for trieste as well

There is a safe place for hitchhiking just before the border crossing. Cars slow down up to 50 km/h and there is a place for save stop. However, almost everybody goes to the Triest city and it’s difficult to find sb going further. A little further, at border crossing, there were policemen but gentile and cheering up in my hitchhiking.

Don’t like it, barely any traffic and none going far just the tiny villages. I gave up on pula and had a sign for koper just to get out of there and it still took an hour

Cars going in to the E61 are slowing down thanks to the turn. It is not the most comfortable place to stop for a car but it worked for us regardless.

Very easy to get to with 1€ City Bikes. We initially just used hand signal but then we eventually got a ride with Postojna sign at the bus stop. decent amount of trafic a lot of supportive waves and beeps :).

After 2 minutes of waiting with a sign “Vransko” somebody stopped and drove me to Maribor.

Take any ride to the middle of the valley. One guy drove me for 10min and that eliminates 70% of the drivers. Than i got a ride to Maribor in 2 minutes.

One driver from austria took me to Graz. I waited for less than 5 minutes. It is a bit tricky for a car to stop, but the red light takes ages to change.

It's not a good place for a couple we waited a whole afternoon then slept here in tent on the next morning we found a truck driver who took us to Croatia. If you are alone it can be good there are some trucks there and most of them willing to take one person. ou can go to Slovenia or croatia from here but come here only if you are alone.

It seems to be great for Czech and Austria, but actually there are a lot of cars going S1 not A1, highly recommended to make a sign with direction. I waited there almost two hours, but after that I was taken by truck driver going to Slovenia. We managed to get to Brno in his driving time limit.

We wanted to go to slovenia but most of the cars go westwards. There is not much traffic bit people are very nice. Many drivers stopped and asked us where we want to go but it was not our direction. Finally we decided to take a ride to a gas station on the highway that heads to slovenia eventough it was not the shortest way.

We were stopping there with multiple huge signs (slovenia, austria, airport)
People passing be were interested and slow down to read the signs (we were creating a small traffic gem)
The first guy who stoped was going to austria but didn't have enough space for both of us.
After another 3h a guy from germany took as to the airport.
The spot is propably as good as it gets around here.

Nice spot, with place for cars to stop, if it's not busy you can also try to hitch both cars from main road and the one from bellow on the opposite side. Got ride to Slovenia in 5min.

Really nice spot. Two cars stopped for me in 5 minutes. Looks like a lot of cars are local tho. Got a 15min ride to Unterloibl Ort, from where it was easy to get ride to Slovenia.

Our direction was Slovenia, Ljubljana. Nobody stopped. We stood there from morning until the afternoon and still no one. In the evening, we finally took a train.

There was no one going towards Slovenia or Croatia. Everyone was local people, and on top of that the gas station was under reconstruction. Only the McDonald's was open, but even there it was just locals.

Bad spot to go to Slovenia. Waited 2h in the evening and 1h in the morning. Asking people directly at the parking spot did not help either. The only good thing is you that you can walk out of the highway to the smaller roads by the back.

We waited in the bus station and someone took us to the entrance of Novo Mesto, really easy to hitchhike in Slovenia. People offer us coffee and drinks in the supermarket :)

There was space for the cars to stop and a guy took me to a better hitchhiking place(the gas station near the italy/slovenia border. I was prepared to wait for longer as the road was quite small and many cars were not going towards the border.

not a great spot to be dropped if you can avoid it. on a weekday in july there was mostly cars going to graz and south west austria. a few polish drivers going to croatia for holidays, as well as trucks staying the night. we hoped for a ride to slovenia but settled for a lift to klagenfurt where its easy to hitch to ljubljana.

Another attempt with a Villach/Slovenia sign, on a weekday, not many vans. First day waited 2 hours with no luck, second day was just about to give up when a Serbian guy (going to Serbia) took me. Be patient. There is a supermarket in the village 3 km north, u can use the tunnel to get to the other side of highway and there is a small road that goes to the village. When u get at Bundesstrasse, on your right, just where the forest ends and farm houses bedin, there is a very nice hunters tower where you can spend the nite and save time on pitching the tent
