Really nice spot, cars going to Maribor are in right lane. I was hh in early morning so the traffic was really chill.

I was on my way to the bridge and someone stopped before i got there. Not the best place necause it's a bus stop, buy still the best location going south.

Hitchhiked from here to get to Villach, Ana amazing spot where the only direction is Austria so you can get to Villach quite quick. Lovely man from Kosovo drove me straight to the station.

Although this spot seems hard to get to at first (you have to take a bus, walk and then jump a fence), it is worth it. There was a lot of truckers resting, asked two croatian guys where they were going and they took me right to the slovenia-croatia border.

We got there on Saturday around 6 p.m. Two hours later, only a few cars had arrived. The drivers said they were heading to Austria/Slovenia. It was dark after 8 p.m., so we went to pitch our tent (you have to climb the hill at the station; it's very safe there). In the morning, we hitchhiked in about an hour, but traffic was a bit heavier. You can charge your phone at the point! I stayed there because I knew it could be worse at the border. Good luck to everyone!

Lot of people willing to take us, but everyone was going to Vienna or Linz, we wanted to go to Graz or Slovenia or somwhere west. After 1.5h we got lift to Italy.

We waited there for about two minutes with a sign saying “Ljubljana, Graz, Vienna,” and after two minutes, a man from Slovenia with Mercedes picked us up and drove us over to Ljubljana.

Maybe it was the rain, but this was dead.
The spot is good in theory, it’s the first services after the Austrian border, and it’s easy to reach from Jesenice. Our walk from the train station was a couple of kilometres, but the underpass and service road maybe it very easy. Adding to that the both the gate to the construction site, and the subsequent one to the services itself were both unlocked, we thought we were in for a treat! (Despite being soaked through to the skin.)
Then when we got there, disappointment set it. In was next to silent, and all the traffic was Austrian. Oops.
There was nowhere good to stand in the rain, so we resorted to asking, and after a few firm NEINs, we finally met Rosemary.
She had never taken a hitcher before and neither her nor her husband spoke any English. The turning point however, was when she learned I spoke Spanish, and decided I’d make some good practice for her on the way!
So there we were, two French people soaked to the skin, in the back of a brand new Austrian Merc, speaking Spanish, to an Austrian, on her way to the dentist in Slovenia.
If this isn’t why we hitch, I don’t know what is!

a romanian trucker offered me a lift. he just started his shift and would have taken me all the way to italy, however i decided to avoid it and headed to slovenia over germany, hence he dropped me on aire de ambrussum

Not so many cars, but high possibility they go to Ljubljana or that direction. We wrote a sign “LJ”. Be careful, in Slovenia the license plates are not always as they are. Nice and helpful people around.

A lot of people from Slovenia work in Austria. We (2) asked a guy with a Slovenian license plate and took us directly to gas station next to Maribor which was good spot for our next ride to Ljubljana.

First car accepted me.
You can take train from Zagreb to Kupljenovo after that 20 min walking .keep in mind that you have to cross the highway to the opposite side if you are going towards Slovenia, when I was there there wasn't much traffic, January morning weekday

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.
