Busy gas station, should be no problem getting to Örebro and probably easy to get to Stockholm

Waited here with my buddy for more than 1,5h, it was maybe bc of the holiday they had. K would say good spot for going to “jonkoping” some truck driver stop, but wrong direction. Overall better than nothing

Four gas stations and a fast food place, not everyone is going far but plenty of cars to ask

Busy gas station, probably good for both directions

Not super many cars using this on-ramp and not too much space to stop but low speeds and only cars going to E4 south. Much better than the other spots in the area

Gave up and moved after a while, poor spot going south, cars way too fast

Good visibility and plenty of space to stop. Low traffic at some times of day

Very good but think the roundabout earlier is even better

For Kiruna this is not good, most cars continuing to Gällivare. You’re better off continuing into Gällivare and getting a ride from there. Rest stop across the road is a great camping spot

Cars going quite fast but visibility is good and there is space to stop. As far as Luleå goes this is pretty good. Probably not possible in winter though.

Great gas station to ask people, got a ride to Luleå very quickly

Side of the road not great, had better luck asking around at the gas station

I waited at the ramp for 2 hours and decided to get something to eat. I asked people in the restaurant, and got a lift quickly. In general I think it’s a good idea to ask the Swedes on gas stations, because they are not spontaneous enough to stop on the road, although they are very friendly. You will get lifts if you ask them so they have time to get to feel your vibe.

Sit on the fence for more visibility

Not a lot of people stopping. Got picked up by two Danes transporting a comically large cup of coffe on the back. Hopefully I can attach a picture for the community to laugh at haha.

A bit danagerous to sit in the middle of the high way this is why the raiting, but cars can stop on the lined triangle between 94 and E10.

Okay spot, three laned road, but the inner one is also used for parking so ok opportunities. Got dropped of at the ferry to Sweden!

Quiete a good spot towards Denmark and Sweden, unfortunately I arrived at 5 pm at Buddikate Ost and until I gave up at 8 pm I want able to get a lift towards the ferry in Puttgarden, quiet soon after arriving at the petrol station though I met multiple truck driver who would head towards Sweden the next morning (I thought that I would be able to catch a ride that evening so I didn't paided sufficient attention to this). After sleeping in my tent I got up the next morning and was able to catch a ride after waiting for two hours

Not great conditions, but trafic is low enough si people will stop. And it's not like there is any other options nearby. Got a ride to sweden in 5 min.

Got chased on my walk to the road by a guy who took me here on my way to Umeå, much easier to get rides here than in Sweden I think

―Bigdeidiot, October 2025

Not really a great spot, but it might be just Sweden. Got picked up by a nice elderly lady. Hitched during early morning.

Lazy to ask people so i stayed there and did not wait this long to find a ride directly to where i wanted in Sweden

Guy took me to a good spot in Malmö to go north. Recommended spot to go to Sweden.

Lot of truck drivers. Good for goteborg, helsingborg, trelleborg, ystad or other cities in sweden. Just ask around lot of polish and ukrainian drivers. Keep in mind that lot of drivers is waiting for the papers, it can take 10,20 minutes or 5 hour or like mine drive who took me 4 days but happy for me i was waiting around an hour

Great visilibity and a lot place for cars to stop even for trucks. Great spot for oslo and sweden. Truck driver took me to the border. Keep in mind that in this area theres very few cars so you can wait a while but theres no other option:) Solo male, thumb

A guy and a girl without a sign on a Thursday at noon. Seems to be a very good spot to go to Sweden. We wanted to go to Oslo, but we accepted the first ride that took us East of Malmö. We should have waited a bit longer to go further north though, as there must be a lot of people going everywhere in Sweden that pass through here, and Sweden is hard to hitchhike...

―JumpingRabbit, August 2025

Only little traffic to Sweden in the evening, but I got lucky with a tow truck

―Anonymous, August 2025

Good spot towards ventspils, also not much traffic after 7pm. Got picked by a truck driver going towards ventspils. Idk, maybe it's even possible to cross the ferry to Sweden with them if you ask kindly?

―Anonymous, August 2025

Waited quite a while in the hot sun with a sign. Good place to stop, but not always easy to hitch in Sweden. Finally got a ride with a guy who took me quite a bit towards the northwest. Male/summer

―Anonymous, August 2025

Good spot to head south from Alta. People can go longer distances to Finland/Sweden. Summer, male traveller

―Anonymous, August 2025

Male, Sunday evening in summer, going south to Sweden. Mostly local traffic, but this is a place where people pass from Norway/Finland driving down to Sweden. Also a gasstation and a store nearby. Didn't need to camp because an elderly couple took me late in the evening to Sweden, but I think there is plenty of opportunities to camp in the forest.

Big space on the side for cars to stop, all traffic towards Sweden going through. Also a tiny little cafe.

―friki, August 2025

Agree with the other review. Lots of cars going out of the highway, nobody going in direction Sweden. Got a ride of a local to a bit further, in a place where cars could stop on the side of the road.

By waiting near the exit with a sign, I was picked up by a German woman going to Frankfurt, heading back from her vacation in Sweden. Perfect timing.
