THIS PLACE SHOULD NOT BE ON HITCHWIKI. We went there - super difficult - clime through a fence directly into the highway. BUT It's illegal to hitchhike on highway in Austria. Tried to hitchhike for 5 minuttes and then went to the start of the highway where the police came. Someone had called the police on us. Luckily we had gotten of the highway. Ended up after almost 2 hours to get a 20 minutes ride by a drunk guy. AUSTRIA is not the place to hitchhike.―Anonymous

Do not try to come here. Unless ready to face the police or highway services. :)We just got there, happy that we found a spot (not easy to get there) but the second we started hitchhiking, a car from ASFiNAG (highway services) pulled over telling us kindly to go away since it is a highway and recommending us to go to the roundabout (unexpected recommendation by them, but that roundabout is not considered a highway.. that was nice of them) so we went to the roundabout and waited an hour there to get our ride to Klagenfurt

Everyone goes to Vienna!! (Saturday morning, two guys, sign Graz)We asked around, hitchhiked with a sign... About 20 cars would be willing during those 3 hrs to take us to Vienna.
So recommendation would be to take anything, or not come here in the first place if heading to Graz.
I was here before solo, and had a different experience (read below)

We got sent here by ASFiNAG (highway services in AT) after unsuccessfully going to hitchhike at the exit from the roundabout (which is already a highway) and after some waiting time they drove around again and gave us a wave and a thumbs up - so this spot is approved 😅👍🏼It is possible to stop cars going from all directions, enough space on the roadside to stand and to pull over.
A bit tricky if you are going to SLO/KL, because the roundabout lanes are the 2nd and 3rd.. if going direction Germany, then it's great, it's the 1st lane closest to you.

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.―Anonymous

We were dropped here on Tuesday 4pm and didn’t catch anything till Wednesday 3pm. Spot looks good but Austrian drivers are terrible for hitchhiking, everyone I spoke to was looking at me strangely and didn’t want to talk at all. The only way to get out of here are foreign drivers.―Mikolaj

We have a sign with "Graz" and we stay here maybe 20mins. I think the best spot in Vienna to this direction―Anonymous

Good spot, plenty space for cars to stop, but they are going pretty fast. We had sign "Wiena" and after 43mins nice grandma took us. You can get there trough the hole in fence we made, Its almost directly above the bridge. Its little bit tough to get there, but you can manage it somehow, if you have a will―Hesni

We were two guys, nice spot, but less traffic with a lot of families heading to vacation. Luckily we managed to hitchhike to Poreč. There are toilets and gas station nearby.―Hovnosrac

At the rastplaz, there is a road barrier. It can be opened, but when we were there, it was closed, so there was no option to hitchhike. We ended up sleeping at the place in the tent and it was working well.―jchymski
