REALLY UNDERRATED SPOT!!! I waited 5 minutes just across the border on the Austrian side with a sign for Munich and got a ride with a Polish van driver going to Vienna. You can get really long distances here its a very commonly used border crossing from Switzerland to far away with lots of traffic.

I had to wait here because of construction but still I was getting all the traffic coming from Liechtenstein. Waited with a sign for Au SG and got a ride there with a cool Swiss person coming home from work.

Great spot with some space to pull over and lots of traffic towards Saint Gällen from the border. Met another hitchhiker here going the opposite direction! Got a ride to Saint Gällen using the other hitchhikers sign for Zürich with a German couple in 30 minutes.

Pretty quickly got a ride to the Swiss Austrian border in Lustenau. Lots of space to pull over but some cars go fast and there are 2 lanes. Still I got a ride with an Austrian person who was coming back from Dornbirn after composting his rotten fruit.

I was heading west towards Switzerland with a sign CH. Lots and lots of traffic and some space on the roundabout but many people are going different directions or not willing to take you. Eventually I made a sign for Feldkirch and was switching between the 2 when I got a ride (with the Feldkirch sign) with a lovely Austrian couple going to Germany!

A lot of traffic, took us up north.

Most people were going south because there is only one gasstation....

Excellent spot! Plenty of traffic going in multiple directions. I succeeded in getting an Austrian who was going to Bregenz to take me across the Swiss border. I even turned down three other offers within the 17 minutes to closer destinations. Good luck:)

There is bus bay and tree giving you a shadow while you are there and that's where positives ends. For two and a half hour literally nobody was stopping except for busses

Main road for traffic towards Liechtenstein, bus stop + red light so cars can easily / have to stop

Horrible spot with basically no cars. I got really lucky someone was going towards Switzerland where I was going near Liechtenstein (the second car). Would not recommend this spot though.

Had a sign FL for Liechtenstein right next to the petrol station entrance where there was plenty of room to stop. No one stopped except one person going in the opposite direction. Eventually I got a ride with an Austrian living in Dornbirn to a petrol station near the town on the motorway. Ok spot but mainly locals and Germans. Difficult to find someone going south.
