Got lift to Brno, by a Polish couple, returning from Germany.(Two offers for Brno/Mikulovice in the meantime.)
No shade, there is small exit as utility road from the spot, not marked on map, great for drivers to stop there.
At the time not much traffic really, and only ~1/10 going for the highway exit.
I was wondering, why drivers seems so confused all the time.
And it's because of complexity of this exit and how the navigation is displaying it.
Many drivers taking wrong exit - instead for highway, they leave for Kollnbrunn.
There is another exit for highway so they don't need to return, it's forgiving, just adds a few more minutes to the route.
Not for you, loosing the valuable traffic.
So I would suggest, depending on traffic, try before roundabout on the exit road from the gas/parking lot, some 100m from this spot I guess, catching rather all traffic.
(Two drivers stopping with an offer confirmed me their confusion, one even circled the spot 2 times before exited right.)
Got there late at night walking from Wolkersdorf train station, (ticket cost is ~7€ from Praternsten).
Headlamp come handy.
Took me ~2hrs, with heavy backpack, from Prater to the spot.
It's thru woods but they have maintained network of patch roads for fencing and logging the wood out.
Go out of village, at the end before motocross/Rochuskapelle in the twist, there is pawed utility road. Walk it to the end and go straight to the forest, making it by the first triangle shaped path, ending nearby the highway again.
On OSM maps there is line alongside that road - that is the fence, so you can't go deeper to forest (it's to the left side after hitting the fence).
From there walk by the fence up to cell tower mast (there is no road visible on map, but as they build the fence, they have road for it, side by side), from here is a marked road again on map.
You'll pass by an overpass for wild animals above the highway.
A lots of wild boar (dozens), fortunately all I've met were on the other side of fence.
Yet entire area ground having marks from their activity so count on that they are with you all the time.
The gas station have cut thru the fence at the beginning, or you can walk up to second roundabout and there is open gate for cars.
Arrived late at night, so slept in forest near the first roundabout, area is freshly logged out so no bushes but few well placed trees for a hammock.

Got direct ride to Vienna, city center. Guy returning from trip in Croatia.With my stay, not much traffic, but I got there quite late, and it was end of the season.
Walked there from Kupljanovo train station.
From Zagreb to thumbing here it took me 1,30 min. (with really big backpack), ticket cost is 2€.
The gate through the highway fence was opened.
No visible lock (employees parking there, pathway is used daily).

This place sucks, we got a ride to brno after a full day and 2 nights sleep. First we ( 2 people) tried getting to prague or germany but no one from crech republic wanted to talk much or did not stop. Later we gave up on that and just tried to get anywhere but there was only people who could take us to vienna. There was a cool local bus driver that gave me some snacks and a drink. It is BIZAR how long this took felt like a fever dream. There is a nice camping spot at the water tank and easy to walk underneath the toilet gate at the macdonalds, fuck that genocidal company anyway. Wish you the best of luck this direction is kinda rough.―Anonymous

WHAT A LUCK! We got to the parking spot through a hole in a fence (no other way around), got hastled by police and then got a sandwich at the Viva. Its open till midnight and we headed out of there at 11 pm. Thought we were going to sleep somewhere around till morning, fortunately, my friend thumbed a car for fun right when we got out of the gas station and they took us right to our city! Great spot for the ride out of Vienna, its walkable distance to get there, if youre adventurous :)―Torysek

ONLY GOOD FOR NORTHERN TRAFFIC. Stood for an hour with a sign for Wien, but almost every driver signaled that they were headed north.―daniellorell

Fantastic location with almost all traffic heading south. Slow moving after the roundabout and plenty of space to stop.―daniellorell

just go along the road and ask around where most of the people are.i decided to do something stupid and went to Vienna by foot, which took me 14 hours, but at this place you get a ride just by existing. cross the border.

only a few PL/H/CZ cars passed and everyone ignored me. this roundabout is not a truly convenient place for drivers to stop, I would personally stay at the separate lane a bit earlier.―AleksP

in theory this is the best you got in order to escape the north of Vienna (hell)workday morning was very tough, but I persevered and reached Prague in 6 hours even with horrible luck.
please ask to take you to gas stations, direct rides to brno or prague are very unlikely.

just go down the road for 5 more minutes. there's more space to stop, more traffic and more visibiluty. at this point most cars are still grumpy austrian grannies who are driving to the shopping mall.―AleksP
