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.

The main bus stop at the exit of Mojstrana, easy peasy!I met a French guy in my hostel, he had never hitched before, but we were going to Ljubljana on the same day, so we figured it could be fun if he tagged along! It was pouring down with rain, so we left our bags in the bus stop, and only darted out to stick our thumbs up when we saw headlights in the distance, before retreating back to the dry.
This worked wonders! Within 15 minutes we were in the car of Marco and his 90 year old mother, who loving gave us a lift to Jesenice, and offered us the first of a few umbrellas we’d be refusing that day.
Marcos mother didn’t speak any English, and my Slovene was sadly not good enough to understand her, but my suspicions were confirmed when upon us leaving the car, she proudly announced “BONNE VOYAGE!”

Great spot, I recommend to go a little bit further towards highway on the ramp. There is good space for cars to stop. I had a sign "A11 SLO" and literally first car stopped and took me to Radovljica.―Anonymous

It was raining and already dark so I just stayed on the station and ask drivers. One guy took me straight to Villach. I saw a lot of cars with SLO plates. In good weather and daylight probably it's better to stand on the exit from the parking, there is a lot of truck drivers who are taking a break on these parkings.―Anonymous

Most cars have no room because they are visiting their family in the balkans and people who go to Italy don’t take you. But if some one who drives to the balkans has space they are insanely kind.―Anonymous

Even if there is construction, the McDonald's is still open! The first truck driver I asked took me all the way to Wörthersee―Anonymous

Looong wait but I wanted to go past Villach and not to Italy so the cars who went my way were not that plentiful. Seems like half the cars drive to Graz direction and half to Villach.―Anonymous

Cars go quite fast but spot you from afar and have enough space to slow down; its right next to a bus station :)―Val

There's a quite good place for HH at the ramp in direction to Salzburg. There's a small place to stop the car safety.We were waiting there for 3 hours but it was really early in the morning (5-8 AM).

A bus station before small bridge over the street. Cars can stop before they go to Slovenia or Klagenfurt.―Anonymous
