Lots of cars and good place to stop.We were there on a Saturday afternoon and nobody took us for like 3,5 hours.
Most of the people go to the shopping center.

Looks like a good spot, cars drive 50 kmh and can pullover on the bus stop. However, it took me 30 minutes until a car stopped that brought me to Jesenice. Lots of fuel tourists at the gas station.―Anonymous

I usually like to avoid being dropped off at parking lots with toilets but no other infrastrucre, like this one. But due to a planning mistake I had to be dropped off here.And I must say, I'm positively surprised! Despite low traffic, I found a ride past Ljubljana within 10 minutes because a really friendly Austrian dude started helping me out by asking around for me.

Not crowded, but somehow managed to find a ride super quickly because a friendly Austrian guy asked around for me while I was trying some other cars. The people who took me drove a Tesla and wanted to drop me off in Ljubljana but ended up driving me much further to the exact location I needed to be.―Kartenhouse

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!”

Undoubtedly a good spot to go to Austria or Ljubljana, as the first four cars that stopped were going to one of these.The is the bus stop for Jesenice hospital, and surprisingly most of the cars that stopped were the ones coming from the hospital road, not the traffic lights.
Eventually, Danno gave me a lift to Mojstrana, dropping me right at the front door of my hostel, and giving me some wonderful hiking recommendations whilst I was there! (Notably, Slap Peričnik in the winter!!)

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.―mandat

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.―mandat

A bit of traffic there, people are a bit hesitant to pick up, but we went front of the entrance to the raststatte and got picked up 5 min after it, cause there was enough space for people to see us and stop―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
