Waited 2h in total. A very kind lady took us way out of her way to up to the highway past Bakar. (Thank you so much<3). Not a good place at all, we just got lucky. everyone were locals and were pointing to highway so find a way to get up there...―Anonymous

(direction Rejika) not the best spot but it is doable. after 1 hour a group of germans in a van picked me up. it is a bit hard for cars to stop but they see you from far.―Anonymous

many tourists coming from Austria, Germany, with no Space, a Ukrainian dad with his children picked both of us up (m/22) we definitely recommend trying in the morning till afternoon, we waited 3hrs from 18:30 - 21:30 the day before and slept in the woods nearby, the next day it took us 25min to get picked up―just2chillguys

Nice spot. There is a place for cars stop as they ride through gas station. Longer wait time; people going to nearby villages north short distance, or due to a lot of tourism and people having full cars.―116226

The bus stop after the roundabout is the best spot if you're going from Pula to Rijeka, many cars going even in the evening and the highway to rijeka starts soon. Two cars stopped for me, but the first one offered me a ride to the airport, it wouldn't have been a good choice to take that ride though as most ppl from the airport are going back to Pula.―Anonymous

Mostly fully packed family cars going on holidays. We were two men (czech.asian and ukrainian) hitchhiking to Rijeka. The beat way to get a ride was to cold approach drivers stopping at the petrol station. There a lot of traffic tho.―Anonymous

Many cars going to Rjeka, Pula and Zagreb, not many going south. Also lots of Romanians and Bosnians, but most cars don’t have a whole lot of space, so better for solo travelers. Got a ride to Zagreb after asking someone with the right numberplate. Nice and helpful staff at the gas station―Anonymous

Got a ride with the mayor of Malinska on Krk almost immediately at the traffic light.A bit further to the back at the train station, the cars already seem to be going to fast.

Not mutch traffic, but relatively many people stop, but more go towards Pula. Got a ride right into the center of Rijeka.―Anonymous

First tried it for some time at the roundabout a bit up the road, but a lot of cars were going to the shop shortly after it, so I tried it right after the shop and soon some Uzbek guys stopped and took me to a train station further south.―Anonymous
