It’s not really a spot I would recommend. Quiet little traffic and no good spot to stand or hang around. I decided for the Gasstation at the beginning of the stop. Sitting/ standing next to the entrance. Quiet frustrating to wait 4h. Was about to give up but then a lovely Hungarian Coupple took me all the way to Budapest.If your there: don’t give up! Talk to people and make a sign. Gasstation is open 24h. To stand at the entrance or exit didn’t work for me, but try it. Started at 13:00 with nearly no cars at the Gasstation. Got picked up at 17:00 with more traffic coming.

Cars pass slowly and there is some grass to sit. No shade. After 30min I got picked up (after changing my sign to ‚25km M5‘ instead of Serbia). Still got 200km. I‘d recommend this spot over the one below.―GermanyToIndia

I waited two hours but it was a low traffic day and eventually there was some works on the gas station. Definitely the best place to go west ! Got a ride to Leipzig. If you really want to go to Germany it's completely doable there's a lot of Germans. Actually more than Austrians haha. But you have to talk to them. I waited almost two hours at the exit of the gas station then I decided to talk directly to the gas station and I was offered also a ride by a bus driver for free to Graz at the same moment I asked Hungarian couple with a dutch plate, they were going at the North of Holland but we agree to let them drop me at Leipzig. Thanks Catarina and Zaly :)―cavalierrustique

There is good space, truck drivers can see u when stop for chech. Also there is space for car drivers to stop. 2 Ukrainian guys take me a ride to Budapest center. Trafic is not really insane.―Trio525

Difficult to get a ride to Budapest. Probably best to look for Slovak plates and get a ride to “ASFINAG Raststation Göttlesbrunn”. There you’ll see more Hungarian plates.―spinach3

Not a lot of room for cars to stop but traffic not intense so ok. Got a lift to Budapest after using the thumb for 3 minutes! Thanks Olshi. You can also try to get closer to the highway from here I guess. Cheers guy―cavalierrustique

I tried asking drivers here if they could take me to Hungary. But I was very tired. So I just wrote a sign and someone picked me up.―Okubobrakurbober

I can see how it would be a good spot but a lot of fast moving traffic makes it more about luck for me. Saw some A and CZ license plates but no stoppers―Xavybaby

Ni estis du teamoj de "tramprennen" provantaj atingi nian celon por tiu tago. Tie ni provis la ŝildon de benzinstacio. Ĝi fine funkciis.―Jurobola

Ni estis du teamoj de "tramprennen", ni, "la amerikaj knaboj", kaj Die Schleichmichels, provante atingi nian celon por tiu tago. Tie ni provis la ŝildon dum 6 km, por almenaŭ atingi pli bonan trafikcirklon. Aliaj teamoj ricevis pli bonajn veturojn de ĉi tie pli rapide, sed multe pli frue. Ni devis provi iun ajn strategion, kiu ekigus nin.―Jurobola

It isn't a great spot but doable apparently. Was yoused bzw. team roadkill gourmet in Tramprennen 2025. Lift straight to the finishline―waldlaeufer

Thumbing didn't work here. So we tried to ask around. Though this is tough as a non-Hungarian speaker. But that worked for us―LJIsTooShort

Thumbing at the exit worked well. We got a lift on the M3.―LJIsTooShort
