I was also aiming to go to Osvencim, but traffic is still local and I got little interactions. Got a ride to Wadowice, thumb.―AleksP

Work great, only downside is that if you want to get here from the city than you have to climb over the fence, the best is to do this in forest as in other case (like mine) you will likely be reprimanded and if you are unlucky staff might call the police (I was lucky and they didn't, only said to don't do it again)―Autostopeks

Nobody stopping plus most license plates are local so chances of going beyond Kraków aren't high―Autostopeks

One male 40+, a sign "Wroclaw", one small and ane big backpacks, a cloudy day (about to rain, but it didn't). Saturday. On my way from Budapest to Wroclaw.A very nice looking spot. After a petrol station, an exit 100-150 m extra lane, which gives loads of space to stop. Good visibility. Quite busy traffic. But I waited 2,5 h for a ride.
I started at 15:00.
At 15:30 a German girl stopped and said she was going to Wroclaw, but in 3 h. We exchanged the numbers. She left and I put my thumb again up.
At 15:40 a guy offered me a ride to Krzeszowice. 20 kms west and off the highway. I turned down his offer.
At 16:00 another (male) hitchhiker, going to Gliwice, joined me.
At 16:20 a car going to Kuźnia Raciborska stopped. 130 kms west but off the highway again. If it wasn't for the German girl I'd have taken the ride. But I turned it down. The other guy went with them.
At 16:45 another offer to Krzeszowice by a woman. Again I said "No" coz it was off the highway.
At 17:10 the German girl called asking if I was still waiting and at 17:30 she and her boyfriend picked me up and took me all the way to Wrocław.
It looks it's very hard to get on the highway from here. But it's not hopeless spot if you are willing to travel off the highway or wait long.

2 males waited for a bit but got picked up by a guy mid 50s left us near the metro, he told us it wasnt a good spot because it was hard for the cars to stop―senhorrato

Perfect spot to head north towards Warsaw. Use a sign though. There's a bus stop where the cars can pull over and even a pedestrian crossing with traffic lights you could abuse to your advantage if you're evil enough.―VeikkaK

Quite a good place to continue on the road outside Krakow - in the direction of Czech Republic/Slovakia―Moonhans

Great place to go towards Krakow. gas station + McDonald's -> a lot of potential drivers and easy to catch them for a talk.―Moonhans

During the night not so many cars/trucks, but still enough to catch a Ukrainian truck and sleep in his bed while he drove me to Krakow, where I wanted to stop. Others I asked were heading just to Wroclaw direction.―anettlee17

Many cars going slowly and leaving Krakow, lots of space for them to pull over at the bus stop but be careful because you have to stand on a slim patch of grass for drivers to see you. With a sign saying SK I got a ride to Nowy Targ by a guy going to Slovakia but not the right direction.―Arphile

Busstop on a highway ramp with shade. Local traffic but also cars going to the highway. Got a ride to gas station on the highway―Gember

Got a ride to Krakow in 5 minutes. Slow traffic and everyone heading for Slovakia is coming through here because the highway is not finished.―Gember

I believe most traffic is going to the Katowice area, but Krakow is not too hard either. As of august 2025 the hole is still there just before the woods that are close to the exit.―Arphile

Pretty unlucky. There was construction work and no one was going to Slovakia. Took a ride to Zakopane in the end―princessescharming

Quickly got a ride in our direction. We wanted to go to Slovakia but it didn't seem like anyone was going there. If you want to go to Zakopane it should be pretty easy―princessescharming
