Quiet Saturday, but a Slovenian Woman driving to München took me to the last gas station before München.

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.

Maybe it was the rain, but this was dead.
The spot is good in theory, it’s the first services after the Austrian border, and it’s easy to reach from Jesenice. Our walk from the train station was a couple of kilometres, but the underpass and service road maybe it very easy. Adding to that the both the gate to the construction site, and the subsequent one to the services itself were both unlocked, we thought we were in for a treat! (Despite being soaked through to the skin.)
Then when we got there, disappointment set it. In was next to silent, and all the traffic was Austrian. Oops.
There was nowhere good to stand in the rain, so we resorted to asking, and after a few firm NEINs, we finally met Rosemary.
She had never taken a hitcher before and neither her nor her husband spoke any English. The turning point however, was when she learned I spoke Spanish, and decided I’d make some good practice for her on the way!
So there we were, two French people soaked to the skin, in the back of a brand new Austrian Merc, speaking Spanish, to an Austrian, on her way to the dentist in Slovenia.
If this isn’t why we hitch, I don’t know what is!

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!!)

Twenty minutes on a very silent road, most traffic goes up to the motorway, and this road runs parallel, so it’s mainly local traffic.
Eventually I got a ride from Edin, an 18 year old Slovene rally enthusiast who thought he was the driver from the French movie “Taxi”. He got me to Jesenice in record time, driving at a heart stopping 160kmh near enough all the way.

A lovely little spot, right on the exit of a roundabout. Stood there on an early February morning for 16 minutes before Andrei gave me a ride to Lesce in his white van.
Also a huge thank you to the three lovely old men who decided to stop for a chat whilst I was waiting, who were very patient with my broken Slovene.

Most traffic goes to Lublana. I had a sign with Zagreb on, but it can be really difficult to get someone further than LJ.

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.

If you want to go in the direction Austria/Jesenice - this is very difficult spot, I stayed there for 2 hours, tried out several signs, at the end I got a short ride to the next rest stop. Going south is great though, got several cars to stop for me, but rejected.
