this place was for me way more succesful to go north than the one inside the ring. There is a bus going very close to here so it is accessible.―Ikael

Lots of traffic, and a good spot for people to pull over. Stand before the side street entrance―Anonymous

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!

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

Waited 10 min for a ride to ljubljana with an LJ sign on a saturday at 8am. There is a good space for people to stop at the bus stop.―HHg

mostly local drivers but still a good number of slovenian plates. even at 7pm we had two cars stop for us, the first going to villach and the second to ljubljana, getting a lift earlier is probably even easier! we talked to drivers at the station for a little bit but we had better luck standing below the streetlight in front of the station with a sign for ljubljana.―Leslie

There is a street going to the right where cars can stop. For direction Maribor it's good as everyone is on the right hand lane already. Need a sign!―friki

Great spot towards Maribor (MB), Celje (CE) and Graz (Austria). Stand next to the highway sign, it's a very popular spot. Arrive there by taking bus 6 to station "Smelt" (Direction Crnuce), from there continue straight and you will see the highway on your right.―Anonymous

going to Austria via this place is totally senseless! I was there over 2.5 hours, then a car stopped and I couldn't care less where it was going., I just wanted to get in at any cost...―ESko

Good place - allot of cars - not enough place( a car blocks the road). I was hitchhiking to Zagreb(Croatia). Got a ride to Novo mesto in 30 min(sunday morning). From a highway gas station Dol, na Griču,...you can continue with other drivers. For Maribor and Vienna, I would recommend a bus station at the end of Šmartinska cesta.―Bojslo

As I revisited the place to hitchhike to Celje few days ago I wouldn't recommend the place any more as I did in the comment before. The place isn't safe for a car to stop. A lot of them are speeding and if one car stops they can cause a road block or an accident.Since I saw I couldn't get a ride there I went to a personally favourite place at the end of Šmartinska street. Bus number 2 - last stop.
