Many cars coming from the roundabout, they can only go towards south (Ljubljana, etc) there is also space for cars to stop a few meters down.

Technically really good spot cause a lot of cars come and go for a toilet break. Lots of families tho with full cars. Asked around for an hour until a sweet lady took us all the way to near bled and even stayed with us at the same camping which is quite outside the city! :D
You have to take a Bus towards Glanegg, walk 15 minutes, break in through the fence or climb (😅) and you are there.

Spot not easy to get to by foot. Lots of cars and caravans going both directions on the motorway. Got picked up by a nice irish couple on a roadtrip in their van.

No shade, but excellent space to pull over with good visibility. Lots of traffic to various destinations. Took a campervan to campground Šobec.

Good spot! I needed to wait an hour to find a ride to Graz, but many cars are passing and they often go a further distance. You can decide if you want to talk with people at the gasstation or stand before with a sign. I got a lift with an campervan (elderly couple from the UK).

Slovenia is a great country to hitchhike! Just after the traffic light were the cars not moving too fast, and there was plenty of space to stop at the bus stop. Got a ride straight to Bled after 10 minutes with two slovenians. It was really nice!

Got a ride in 10 minutes to my final destination PRAGUE. Luckiest hitch I've had. Its also just a generally good spot for going north. Go and ask around, you'll find someone quickly.

Took way longer to find a ride than expected. Lots of cars, but most of them full. Managed to get a ride to a better spot near the Austrian border

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.
