“It is a gas station for both ways, Viena or Brno, but the majority of drivers that stops there are comming TO the Czechlands. So if you are here and wanna go the other direction, just find a car to Vienna (asking) first.”

“A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, ”
