What hitchhikers said along this route

“I walked here for 4 hours from the centre, because other spots did not exist before. But the spot was perfect. After 10 minutes a Slovak took me to Ljubljana and from there I got 5 minutes later directly a ride across Austria to my home”

“A lot of traffic but noone taking us to Rijeka, in the end we made a sign for Karlovač and got picked up. It’s on a crossroads near a pedestrian crossing, just next to the on-ramp for the highway. Nice runoff area for pickup.”
― Joachim, Fri 2025-08-15 · 45.76074, 15.90163
“Good spot! Its at the entry of the highway, but there is enough space to stop. Got a ride after 35 minutes with a man who works in Zagreb but lives in Slovenia. He took me straight to Ljubljana :)”

“Got lucky a guy bring us to the gas station after Slovenia border but there is not so much cars, mostly with Zagreb shields”

“We had to give up on this spot. We wanted to go to Graz (we had a sign) .There were too many croatian cars and not croatian cars were either full or were going to the opposite direction. I don't know if we were there at a bad time (10:40 - 11:40) or if it is just a bad spot but the result was the same. After that we went on to the highway and hitchhiked on the side. A guy going to Germany took u”

“A lot of tourists going back to Poland, Slovakia, Czechia and Austria. Lot of space for cars to stop. Also the gas station that is close has very nice staff. They gave me cardboard and a marker to write my sign.”
― Jamez, Sat 2026-09-05 · 45.76074, 15.90163
“Perfect spot on paper, but waited a long time to find anyone even willing to pull over. After over two hours with only two cars stopping and not going our direction we walked up to the highway, not very safe but took only minutes for a car to offer a lift to a petrol station close to the border”
― Breno, Mon 2026-10-19 · 45.76074, 15.90163
“Petrol station, direction Ljublana. Not very dense traffic.”

“A lot of drivers, even at night. Easy spot for Ljubljana and Italy.”
― Rafal, Sat 2023-05-06 · Odmorište Gradna - sjever
“Very easy to find a lift here. Either ask around or stand at the exit. We found a lady going to Munich who dropped us at Bled on the way”
