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.”

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”

“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!”
