Hitchhiking in this direction seems to be more difficult comparing to other direction. You have two options to follow this route:[[File:Hhspottowardszagreb.jpg|right|thumb|334px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: Zagreb (option 2)]]1. You can also try your luck at the service area "Barje", in direction of Zagreb. This service area is on the Ring around Ljubljana ==== Fuel station and is very well-served by a lot of long-distance drivers. To get there take bus number 1 or 1B in direction Mestni Log from the center. Go off one stop before last, called "Koprska". Continue straight (the bus takes a turn just before the stop "Koprska" - don't follow it, go straight on!) on the street Cesta v Mestni log, after 2 minutes you will cross a bridge over a small river. Continue straight and cross the motorway over the bridge, and big truck parking on the left side the service area is about 500 m away. There is a golf course between you and the service area, which you can cross by climbing its fences (not too high) if the personal allows you, which hasn't always been the case. If they don't, you should take an immediate left directly after crossing the highway (you're still on the bridge at that point), descending to the guardrail. You are now between the golf course's fence and the highway, which is quite a narrow path at some points. After a few hundred metres, you'll get ====Catch bus 9 to the resting area. Hitchhiker [[User:Looking for Stu|Looking for Stu]] discovered that bus 1 will drop you by the side of the golf course at what appeared to be the last stop before returning to town. No problem hopping the fences Pot na Rakovo jelso and crossing the course away from the busy motorway edge. 2. You can go straight to the on-ramp of the motorway at the edge of the city. Not many cars go in this direction, and the ones that do usually do not enter the motorway here - this on-ramp mostly serves inter-urban traffic, so you might have to wait a lot of time. From the city centre (Slovenska cesta, where bus stop "Pošta") take bus line 3 in direction of "Rudnik" went follow Cesta dveh cesarev street (south), and get off at the final stop. In front of you there will be dont turn the motorway entrance, which will be a turn leftside where bus went after 100 metres).

You could also sleep near Sservice area "Barje", in direction of Zagreb. This service area is on the Sava River, it's Ring around Ljubljana and is very well-served by a bit far lot of long-distance drivers. To get there take bus number 1 or 1B in direction Mestni Log from the train stationcenter. Go off one stop before last, but it's unlikely that anyone will bother youcalled "Koprska".

Continue straight and then cross the motorway over the bridge, and on the left side the service area is about 500 m away. There is a golf course between you and the service area, which you can cross by climbing its fences (not too high) if the personal allows you, which hasn't always been the case.

== Internet ==November 2017 - Easy to get to the spot via golf course (metal gate slides open), also jumping the fence no problem. There were two of us and it was impossible to get a ride, slow traffic coming through. We asked all truck drivers but they were concerned with the border crossing. This was a Monday morning 9am we waited until 2pm. There one person that suggested we should HH from Vic being a popular spot for HHers. We couldn't really find the spot on the map, so gave it a miss. I think if you are one person this spot is okay.
There is free ==== On-ramp of the motorway at the edge of the city ==== Not many cars go in this direction, and the ones that do usually do not enter the motorway here - this on-ramp mostly serves inter-urban traffic, so you might have to wait a lot of time.

Traffic was quite thin but after about 20 minutes of the train stationthumbing at this place, right before the tracks, there is we got a direct ride to '''Zagreb'''. It should be noted that we first also tried going a tourist information computer which can bit past this point to hitch to '''Rijeka'''; one driver stopped and told us it would be used for free internet surfing by clicking in a very long day taking that route, with drivers only going village to village all along the way and strongly suggested we take the search tab, typing longer route through Zagreb. From what your looking forI've seen, and finding it in the results (there is no URL bar provided)I think he was right.

'''Ljubljana''' is the capital of [[Slovenia]], one of the smallest and nicest capitals in [[Europe]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
Hitchiking out of Ljubljana is relatively easy, in all directions, Standing on the ''Autostrada'' (Slovenian: ''Avtocesta'', abbr. ''AC'' on road signs) on-ramp.
=== Northeast towards [[Maribor]], [[Graz]], [[Vienna]] ([[Austria]]), [[Hungary]] ===__TOC__
From the main street, west of the train station (Slovenska cesta, Dunajska cesta), take buses 6, 8 or 11 in direction north. Get off at the stop "Smelt", at the "World Trade Center" tower. Walk further on towards the motorway, then right after the fountain. You will see the road forking, the left lane going down to the motorway, the right lane going higher up. Stand with your sign '''in the middle''' between the two lanes. Even though it might look a bit strange, this is the most common spot and it's easy for drivers to see you and there's enough space for one car to safely stop there.
Direction north-west there is the motorway E61/A2 towards [[Kranj]] through the Karawanken Tunnel (Slovenian: ''Predor Karavanke'') or over the pass over the border to [[Villach]] (slov.: ''Beljak'') in [[Austria]] and further on on the Tauern-motorway to [[Salzburg]] and over to [[Germany]]. It is the way that is used by most of those numerous Germans that go to the [[Croatia]]n coast for holidays.
This motorway E61/A2 starts from the Ljubljana bypass. The best way to join this motorway is from the street Celovška cesta, at the bus stop Šentvid(stand in the corner before the bus stop!!). You can get Get there easily by taking bus number 1, 25, or 8 from the city centre in direction of Vižmarje. You can hitchhike at the stop, but make sure you have a sign. If people who pick you up don't go as far as you like, you can get a lift as far as the first "Petrol" gas station on the highway (17km away) or the former toll station Torovo and keep hitchhiking there. There is also a petrol station at the Radovljica-exit (right before Bled) which is useful for getting into Austria. NOTE: May 2017. Good spot, got a ride to the first gas station on the motorway in 3 minutes with a sign for Kranj (KR). From there another ride all the way to Salzburg.
=== South or west towards [[Koper]], [[Nova Gorica]], [[Rijeka]], [[Pula]], [[Italy]] ===
==== Fuel station and very big truck parking on highway ====
Catch bus 9 from the centre to the last stop, Pot na Rakovo jelso. Head away from the overpass and the highway; just after the small gas station on your left is the street Cesta dveh cesarev. Turn left and follow this residential street until you see the parking lot with all the trucks. There is a path at the beginning of the field, near the trees. Don't waste time trying to thumb a ride, you will have to speak to people directly. Many of the truckers are heading towards Trieste or into Germany/Austria.
There is a shower in the gas station for €3.
==== Ramp on enter to highroad, very short and small place ====
[[File:DSCI0054.JPG|right|thumb|334px|Hitchhiking spot ''Dolgi most'']]
From the city center (Dunajska cesta, Slovenska cesta) take bus number 6 or 6B in direction south, till the stop Dolgi most (last stop in case of #6), which is just after big crossroads with motorway signs, before the bridge above the road. Go back to the crossroads and you will see the entry lane into the motorway. There will also be an entry to a parking of a small house, stand on the side there with your [[signs|sign]] (you will see where everybody else stands...).
