If you are hitching south, from Salzburg to Slovenia for example, and get a ride to Villach, you can try your luck at the blackhole called Rasthof Feistritz and wait something like the usual 3+ hours for a ride, or you could go an extra 5kms to the new Parkplatz/toilet just down the road which recently opened (2018). There is obviously less traffic there, but in one hitchhikers experience/opinion there is way more of a chance to get a ride!
''In August 2016, on the way to Italy we caught a ride directly to Venice in Villach. It took us 2-3 hours but admittedly we didn't spend the whole time asking around so it's possible it could've been quicker if we had tried harder. Then on our way back we got rescued after maybe half an hour from a dark, closed gas station and brought to a better spot and then in the early morning we only waited a few minutes before getting a ride to Graz.''
''In August 2016, July of 2022 on the our way from Munich to Italy Ljubljana, we caught a ride directly to Venice in Villach. It took us 2-3 waited 5+ hours but admittedly we didn't spend at the whole time asking around so it's possible it could've been quicker if we had tried harder. Then on our way back we got rescued after maybe half an hour from a dark, closed gas Maria Gailer bus station and brought to a better spot and then in the early morning we only waited a few minutes before finally getting a direct ride to GrazLjubljana.''
''in september 2019 I hitchhiked from this town with 0 experience and got a pick to Salzburg easily.''
