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 Croatian coast for hollidays. 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(direction Vižmarje), 25(dir. Medvode), or 8 (dir. Gameljne) from the city centre in direction of Vižmarje. You can hitchhike at the stop, but make sure you have a sign. Even better spot is a tunnel about 500 m ahead. In that tunnel there is an extra lane for cars to stop and you can catch cars going from 3 different directions into the tunnel, unlike the bus stop, where you only cover one direction. [[File:Help Edit.jpeg|right|thumb|334px|Hitchhiking spot right after the tunnel, direction : Austria]] To get there keep walking away from the centre and turn right at the traffic light where the cars leave the street and join the highway. The signs are visible from the stop. After you turned right you should see the tunnel. It is good to start at the end because cars have a lot of time to see you. 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 hitchiking hitchhiking there. There is also a petrol station at the Radovljica-exit (right before Bled) which is useful for getting into Austria. Another option is to get dropped at ~25km from Šentvid, there's a great hitchhiking spot [https://goo.gl/maps/d4kMoNHzbEYPRT9d7 here] on a ramp where there's enough room for a car to stop (GPS 46.267470, 14.339623).

From the city centre (Dunajska cesta, Slovenska cesta) take the bus number 6, 1, 1D (direction Dolgi most - last stop) or 6B (dir. Notranje gorice), to bus stop "Dolgi Most". You will be dropped off on a large parking lot right next to a motorway bridge. There is also a Bicike(lj) (bike rental) station nearby, if you prefer it to taking the bus. On the opposite side of the road, there is a busy motorway entrance with a great hitchhiking spot where cars can easily see you and stop safely. Slovenians use this ramp to go to the seaside, so waiting times should not be too long. If your destination is [[Venice]] or further, the easiest way is via Nova Gorica(town on the walkable distance from Gorizia, Ita): use sign GO and ask to be dropped at the service area on the border. For [[Trieste]] it doesn't work well with TS sign - best option might be to use [[Koper|KP]] sign and then ask the driver to drop you off at Kozina exit (go right in the crossroads after toll booths). It's only 3 km from the border and on the main Rijeka-Trieste road. If your destination is Rijeka, take also rides going to Postojna or further west. Get out at Postojna exit and walk across the highway from there (use the bridge). There is a good spot to hitchhike southwards just few hundred meters after the bridge. '''Option 2: Rest stop Barje - North (Sever)''' Catch bus 9 to bus stop "Pot Na Rakovo Jelšo" and go straight to direction where bus went follow Cesta Dveh Cesarev street (dont turn the left side where bus went after 100 metres). Asphalt road will bring you to Barja rest stop woth gas station. Alot of cars and trucks are going to Italy from here, easy to get a ride west. Just ask people at the gas station.There is shower in fuel station price 3 eur and places for wild camping around. '''Option 3: Fuel station on the road to highway''' Near the crossing of streets: "Pot Na Rakovo Jelšo" and "Barjanska Cesta" there is a fuel station with a lot of cars heading towards Koper.

If your destination is === Southeast towards [[RijekaNovo mesto]], take also rides going to [[PostojnaZagreb]] or further west. Get out at Postojna exit and from there walk across the highway (use the bridge[[Croatia]]). There is a good spot to hitchike southwards just few hundred meters after the bridge.{{Aat|2}} ===

=== Southeast towards [[Novo mesto]]This service area is on the Ring around Ljubljana and is very well-served by a lot of long-distance drivers. To get there take a bus number 1 or 1B in direction of "Dolgi most" from the center. Get off the bus on the stop "Mestni Log" and walk back in the direction of the highway. When you reach the overpass look for a very small and steep pathway on your right, [[Zagreb]] ===starting next to the overpass. Descend down to the fence, turn right and walk a few metres untill you reach an unlocked door. When you're on the other side of the fence, you should already be able to see the rest stop. Follow the pathway for another 100 m or so and there you are. There is a shower for 3€ and places for wildcamping around.

Hitchhiking in this direction seems to be more difficult comparing * [[User:MartinJ888|MartinJ888]] August 2022: Works very well. The door is still unlocked! Took us about 1 hour to other directionget a ride, asking people. You have two options to follow this route:

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 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 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 meters, you'll get to the resting area. Hitchhiker *[[User:Looking for StuJackMcJackJack|Looking for StuJackMcJackJack]] discovered that bus 1 will drop you by the side of the golf course at what appeared to be the last August 2023: This gas station and has been demolished and people rarely stop before returning to townhere, avoid this place. No problem hopping the fences and crossing the course away from the busy motorway edge. 2. You can go to the The on-ramp of the motorway at the edge of the city. Not many cars go in this direction, and beside the ones that do usually do not enter the motorway here - this Lidl on-ramp mostly serves inter-urban traffic, so you might have to wait Pot Rdečega križa is a lot of time20min walk away from Mestni Log bus station.

Trains are scheduled at:#06:35 #08:15 - That's the entrance people from Ljubljana would use to enter the highway going south, so this train can take spot might be less suitable for long distance picks, but perfect to get you as far as Belgradeto Novo Mesto.#14:45#18:35

It is possible 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 sleep wait a bit longer.
