In most cases hitchhiking there is quite easy. Czech Republic is a transit country with a dense traffic on the main roads. Along with the native drivers you can find there many drivers (especially truck drivers) from near-by countries. Local truck drivers are really friendly; young private car drivers often take two hitchhikers at a time, and many experiences show that Czechs understand hitchhiking excellently and often take hitchhikers several kms out of their route just to bring them closer to a better hitchhiking spot or their final destination. That works both for good and bad weather conditions. Older drivers usually speak only Czech, sometimes some Russian and more seldom German. Younger drivers usually have at least basic level of English. There is an assumption that for a young couple or two girls hitchhiking might go easier.

When hitchhiking on regional roads make sure you are at a spot that is perfectly visible to the drivers - in summertime there are many over-speeding motorcycle drivers.
