:excellent spot, I took bus 26 from near where I was staying and then walked along a path above the motorway until I reached a chain fence. This can then be followed down a hill for easy access to the petrol station without walking the whole way along the side of the road. I waited less then 15mins before a car picked me up. Best to start in the morning though, as traffic heading far will thin later in the day. (07/2016)
'''*Temporarily closed due construction works on highway (checked: 11 May, 2015)'''
April 2019: ''[[user:uncle_sam01|Uncle_sam01]] uses this spot regularly for rides towards Vienna and it's probably Take a tram 2 to the best in Brnostop "Modřice, Tyršova". Rarely waited more than 30 minutesAnd walk little bit back near the Unicorn fuel station. The highway isn't ideal (cars Cars are going very fast)here, however, but the gas station is great and theredon's always someone going towards Vienna. If not Viennat have much room to stop, then so you might try alternating between thumbing on the Austrian border is also another great spot. There's also a lot of people (especially Poles) going toward Znojmo road and then towards Germany, so this may also be good for Munichasking drivers who stop at the station.''
[[trash:Brno]]
Brno
,If your driver is not going into Brno, you can jump off either at the "Olympia" or "Avion" shopping centre on the motorway. From both you will find a free bus to central Brno.
=== From [[Olomouc]], [[Kromeriz|Kroměříž]] {{Dcz|1}} ===
'''If the driver continues to Prague''' jump off at OMV petrol station at the end of Brno (Starý Lískovec). There '''don't''' go though the appletree plantation - it is too complicated. Easier way is more hidden - go back next to the highway for about 300 m and then there is a path going under the motorway. Go left and you'll get to the town (and public transport) in 5 minutes.
==== First option ====
This spot is quickly and easily accessible from various parts of Brno with hitchability from average to good. Find trolley-bus 25, 26 or 29 and get off at stop "Čtvrtě". From the bridge you can see big road to Prague. Go down and after 200 m there is smaller petrol station. Next to it is great place to hitchhike just a few metres from pump machines where you can ask people. Unfortunately on this lane often parks some truck or two so you can only hitchhike cars leaving station or ask.
If you get stuck here, you can try your luck in another spot which is quite close to this one. Walk towards the highway and the bridge over your road, climb up the bridge and follow the road NW until you see traffic lights and you can stand right after the lights where you get people from both directions. However, it's really difficult for drivers to stop here for you to get in. It's much, much better to just go to second option, it's not that far away.
==== Second option ====
15 minutes walk from stop "Osová" - trams 6, 8 or trolley-buses 25, 29 (terminus). From tram stop go up to the bridge. From trolley-buses loop go over the bridge. There is bus stop, you can take bus 69 to stop "Čermákova" or continue this wide road 400 m to the end - crossroad with new houses behind. You can already see the motorway and petrol station. But turn right. After 350 m you are at the bus stop "Čermákova". Turn left (street Čermákova) and at the end you can see small tunnel under motorway. Just before tunnel on the left you can go up and after 300 m you are at OMV petrol station. In winter could be hard to get there.
==== Fourth option ====
Bigger petrol station Shell on the motorway near Popůvky. A bit further from Brno (3 km after the Third option) but almost all cars go to Prague or even further. Take bus 401 or 402 (↑↑) to the "Popůvky - Vintrovna" stop. Continue on the main road 850 m and there is the spot. You can also walk & hitchhike to this place from Bosnohy.
=== South towards [[Bratislava]](SK), [[Budapest]] (H) {{Dcz|2}}{{E|65}} ===
==== First option ====
Take bus number 67, or the free "Avion bus" (it goes from 9am till 10pm every 20/30 minute) that starts on the bus stop "Úzká", and get off at the commercial zone “Avion”. There is a petrol station (where you can shower and even sleep) along the motorway which is going to [[Slovakia]]. It's a big commercial zone with big shops. One of them has free internet access, it's the electrical shop before Ikea.This isn't the great greatest spot, but there just isn't any better, so don't expect any miracles. [[User:Ondercan|Ondercan]] would say that the average waiting time Asking around is close to 2h and there's always a lot of local traffic near probably crucial at this mallspot. The petrol station is on the parallel road to the highway that goes directly to Bratislava so there aren't actually many cars going to Bratislava but mostly local people stopping by after shopping. Also it's almost impossible to hitchhike from the exit of Avion too, Ondercan stood there more than 2h with Ideally get a sign with no success. In total Ondercan waited there more than 5h, when deciding trucker to go back and take the train. While hopping the train it's important you at least to remember that tickets are controlled twice, both after getting in the train and after entering Slovakianext MOL gas station (about 16km out).
==== Second Option ====
This is probably a much better one than the first option. Take bus 40, 48, 59, 67 or the free "Avion bus" and get off at Hněvkovského. Walk 450m in the direction the bus was going (if you took the bus from the city center). After passing a crossroads with traffic lights, you will see a gas station. Now you can choose whether you approach people that stop at the gas station or stand at the beginning of the fairly long driveway to it.
=== South towards [[Vienna]] (A) {{Dcz|52}}{{E|461}} ===
==== First option ====
Take the free bus from behind Tesco, at the tram 2 stop ''Ořechovská'', to the shopping center (''obchodni centrum'') Futurum. Once you are at at the shopping center Futurum, you will find a Tesco gas station, but most of the people there are just staying in town. From here you can walk couple of kilometres or use tram 2 to second spot. '''October 2017''': ''[[User:Kossabossa|Kossabossa]]: the place has low traffic and no one is going all the way to Vienna. It took us about 45 minutes to find a ride to a Shell gas station in Mikulov, from where it was really easy to find a ride to Vienna.''
==== Second option Unicorn fuel station ====Take a tram 2 to the stop "Modřice, Tyršova". And walk little bit back near the Unicorn petrol station. Cars are going very fast here, however, and don't have much room to stop, so you might try alternating between thumbing on the road and asking drivers who stop at the station.
==== Third option ====
There is a nice spot for hitchhiking just next to the tram 2 stop "Ústřední hřbitov" where you can hitch south to Vienna or just to the next petrol station. When you get off the tram just go on the main street and then turn right 100m and you will find a nice place to stop cars. Keep in mind that this spot is not on the main road so there's a litle smaller trafic.
==== Fourth option ====Mikulov is a nice town near the Austrian border with very slow and dense long-distance traffic. Take the bus 105 from the centre, Ústřední hřbitov or Novomoravanská stops all the way to Mikulov. The ticket is 14 CZK with ISIC, or 56 CZK (~2 €), you can buy it directly from the driver. Looking for a car going to Mikulov at the petrol stations in Brno is not as easy since many people only go to the nearby villages. It takes some time but from Mikulov you can get easy rides by standing on the roadside or asking around far beyond Vienna. [[user:Duffajfka|Duffajfka]] frequents this and used to find direct rides to places like Zagreb, Slovenia or Salzburg before the pandemic. === Northeast towards [[Prostějov]], [[Olomouc]], [[Ostrava]] , [[Katowice]] (PL) {{Dcz|1}}{{E|462}} <br />+ east towards [[Kroměříž]], [[Zlín]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}} <br />+ east towards [[Uherské Hradiště]], [[Trenčín]] (SK) {{Ncz|50}}{{E|50}} ===
==== First option ====
Both spots are probably better than Second option spot. [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Brno&action=edit§ion=11 Add more specific info please]
