1) Take the tramway #4 or #13 to direction ''Liebenau'' and get out at the station ''MurparkDr Lister Gasse''.

:(''Tried'':) [[User:ESko|Esko]] says: This is not the best place, since there are three lanes on this road, the two inside lanes are for cars going out of Graz and the third is mainly for buses, so in most cases the driver who wants to ==== Asfinag Rastplatz rest stop needs next to cross at least one line. ESko tried this spot last year (2015) and had to wait over one hour until he luckily got a lift. This year (2016) he headed the same way and found the previous bus station - Dr Lister Gasse - much better. It took only 10 minutes till he got a car to Vienna, since there is plenty of space to stop and drivers can see you from faraway. Take the tramway #4/13 and get off at Dr Lister Gasse.airport Flugafhen Graz ====

2) If you like it more to ask people at the petrol station directly you can go with the Tram number 6 from jakominiplatz Train to Schulzentrum StKalsdorf Graz Bahnhof than walk 3. Peter and from there you take the bus 72 5 km to "messendorf heimgarten"Mein HOLTER Bad Ausstellung Premstätten. wlak along the street 200m more Asfinag Rastplatz rest stop and you find two gas stations. Loads Agip Unterpremstätten fuel station is on opposite site of people go E59 highway (there to buy cheap gas because the highway is just a little bit farer along the street.small distance between them)

<i>(<b>Note:</b> "If you ever get stuck here at night, know that if you cross to the other side and turn right, along this path you'll come across a metal staircase where I made home for the night on the lowest level (though it doesn't give full protection from wind/rain, also can get quite cold, so having a sleeping mat is preferred), and also bought food from the petrol station about a 2 min walk away. "</i>[[User:Chillion|Chillion]]) ===== Personal experiences Spot 1B: Webling roundabout - emergency lane (illegal place) =====:"I found the spot pretty tricky, and waited nearly 2hrs for a lift. Cars go fast and there is a merge right in front of the shoulder, which makes pulling over tricky. Also you get all the traffic to Vienna at the same spot. [...] Also beware of ending up at the raststation at Gralla, in summer it is mainly families with their cars full, you might get stuck there for hours." - [[User:Martinsltopf|Martinsltopf]], July 2015

2) Take a train to Graz Webling ([https://wegfinder.at/ wegfinder] Android app worked great to find a connection), follow railroad south and turn left (east) onto Schwarzer Weg. Follow Schwarzer Weg for another ~500m, taking the left when the road forks, passing a neighbourhood, until you get to multiple overpasses. You need to '''jump over the left (north) fence''' between the first and second overpass and climb onto a hill. It may be a bit of a challenge but it's doable (note: the closer to the concrete overpass the more stable the fence is. I'd recommend the right edge where the fence meets the concrete overpass). Once you get to the top, you'll have a big long shoulder to hitch a ride.*[[User:Chillion|Chillion]]: (2018) this spot  This is absolutely perfect, better than the other methods. I walked to this location from Trattfelderstraße, which took 30mins. Though the hill between overpasses 1 and 2 is a little challenging, the fence ate easy an easy climb. Make sure highway so if police catches you don't rush it and climb safely. Waited 30mins (9am, weekday), with "MB" sign on the shoulder til I got a lift to a rest station 14km before Maribor. From there I hitched on another motorway shoulder with a "ZG" sign, as the rest station was dead, and got put a straight ride to Zagreb about an hour later. fine pretend that you dont have money

:"We've tried this spot and it worked perfectly. We've waited less than 15 minutes with "[[Maribor]]" sign and catched a ride to an Austro-Slovenian border. Note, however, that we had a perfect combo: M+F, mid 20s, 3File:30 PM on weekday (afternoon rush hours)Emergency_lane_Graz_SLO. I'd also suggest an alternative path (path no. 2) to get to an jpeg|thumb|Photo of the emergency lane, as it seems safer than crossing busy roundabout." - [[User:raczekpart 3|raczekcenter]] and Ewa, September 2017

===== Personal experiences =====:September 2017; "[[User:NickolasAndVictoria|NickolasandVictoria]] waited for about 2 hours at the A small roundabout, next to behind the tree, with a sign reading "SLO" for Slovenia. It was a Tuesday morning, Murpark shopping centre (and they waited until around 15:00. There was not much traffic at the roundabout, and whatever traffic came through the roundabout, was either headed for the Park and Ride or headed North away from SLOP+R). They ended up getting a ride Just stand at the gas station by approaching a couple corner with a Slovenian license plate and asking for a ride. Though there was some traffic at the gas station, it was not the busiest, and definitely had limited south-bound traffic stoppingcar dealership. There may will be a higher amount of southbound traffic near evening rush hour, but the chances gas station behind you with plenty of finding a ride room to stop for you without having to approach and ask in person is small." :October 2017: tl;dr? Wait at the gas station and ask people with SLO license plates, as mentioned above by NickolasAndVictoria. Details of what [[User:Itsagerston|itsagerston]] tried: we thumbed for a long time at All the roundabout on a Thursday morning until a lady approached us from cars going onto the mall ramp must pass you and told us that we'll only find people travelling locally at that roundabout. She told us to walk to a nearby bus stop that Google maps calls "Graz Karl-Huber-Gasse (Autobahn)" where cars can stop just before entering the freeway towards Slovenia. We also thumbed there for a long time with no luck. Eventually we went back see you clearly since they have to slow down at the gas station to grab a snack, and low and behold a Blablacar driver with a SLO license plate was parked there waiting for his passenger; we saw the license plate, asked if he could take us, and just like that we were Maribor bound!roundabout

== Public Transport Trashwiki & Nomadwiki ==Graz provides a tramway system, it is aligned star shaped around the center excange point ''Jakomini Platz''. The tram and bus diagram can be found right [http://www.holding-graz.at/linien/linienuebersicht.html here].The Tickets are bought directly in the Tram/Bus. A 1-hour ticket is € 2,50, a 1-day ticket is € 5,50 and the three day Tourist ticket comes to € 12,90. The most central three tram stations in the old town are free for anyone.  Controllers sometimes patrol the tramways, but during the day you can usually hop on a bus without showing a ticket. In the night, however, the driver usually asks to see a ticket from 8pm on. Fines are very expensive. They control mostly on sundays and in the evening.
