Note from [[User:Trampster|Trampster]] :" As Wincak already said, the tunnel is after the highway sign which means that hitchhiking There is not allowed there. I found out the hard way and got controlled by the police. But instead of giving me a ticket (75 €) they gave me a ride back to shower in the above mentioned bus stop from where I got a ride shortly after. Smiling and playing the dumb fool may help in a situation like thatgas station for €3." (August 2014)

There were two of us and it's was impossible to get a bit far from the train stationride, slow traffic coming through. We asked all truck drivers but it's unlikely they were concerned with the border crossing. This was a Monday morning 9am we waited until 2pm. There one person that anyone will bother yousuggested we should HH from Vic being a popular spot for HHers. Take bus 19/19B till We couldn't really find the north end "Tomacevo" and then take spot on the road that goes down and turn rightmap, you should get out of the city and pass by some farms and there you have the river where you can even swim so gave it a miss.

It should be noted that we first also tried going a tourist information computer which can bit past this point to hitch to '''Rijeka'''; one driver stopped and told us it would be used for free internet surfing by clicking in a very long day taking that route, with drivers only going village to village all along the way and strongly suggested we take the search tab, typing longer route through Zagreb. From what your looking forI've seen, and finding it in the results (there is no URL bar provided)I think he was right.

'''Ljubljana''' is the capital of [[Slovenia]], one of the smallest and nicest capitals in [[Europe]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
Hitchiking out of Ljubljana is relatively easy, in all directions, Standing on the ''Autostrada'' (Slovenian: ''Avtocesta'', abbr. ''AC'' on road signs) on-ramp.
=== Northeast towards [[Maribor]], [[AustriaGraz]] (, [[GrazVienna]], ([[ViennaAustria]]), [[Hungary]] ===__TOC__
From the main street, west of the train station (Slovenska cesta, Dunajska cesta), take buses 6, 8 or 11 in direction north. Get off at the stop "Smelt", at the "World Trade Center" tower. Walk further on towards the motorway, then right after the fountain. You will see the road forking, the left lane going down to the motorway, the right lane going higher up. Stand with your sign '''in the middle''' between the two lanes. Even though it might look a bit strange, this is the most common spot and it's easy for drivers to see you and there's enough space for one car to safely stop there.
Alternatively opposite of the railway station take bus no 27 towards "Letaliska" and get out at "Jarse". Continue following "Smartinska cesta" about 400 meters and turn to right from the traffic lights. There is a bus stop right after. Most of the cars passing now are going towards the highway. You can also take bus no 2 to "Nove Jarse" from Southern part of Slovenska cesta. The last stop is the mentioned hitchhiking spot.
=== Northwest towards [[Kranj]], [[Bled]], [[Villach]], [[Salzburg]] ([[Austria]]), [[Munich]] ([[Germany]]) ===
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 [[Croatia]]n coast for holidays.
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, 25, or 8 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 hitchhiking there. There is also a petrol station at the Radovljica-exit (right before Bled) which is useful for getting into Austria.
NOTE: May 2017. Good spot, got a ride to the first gas station on the motorway in 3 minutes with a sign for Kranj (KR). From there another ride all the way to Salzburg.
