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!) big truck parking 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 metres, you'll get ====Catch bus 9 to the resting area.

There is :''October 2017:'' [[User:Itsagerston|itsagerston]] tried this spot on a Sunday morning. Traffic was quite thin but after about 20 minutes of thumbing at this place, we got a direct ride to '''Zagreb'''. It should be noted that we first also tried going a McD at bit past this point to hitch to '''Rijeka'''; one driver stopped and told us it would be a very long day taking that route, with drivers only going village to village all along the train station way and in strongly suggested we take the city centre that as always provides Free-Wifilonger route through Zagreb. From what I've seen, 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 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. 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.
