'''Maribor''', is the second most important centre and the second largest city of Slovenia. It has a population of about 11400 114,000 inhabitants, and is quite close to the Slovene border with [[Austria]]. I have been told repeteadly by my drivers that they also hitchhiked the country when they were younger, and that’s why they would pick me. The highway connects the main cities and Austria in less than 2 hours.

(The street is called ''Titova cesta''.) Continue walking in this street, passing the first petrol station on your right, till you reach the second petrol station. You can either ask drivers in the Petrol station to give you a lift, or you can hitchhike from the bus station just before the petrol station. From here it is about 1 km till the motorway entrance.   '''2.638008117675781' zoom='12' viewNear the Maribor main train station, there's a main road called "Meljska cesta". About 1 block before the entrance to the H2 highway, there's a bus stop where cars about to enter the highway can easily stop. There are plenty of places to thumb in either sun or shade just in front of this bus stop. === Direction of [[Graz]], [[Austria]], [[Murska Sobota]], [[Hungary]] === From the main train station ('0' float=Partizanska cesta'') continue walking south for about 50m, till you reach a junction. (Ahead of you is the Bus station.) Turn left to Meljska cesta, and go straight passing under the bridge and crossing the first junction. After a while you will see on your left the motorway on-ramp in direction of [[Austria]], stand on the right'/>side and hitchhike, preferably with a sign. From here drivers go to either [[Austria]], or continue on the northern road towards Lenart, Murska Sobota and Hungary. There is also a bus stop just east of the on ramp which is safer and more convenient for drivers to pull over in, however there is less traffic coming from this direction. == Hitching in ===== From [[Ljubljana]] ===Hitchiking out From the main street, West of Maribor is relatively easythe Train station (Dunajska Cesta) take buses 6, 8 or 10 in direction of North.
