'''Slovenia''' is a country in [[Southern Europe]]. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]]. Hitchhiking used to be more common here in the past, but today people aren´t used to hitchikers and they could be suprised to see you. But still, hitchiking is quite possible and safe. You will find that people in Slovenia speak English quite good, German language can also come handy.
Hitchiking with higways will take you far and fast, but if you have time, use it to hitchhike on the small roads. Slovenia can offer you a lot on its small area. Geographic landscapes change fast and you can get from the edge of the tallest mountain (Triglav, 2864m) to the Adriatic sea in a cca. 2 hour drive).
From the capital, [[Ljubljana]], it is possible to easily hitchhike to the north/east ([[Maribor]], [[Austria]]), north/west (Jesenice ,[[Austria]]), to the south ([[Croatia]], [[Zagreb]]) and to the west (Postojna, [[Italy]]). It is the best to use highways entrances, and to hold a sign marking your destination. Hitchhiking in the rural areas is even easier, and a ride can be found even in the smallest roads. Highways are always in a good condition, there are also service areas on the motorway.
