*" I[[File:Zagreb_t0ma5.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Street that leads to the Lučko toll station]] To get to the ''Lučko'' ramp (toll station) on the motorway you have to catch tram #4 or #7 and get out at stop ''Savski most''m always lucky with this spot, no matter where I am heading. I wait about or #5-10 minutes when going to Rijeka and about 20-30 when going to Zadar, Šibenik #14,or Split#17 and get out at stop "St. dom Stjepan Radić". But then again, I'm Savski most a girlbus terminal where you can catch buses #111 or #132. HAVE A SIGN with car plates These buses pass by the pay tolls "Lučko". Get off after 15 minutes of ride at bus stop Put Za Leskovac . You can recognise a big restaurant "Calypso". Once you get off you will see that one road goes over the city bridge - take the other road that doesn't go over the bridge, take first left and go through the parking lot and voila! you're going tothere.  Also if you walk a bit highway forward you get on the Crodux petrol station. There is less traffic than on tolls. December 2012, Nina_Unexia "

*" July 2015: spot worked well. ThereIf you are going to ''Dalmatia''s a lot of police around(Zadar, Split, but they seemed not to care at alletc. Be careful of getting dropped on one of the rest areas though, there are quite many so traffic isn) don't very heavy on each one, and in the summertime almost all traffic is fully loaded vacation cars heading for the coast. The best rest stop before the highway split at Bosiljevo take rides to Rijeka because it is probably Draganic, as it has both a Burger King and a Marche Bistrobit out of your way. We were stuck at Vukova Gorica rest area Car plates for hourseach city: Pula and Istria (PU), Rijeka (RI) Zadar (ZD) Šibenik (ŠI) Split (ST)."

*" You can skip the bus part - just exit the tram (14 or 7) July 2015: spot worked well. There's a lot of police around, but they seemed not to care at all. Be careful of getting dropped on "Jadranska avenija" which is the name one of the street in which you will get after crossing the bridge and following a small road going east (with some bigger shops rest areas though, there are quite many so traffic isn't very heavy on your right)each one, you can hitch on the spot where and in the small street summertime almost all traffic is flowing into fully loaded vacation cars heading for the big one, coast. The best rest stop before the cars go fast but there highway split at Bosiljevo is space - even probably Draganic, as it has both a Burger King and a truckMarche Bistro. If they're not going your way, just ask to be dropped We were stuck at the pay toll. Great place Vukova Gorica rest area for finding long rideshours. --[[User:Uyku.tulumu|Uyku.tulumu]] ([[User talk:Uyku.tulumu|talk]]) 18:38, 15 March 2013 (CET) "

Further to * Even though the above directions, ticket inspectors are more common now and the bus drivers control if you'll stay on tram 14 until it's crossed have the riverticket, then find yourself on the lower level of a motorway roundabout junction. You have several possible exits under bridges. these buses When are almost always crowded so you get off the tram with the river to your back, go right. You'll see a Billa supermarket and a McD's. There is a slip road there with a decent dirt layby where cars can pull still sneak in. Have a sign that reads 'LUCKO' and you'll easily get without buying a lift to the toll station five minutes up the road. From there it's easy pickingsticket. --[[User:Looking for Stu|Looking for Stu]] ([[User talk:Looking for Stu|talk]]) 10:42April 2014, 14 May 2013 (CEST)Nina_Unexia

You have three options for these destinations. * First option is outdated and deleted. Look up for updated version.* Second option is to get the tram #2, #3 or #13 to ''Savišće'' or ''Žitnjak''. Get out at the last INA Lučko fuel station / rest stop and then walk for about 15 minutes towards the motorway. On the motorway you'll find a bus stop and there you can easily hitchhike towards the on-ramp in highway''Ivanja Reka'' or you can even  Bus 112 till Lučko (final stop cars who are going to Belgrade or Bosnia. Ask the locals for extra tips ) and explanations.walk 500 metres

''[[User:nuclearphyllis|Nuclearphyllis]]' local experts took him to the first toll station on the ZagrebBus 164 or 168 till Puškarićeva-Belgrade motorway, even though it was illegal to hitchhike from there. They weren't troubled škola and got a ride within 10 minuteswalk Lucko street 1.''5 km

*I hitched 3 times in direction of Belgrade, so just one tip - if the car that is giving you a ride goes to Slavonski Brod (half way before Belgrade) ask him to drop you off at EAST EXIT of the '''From city. in Croatian - ISTOČNI IZLAZ. because, if he drops you off at west exit, 95% of cars go to direction of Zagreb, I waited there 2 hours once, and the second time 3 hours ;)'''

I could just add if you need to go from Zagreb to Osijek on high way A3 and a lot of cars are driving forward to Slavonski Brod Belgrade. You need to go out on turn to Đakovo and Osijek(high way A5). Than you walk right to high way and just climb up till turning for Osijek direction and hitchhike there at the beginningBus 279, cars need to slow down when they join to high way that leads to Osijek. If driver left you after Đakovo on some rest place near high way281, try not to stuck up or avoid that282 till Lj. Because on this high way in one hour maybe 15 cars passed by, so it is not so crowded with cars even that is main high way, try to catch ride directly to OsijekPosav. People probably do not use often this high way becaue you must pay fee for driving there -Rimski Put and normal road is free.walk back to Slavonska Avenija

----'''Update - april 2012Crodux fuel station / rest stop on highway''': Bus 273 till last stop Lužan-Zeleni Vijenac (someone entered this bus from the middle door as well).Walk 3 km forward Ul. Augusta Šenoe. There is able a gravel road after you cross over the highway which you can easily reach by going a couple hundred meters past the highway (no need to hitchhike there, last year I was there, but try and cross the ditch to reach it is '''very hard to get out of there'''. You need reach ''petrol ) As you approach the gas station'' fence and the exit from station has got long shoulder road turns to lead around the back you will see a gap where U you can safely try easily hop the fence and follow a well formed path directly to the parking lot. It should be just a handful of meters after the curve and very easy to cach someonenotice.

'''Update''': The main problem with direction towards Hungary is that pay tolls are quite far away from Zagreb, so it would be easier if you first get to the pay tolls. The best starting point is the "Tifon" petrol station as it's the furthest hitchhiking spot on the way to Varaždin and Budapest you can get to by public transportation Bus 112 till Lučko (directions to there are already described in the directions to Belgrade section on the top of this topic - bus 216 or 176 from Kvaternikov trg...final stop) and hold a sign "ZELINA" (the closest town to the pay tolls) or "SV. HELENA" (the exact name of that pay tolls). Many drivers get off the highway just before the pay tolls, so maybe you'll have to walk a few kilometers. But once you're there, you can easily get a ride straight to Budapest.500 metres

Second option is to hitchhike on Slavonska avenija, this way you dont have to take any public transportation. You can stand after the crossroad of Slavonska avenija and Ulica Josipa Marohnića. Many people go towards the highway on this road. We hitchhiked with the sign "Sesvete", got a ride in 15 mins and got dropped at the petrol station right in front of highway ramps in Ivanja Reka. From here we hitchhiked with sign "Varazdin" and got a ride in 15Bus 164 or 168 till Puškarićeva-20 mins škola and got dropped at the pay tolls towards northwalk Lucko street 1.5 km

Take tram #5 or #17 from the centre of Zagreb towards the ''Precko''. Notice that the ride takes a lot of time, 45 minutes at least. In ''Precko'', exit the tram and walk left. You'll see a street that turns right. Take this street and walk 5 minutes till you get Get to the main street ''Ljubljanska Avenija'' (also called ''Zagrebacka Avenija''). Cross this street in front of the ''Konzum'' supermarket avenija and turn left. You will see find a small bus station, this is your spot. However most people commute from this pointstop to hitchike. Best is to hitchhike from there with a SLO Slovenia sign. Don't take rides that don't take you at least to the border - There is no good places to hitchhike further down the road. From the border crossing itself it's relatively easy to get a good ride, even as far as to Austria. 

==== First option Zaprešić toll station ====

From the Črnomerec and Ljubljanica bus terminal there's a free bus (red or white colour) to West Gate shopping centre which is adjacent to Zaprešić toll station [http://westgate-shopping.com/en/westgate-autobus/], see also [http://maps.google.com/?q=zagreb&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=City+of+Zagreb,+Croatia&ll=45.874518,15.829003&spn=0.009815,0.02459&t=h&z=16 Google Maps], the The toll station is very close to the shopping center, you can see it from the parking lot where the bus arrives. But you will have to cross a bit of water. Don't try this in the dark. Look for one of the areas with stones covered by metal or just walk about 300 metre in opposite direction of the shopping mall and you will find a little bridge, handy! then come back to the toll station.

== Resources ==== INA Jakovlje fuel station = Sleeping ===For decent camping, take tram #6 from the central train station to Crnomerec, continue walking down Ilica a hundred metres or so, turn Right on Kustosijanca, and walk up this street for two hundred meters past an old train trestle. There is easy access to trails in the woods and decent places to camp without being disturbed.

To be deeper in nature but still quite close to the town, take tram #14 to Mihaljevac, Train till Kupljenovo and then #15 to the last stopget on Kolodvorska ulica after big highway turn right road. Continue further through the tunel, and then you'll find yourself in a huge forest with contless spots for camping.Update: In June 2015, my girlfriend used this advice (trams 14 and 15). It Total walk is indeed a large wooded area. We found a somewhat decent spot to spend the night about 800m past the tunnel. I say decent as we were only partially out of sight from passing cars or pedestrians (that are few at night time anyway). 2 km

=== Internet access = Ljubljanska avenue upramp ====

Free wifi in Instead of the centre seemingly risky toll station, you can also get a bus to King Cross shopping center or simply walk along Ljubljanska avenija until you reach the on-ramp of the cityhighway. The spot is an approach road of a nearby, not very frequented truck park and offers great visibility and space to pull over for bypassing drivers.

Club Mama, 'net.culture.club' [[User:Vapaakulkuri|vapaakulkuri]] however still had to wait about two hours to get a ride to the first gas station that is an open space with a cool library of technical, cultural, and revolutionary books, wifi, and frequent talks and skillshares. Ulica Petra Preradovićeva 18, at located about 20km down the back of a square between buildings. http://www.mi2road.hr/
