Alternative bus services due to maintenance work on the railway line: Bohinj tunnel (12 . - 17 September 2022) and Podbrdo - Grahovo ( 26. - 30. September 2022)
- Vintgar Gorge: Due to the change in the traffic regime and the optimisation of the distribution of visitors to the Vintgar Gorge, the physical ticket sales are cancelled daily from 9:30 - 13:00. Admission during this time is only possible with an online ticket. We recommend the following options for accessing the gorge: on foot, by bicycle or by the free shuttle bus (by car only to car parks P4 and P5 and from there on foot).
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS:
-
We recommend that you park your cars away from the busiest starting points. Remote car parks are usually much more affordable, and you can easily get to the starting point by organised shuttle services (which are free or very affordable).
-
Please check the current road conditions before you arrive. Check for congestion, roadworks and other events that may change your travel time. For current road conditions, visit promet.si.
- Follow the essential guidelines to keep you safe while hiking in the Julian Alps: proper footwear, layered clothing system, essential safety equipment, and a printed map with a compass. Learn about the weather forecast and always be prepared to turn back if the conditions are turning and make sure you have the necessary level of physical fitness for the trail or climb you are going to take on.
