Airplanes- Slovenija has 3 international airports, from which Brnik (Ljubljana airport) is the biggest and the most known among visitors and us, that like to travel abroad. Our carrier company`s name is Adria Airways, that has the connections to most of the European Airports and even Tel Aviv.
There is no problem to pay in tall posts because they convert there money to euro and the best thing is that you can see it on the screen beside the tall post and the best is that you receive your change in euro also.
We chose to rent a car because we wanted the freedom of going anywhere we desired. To control our expenses, we rented one of the cheapest cars possible - a Zastava. Ours had no working reverse gear (we had to get out and push it) and it died every time we came to a stop. The clerk behind the rental counter in Zagreb candidly told us "The Yugo is a much better car." No kidding. Maybe if we had paid a little more, we would have gotten a car that could go into reverse.If you are going to rent a car, I recommend NOT renting the cheapest car possible.
This is the train that will take you over, around and through the mountains of the Julian Alps between Bohinjska Bistricia and all the ay to Most na Soci....The times are between 5-7am and 6-9pm, depending on where you leave or arrive to. You also would need to check when you are there.We have not yet done this because we have been to Slovenia three time, all in the spring or summer, we are waiting to do this ride in the deep of winter. The train takes you and your car along the tracks and also into the Bohinj Tunnel (which is just over 6 kilometers long) built between 1901-1906 and is the longest tunnel in Slovenia.
Mom never told me it's dangerous to drink and drive... I had to learn it "the hard" way ;)But on more serious note...the allowed alcohol limit (for a driver) in your blood is 0.5 promile. Soon that will be cut down to 0.2 promile.Just to be on the safe side, don't drink alcohol if you know you're going to drive later.
The most unique trails I found in Slovenia were those that used old military mulepaths. The are many such tracks in the vicinity of Krn Peak near Kobarid. These trails do switchback, endlessly, it seems. One very fascinating track is the one that takes off from the Kluze Fort - located on the Predil Pass highway between Bovec and Log na Mangartom. It leads up to another fort - Fort Henry, built in the very early 1900's - and takes maybe a half hour to reach or so. The trail has several old sentry posts built into the cliffs and one 100 meter section goes through and old tunnel.
Trails in Slovenia seem to vary dramatically from those in other countries. Slovene trails don't like to switchback for one example. They like to take a direct line -- UP!! Instead of a switchback, you get an iron peg or cable to grab ahold of to haul yourself up some particularly steep section. You can gain - or lose - elevation quickly in Slovenia. This can be a good thing - switchbacks can become mentally tiring quite quickly. The downside is that a trail going straight up (or down) is more prone to erosion and rockfall from other hikers above you. Also, wet weather can make footing on these trails very dangerous.
I am compelled to put this as a mean of travelling around Slovenia.Hitch-hiking.I had one good experience from Smlednik to Ljubljana & I saw many young people especially, do so when I was in & around Slovenia.How safe it could be ? Very safe, I was assured of that from the driver who gave me a lift !It's better to travel in pair, but I was on my own anyway.I guess the usual precautions take into effect here. Don't go in if you are uncomfortable with the drivers.Good luck !If anything not nice happen to you while hitch-hiking in Slovenia, please don't look for me, you hear me !!
It's always the best way if you can have your own transport while travelling. If you have a guide driving you around is 10 times better !Get a good road map & start planning your itineraries around Slovenia.Make sure you know the road rules, the do's & don't while travelling/driving in Slovenia.The best scale is of 1:250,000 1 inch equals 3.95 Miles and 1 inch equals 6.41 km. A map at a scale of 1:250,000 scale would serve as a good road map with major roads and some secondary roads.
Travelling by trains is a way to get around Slovenia. Not all places have train stations by the way so please check the times-tables & train stations before making any departures.The Slovenian Railway Networks link its trains with European Railway Networks. This would pass through Austria, Germany, Italy, Hungary, & Croatia.
