Slovinia and Croatia Trip

Post by RoadTrekker »

Last year I did a Euro trip that included Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Lichtenstein it took 9 days and 3666kms it was blast, even though we had lots of rain and even a snow storm on Glossglockner in July!

I am planning this years Euro Trip as I live in the Czech Republic and I am planning to tour through Austria into Slovinia and then into Croatia has anyone got some good suggestions for places to visit, great roads and places to camp or B&B. Planning on taking 10-14days

Thanks in advance

The coast road: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriatic_Highway looks fun, try googling it and have a look at the videos.

Split and Zadar look nice without the level of tourism that Dubrovnik has.

This national park looks nice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plitvice_L ... ional_Park
In Slovenia the Triglav National Park looks interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triglav_National_Park and has the Vrsic Pass: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vr%C5%A1i%C4%8D

Which is just about my agenda for a trip this September :)

We went to Croatia in July last year albeit in our MG sportscar, Bled is worth a visit, so is a little place called Skradin where you can visit the Krka national park by boat from there if you fancy a hotel we stayed at the Skradinsky Buk Hotel lovely family run hotel they couldn't do enough for us. Dubrovnik is very nice at night.
***just like Britney Spears oops I did it again……sold the Scrambler & as of now there may not be a replacement***

Good campsite around the back of Lake Bled, it has a lakeside restraunt with good beer.
For Croatia, all of the coastal route is awsome, Split is very nice and if you like you can get a night ferry over to Ancona in Italy and make a loop. In 2009 I think it was about 40euros for bike and rider.

and

the capital is well worth a long afternoon in the old quarter the coast near to Italy is busy and better in Croatia...the red wine is excellent as is the food ..rustic but tasty ..the people are very friendly and speak English well.

It [slovenia] may be small but its Diverse and I`ll be back soon.
