Arrival by Car
TIP!
Slovenia has introduced a motorway vignette for vehicles with vehicle height above front axis 1.30 m or more.
In Slovenia a special motorway vignette is required for the vehicles with a height above front axis of 1.30 m or more and mass not exceeding 3.500 kg in the amount of EUR 30.00 for a weekly vignette.
To avoid such an expense we recommend the following route (route proposal from Munich):
