Tour Tips:
- This route includes scenic mountain passes and narrow Alpine roads, especially the climb to Pavlič Pass (Pavličevo sedlo), where the road is narrow, with sharp turns and some rough sections – keep your speed moderate and stay alert.
- Be cautious of potentially wet road surfaces on the descent into Austria, especially in shaded areas during morning hours.
- In Austria (Železna Kapla – Freibach – Ferlach), expect lower speed limits and frequent police checks – strictly follow traffic regulations.
- Before crossing Ljubelj Pass, check for traffic updates or possible roadworks, as it’s a main border connection.
A map of motorcycling routes is available at the reception of Hotel Grof, where you can also download selected GPX to your navigation device.
