THE JULIAN ALPS - Croatia and Slovenia - page 946

Length of This Tour: These rough estimates do not include stops: Bled to the top
of Vrši č Pass—1 hour; Vrši č Pass to Trenta (start of So č a Valley)—30 minutes; Trenta
to Bovec—30 minutes; Bovec to Kobarid—30 minutes; Kobarid to Ljubljana or Bled—2
hours (remember, it's an hour between Ljubljana and Bled). In other words, if you started
and ended in Bled and drove the entire route without stopping, you'd make it home in less
than five hours...but you'd miss so much. It takes at least a full day to really do the region
justice.
Tourist Information: The best sources of information are the Bled TI (see here ), the
Triglav National Park Information Centers in Trenta ( here ) and Bled ( here ) , and the TIs in
Bovec and Kobarid (both listed in this chapter).
Maps: Pick up a good map before you begin (available at local TIs, travel agencies, and
gas stations). The all-Slovenia Autokarta Slovenija or the TI's Next Exit: Goldenhorn Route

The 1:50,000 Kod & Kam Poso č e map covers the entire Vrši č Pass and So č a Valley (but
doesn't include the parts of the drive near Bled and Ljubljana).
