Obcina Kranjska Gora Travel Forum

I'm planning a bicycle trip through Norway and Sweden, ferry to Rostock and then to Salzburg and south to Italy or Slovenia in the last days of April or beginning of May. My plan is to bike to Radstadt and take the Tauernpass and Katschberg. Are this passes open all the year? Later I will go to Villach and over Wurzenpass to Podkoren in Slovenia. Is it better to bike west to Tarvisio in Italy? Are other routes preferable for a biker?

I can't imagine you'll have any major problem with the Wurzenpass at that time of year. It isn't very high, and it's a short journey. Even if you had a problem with the pass, you could still get a train from Villach to Jesenice. This is a short trip and goes through the Karawanken tunnel, allowing you to by-pass any obstacles. From then, it's a straight run to Tarvisio via Kranjska Gora and Podkoren. Podkoren is very nice, but small enough to miss if you blink.

Thank you. I will take the route mentioned. After Podkoren I will bike to Jesenice, Kranji, Ljubljana, Vrhnika, Postonja, Pivka and Ilrska Bistrica. The spring in Slovenia shold be fine,I've read. Totaly different from the cold dark winter in my costal town of Norway.
