Slovenia

I use Via Michelin and occasionally Google Maps when planning routes across Europe (Google Maps has never let us down when looking for Urban locations eg campsites) Assuming you’re going via Calais, Via Michelin shows three routes to Bled which is a popular destination. I’d go via Belgium, Luxembourg (a good motorhome Aire (stellplatz) in Remich), then Germany but to avoid roadworks on the A8 between Stuttgart and Munich I’d take a more northern route to Wurzburg, Straubing, Passau then into Slovenia via Austria. (There’s a nice campsite in Straubing near the sports centre). I recommend you download the Campercontact App on your phone for sites and motorhome stop-overs. The popular sites will be busy with campers from Germany during the Whitsun (Pfingsten) holidays in May so if you have a specific destination in mind it may be best to book ahead during the 2 weeks holidays. You will need motorway Vignettes for Austria and Slovenia but you can buy these at the borders or at service stations before borders.

Google Maps is as good as any for planning routes. I also prefer routes via Germany largely because these are toll free. On the two occasions I have visited Slovenia from the north I have travelled from Germany across Austria from Passau and Salzburg. An alternative route is via Innsbruck and across Italy. It all depends where you want to go in Slovenia, your attitude to paying tolls and what your interests are, if any, in stopping off on the way.

A word on tolls, if your motorhome is over 3.5 tons you cannot use a vignette in Austria or Slovenia, you must buy an electronic toll tag. In Austria it is called a GObox and in Slovenia a Darsgo box For more information on tolls have a look at >this web site<
