Novo Mesto 90Slovenian bike retailer Freestyle reports growing demand for Dahon folding e-bikes among motorhome owners. These bikes require no roof racks and fit into storage compartments. The retailer also offers Giant and Liv e-bikes with a subsidy of up to €500 under the Borzen program (up to 25% of retail price, max €500, for bikes priced up to €2,500).
On Saturday, a motorhome overturned on the Primorska motorway. Emergency services responded; firefighters from PGD Cerknica secured the scene, provided fire protection, and assisted in clearing the aftermath. Drivers were advised to exercise caution and adjust their speed to road conditions.
Motorhomes have been placed at the former border crossing in Rožna Dolina, which Italian police will use for internal border control from June 28 to July 15. No official information on their role is available yet from the Gorizia prefecture or police headquarters. Nova Gorica mayor Mirko Brulc called Italy's decision scandalous, stating that the threat from Slovenia is not significant. Slovenian police already advise citizens to carry identification when crossing internal borders.
A camper route through the Julian Alps in Slovenia has been presented. The tour starts in Ljubljana and passes through Bled, Kranjska Gora, the Vršič Pass (1,611 m), the Soča Valley, Bovec, Tolmin, Bohinj, and Škofja Loka. The route is only available in summer, as the Vršič Pass opens in early May. The pass is not recommended for large motorhomes and caravans due to steep turns. Wild camping is strictly prohibited in Slovenia.
This morning at 6:45 in Trieste, a motorhome caught fire at Via Puccini 86. Firefighters checked for occupants — none were inside — and began extinguishing. The fire spread to nearby parked cars. The blaze was put out, causing substantial property damage.
From summer 2026, barriers will be installed on the Vršič Pass in the Julian Alps to regulate traffic. At the same time, local municipalities have increased penalties for wild camping: a fine of €500 per person. In Bohinj, motorhomes, campervans, and caravans are banned from forest roads year-round, and in July-August also from the Savica waterfall. At Lake Bled's central parking, motorhomes pay €3 per hour, and overnight stays are prohibited.
