Plan to ride the car train this fall.
- Would I miss any interesting sight or scenery along the way versus driving the similar route?
- Is one direction more scenic or easier to get on than the other? Guide book describes doing Vršič Pass first then hop onto the car train to complete the loop. Seems reasonable to 1st do the 50 hair-pin turns then relax a bit on the train back. However, wonder if this will make it more crowded and harder to get on the train at Most na Soči, if this is the popular direction and limited slots. Would it be easier to get on the car train at Bohinjska Bistrica and do the loop in reverse?
- Looking at the schedule https://potniski.sz.si/en/plan-your-journey/motorail, what does train 855/856 do? These don't go the whole way?
Any other tips for the car train? It looks like a fun experience. Thanks!
