Hello,
My wife and I are in the midst of a trip that we planned about a year ago to Prague, Vienna and Slovenia and were upset to learn last night about ongoing repairs to the Vrsic pass road in the Julian Alps that require weekday closures between 7:30 and 17:00. We saw an online notice that mentioned a detour to Bovec, Slovenia (where we have overnight reservations 3 days from now) that requires crossing over into Italy - it's called the Kranjska Gora—Rateče—Predel—Bovec route. Is anyone familiar with this route? Should we be concerned about this route and/or are there particular highlights (hikes, etc.) on that route you recommend?
We're also concerned that the closures (which extend from the summit of the Vrsic pass to Trenta) may prevent us from accessing some of the hikes we were planningin Triglav National Park and further south in the Soca River Gorge and the Tolmin Gorges.
Does anyone have any thoughts on these concerns and/or further suggestions?
Thank you for any help you can offer.
Best,
David and Leslie
