Travel Routes

You will often find that different routes and combinations of different routes lead to the same resorts. It is naturally your free choice which route to choose but we would like to give you some useful advice about the different routes. To make it easier, the routes are described starting from southern Germany – Munich. From here the most comfortable is the route via Trieste (Route 1) which involves driving along the motorways to Koper in Slovenia.
