Austria (Villach to Klagenfurt ) to Bled (Slovenia) without tollway
In December I'm planning to go to Bled as I'm passing through Villach by car with my girlfriend. I'm really not motivated to pay for the Slovenian motorways for a daily trip only and the public transport from anywhere in Austria to Bled is just a mess.
Does anyone of you have experience on that rather short route? Most of the websites on the issue are heavily outdated and Slovenia keeps upgrading streets and single roundabouts every once in a while.
So far my plan is to go via the Wurzenpass and following the Route 201 to Bled. (As Google Maps suggests) As I failed heavily getting there a few years ago via Loiblpass this time I want to be prepared better.
Is the suggested route toll-free? Are there better ways than the curvy Wurzenpass (in December)? And do you generally have suggestions or Alternatives?
Best Answer
In these cases I mostly trust the ÖAMTC internally they use publicly available software. Their "Routenplaner" gives a similar image like Google Maps, so I assume it's correct. I'll give it a try and hope I won't have to pay any toll.
Edit: Did it this way. Works!
You can go via Wurzenpass to Jesenice if you are in Villach already. The road via Trzic is a little weird, but no tollway included!

Answer 3
what maybe is also good to know if you are travelling through the Karawanken tunnel to Slovenia: if you leave the highway on the very first exit possible, you don't have to pay any tolls for the Slovenian motorways. My mum is Slovenian, and shared the tip with me. In case the police stops you, you have to tell them that you know about this rule and are about to take the first possible exit from the motorway. That should not cause any problems.
