Best route to Slovenia (1 Viewer)

[lorger]

We are heading to Slovenia this summer and wondered if anyone had done this and could advise on best route from Calais. We will be driving from Dumfries to the tunnel and then haven't made up our mind if we should do it as quick as we can or take two or three days. Thought about getting overnight from Hull or Newcastle as we did this when we went to Italy a couple of years ago which cost us £400 return, they want £800 this year.

Due to work commitments and personal ones we only have 16 days so hope to spend around ten in Slovenia, we will be staying with motorhoming friends who we met through fun, they came to Scotland last summer and spent a few nights on our drive and have offered the same to us so it would be rude to turn it down. Also a couple of games of golf on offer

weve just done that route and its mostly free we went through austria into italy and then slovakia
its worth working out your petrol consumption to arrive in luxembourg running on fumes as the deisel is cheap there as well as fags n booze

We have been to Croatia a number of times via Slovenia. My preferred route is Calais, Aachen, Koln, Munich, Austria Slovenia, Croatia. No tolls apart from Austria and Autobahn all the way. It depends if you want to get there or do some site seeing on route. I normally plan a stop just north of Frankfurt the first night, then a nice site South of Munich (Chiemsee) the second with arrival in Croatia mid afternoon the third day. There are many different routes to get there, it all depends on your schedule.
