Slovenia floods (1 Viewer)

Some scary videos of the effects to the storms last week.
We go to Bled in 4 weeks. Will enter via Villach
As far as I can tell, that area is open and not too bad. (Promet + is a good app, similar to ASFINAG)
Anyone out there presently have up to date news?

Blimey that looks bad, hopefully no injuries and it can be cleaned up in a week or so

It made the news here in Germany and looking at the map, the affected areas appear to be further east than Bled, Camping Sobec near Bled is one of our go to long weekend places so I took an interest in where the damage is being done.

The worst affected areas are in the northeast. The following link is to the Slovenian Press Agency which is constantly being updated:

STA: Severe floods hit Slovenia

Massive floods caused by heavy rains have affected large swathes of Slovenia in what is the worst natural disaster since independence. The catastrophic floods have claimed several lives, destroying homes and sweeping away roads and infrastructure. Countless businesses are affected.

Visitors are invited to explore ..........the alpine destinations of Bled

Happy days - don't want to add to their or indeed my problems, but loss of tourist income isn't welcome when you have a half billion euro clean up bill.
