Safety and health

Slovenia is one of the easier countries in Europe to travel by road. The usual van-life worry, theft from a parked vehicle, is a smaller problem here than on the Mediterranean coasts, and the ordinary precautions cover it: nothing visible through the windows, arrive before dark, and prefer a busy, occupied car park to an empty scenic layby.

A single walker on a grassy ridge below jagged limestone peaks under a pale sky — Marked trails, and tell somebody where you are going. That is the whole of it

What works

Arrive before dark so you can see the place you picked and who is already there.
Nothing visible through the windows. No bags, no laptop on the table, no cab clutter.

Health, pharmacies and numbers

112 is the single emergency number, in any language, and it reaches mountain rescue as well as ambulance and fire.
Police are 113. Live traffic and road conditions are 1970.

Slovenia's neighbours treat this differently, and a trip here usually touches at least one of them. Our guides to wild camping in Austria and wild camping in Croatia cover the rules on either side of the border.
