🚧 IS THERE ANY DAMAGE DUE TO HEAVY RAINS?
Compared to other parts of Slovenia, the storm's impact on the Julian Alps is minimal, for which we are grateful. However, some local roads and trails are currently closed for storm recovery and cleanup of torrential deposits. We are working hard to reopen them at the beginning of the week.
Please note that rescue teams have reported tourists ignoring roadblocks and safety instructions. Until everything is safe and secure, we urge you to respect the closures and follow safety guidelines throughout the Julian Alps.
🌊 HOW ABOUT WATER ACTIVITIES?
Water levels are rapidly receding. However, until they return to normal speed and levels, some activities like canyoning and rafting may not be advisable or possible. For accurate information, please check with local activity providers.
We hope this update helps you plan your visit to the Julian Alps accordingly.
Stay safe, and we look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful destination soon! 💚
