Passing the Karawanken Tunnel to Slovenia
- Written by Portal Editor
After our appointments with our sponsor Fendt-Caravan in Mertingen and the various destinations in Passau and Künzing, which we were able to undertake together with our friend Horst from Kösslarn, so that additional the topics hiking and outdoor tourism in connection with our project work on the Balkans could be discussed.
Our next planned destination was the newly installed camper stop at Ljubljana in Slovenia, which we wanted to reach using the Karawanken Tunnel at Villach.

A special toll is payable for the tunnel. The amount for the car toll with and without trailer is 7,20 Euro (as of October 2016) and can be paid cash or with credit card (VISA / Mastercard). Because of the expulsion as a special road the Karawanken Tunnel can be driven without Austrian vignette.
Control is often carried out not only at the control points along the routes, but also from bridges, where the flowing traffic is observed with binoculars. So better never without a vignette!
Oncoming traffic and permanent speed limit in the tunnel
Both Slovenia and Austria favor the construction of a second tube. In March 2015, the ASFINAG announced the two-volume building construction. In September 2015 the construction of a 350 m long bridge was started, right in front of the future tunnel portal. At the end of 2017 / spring 2018 the construction of the second tunnel tube is to begin. This should be completed in 2021. Subsequently, the renovation of the now used tube begins, which is to be completed by the end of 2023.
