Vanlife in Slovenia is Illegal | Why Did We Come Here?!

- Well the better weather that we’d hoped for at the end of last week unfortunately didn’t arrive. In fact during this leg of our epic European road trip, it very much gets worse.
We’re also shocked to learn that not only is wild camping in Slovenia illegal - the paid parkups, where you are permitted to stay overnight, are hella expensive.
Which all culminates in quite a lot of frustration. But we do really enjoy the things that we do get to do in Slovenia, even though we do just have to do it in the pouring down rain.
So join us as take on very wet waterfall hikes, try to dodge the rainclouds whilst exploring the capital of Ljubljana, take in the magic of Lake Bled and visit one of the most incredible things that we’ve seen on our travels for a long while, the awe-inspiring Postojna Caves.
All whilst trying to not fall foul of the Slovenia vanlife rules and find more affordable places to park overnight. It’s definitely an interesting week that’s for sure!
Catch you in the comments,
Sarah, James & Ady

just to clarify (as a Slovenian) to avoid wrong interpretations: you of course can swim in lake Bled, you can do the sunbathing and walk on the grass :) but not on the spot you made your pictures - that was a central park that is part of Bled town as in that particular spot you can not do it, but if you would go few hundred meters down the lake you could do all that. Not only that, Slovenia is one of the not many countries that allows walk in private forests and on private land (only not in private gardens around houses) and does not allow private ownership on the coastal line, meaning that access to lakes and sea is allowed to everybody! And yes, if you are tourist (no matter if in a hotel, van or tent) you do pay a tourist tax for each day you are staying in certain location as a tourist. I am surprised it is so surprising, as it is true almost anywhere in Europe (I am paying tourist tax also in Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland etc.)
You know what do.. the tagines are sizzling in Morocco..😅
More expensive than Switzerland lol... it looks like it has potential as a destination but... I'll go to Switzerland thanks. At least you can walk on the grass there 😂
Rules meh!! One individual trying to spoil the enjoyment of another. I love breaking "rules".
popolna zapora = total imprisonment xD lol, never thought of how it would be translated to english, thats so funny, it just means the road is closed for all traffic=)
The caves looked fantastic, the hike in the rain didn't look like much fun. I guess you will always remember it though!
Hope you guys are ok and safe xx you’ve had no content for a while xx
When you coming back to you tube guys. Haven’t heard from you in too long ❤
In the USA it's legal to have Pepper/Bear spray in all State is it the same in Europe?
How’s it going? Haven’t heard from you for a while I hope you’re all ok 😊
PS poor James on the bridge in his favourite weather 😜😵💫
Great to see you guys back on the road and also doing a similar journey to the one we hope to do! I have a couple of questions.. .which does Ady prefer...van or apartment? And how much power do you have? We're hoping to get to Greece this winter but ss van life newbies we're clueless as to how much battery and solar we need to be off grid. Any advice massively appreciated 🙏our daughter is three!!

James, your eyes when you were stood on that bridge 😅 😂😂
Wow, lake bled was full of people swimming in it last year and picnics on the grass, wonder what’s changed. Loved the Vrsic pass. On the way from the soća valley to Croatia last year we stayed at a place called Žerovnica behind a restaurant (which was great btw) for €15 inc ehu👍 safe travels👍
