Closed mountain roads in Upper Savinja Valley

Storms, floods, and landslides have left devastation in their wake, so don’t venture out to the most critical areas and closed mountain trails. The Alpine Association of Slovenia (Planinska zveza Slovenije) is collecting and updating data on trail conditions.

Follow the current situation on the ground: Check the link – Status of mountain trails.

Most mountain trails in the Upper Savinja Valley area are closed or unfavorable for hiking. Do not use closed mountain trails! They are closed due to one or more objective dangers in the trail area. Currently, mountain rescuers and police and military helicopters are also heavily burdened and needed elsewhere.

Heed the advice for safe mountain visiting (appropriate equipment, physical and mental preparation, caution, respect nature, inform others, and stay on marked trails).

Reporting injuries on mountain trails:

If you notice damages on the trail that affect the safety of hikers, report them at:

Email: poskodbe.poti@pzs.si In the maPZS app.
