Unfortunately, wild camping is not officially allowed in Slovenia. Also, it is forbidden by law to spend the night on private property and bivouacking is not legal. If you are caught, you may be fined up to 500 €.
In practice, however, these laws are not always strictly enforced. Particularly in the off-season and away from conurbations, the authorities are more relaxed about the legal basis in many cases. Often, wild camping is tolerated or only punished with a reprimand. You can also ask for permission to spend a night on one of the many farms.
However, you should not stay overnight in a nature reserve, as controls are very strict, especially in these areas.

Situated between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Slovenia offers a mixture of coastal landscapes and mountain regions. In recent years, this small country has become an insider tip and is attracting more and more tourists with its nature and hospitable people. We have put together a few tips for you so that you know what to look out for during your trip.
Tolls for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes
On Slovenian motorways and trunk roads, a vignette is compulsory for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes of total weight. The vignettes can be purchased through the ADAC or in Slovenia at petrol stations, the Slovenian post office or other sales outlets near the border crossing.
Tolls for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes
For vehicles with a total weight of over 3.5 tons, the electronic toll system DarsGo must be used. You can order the device online before your trip or purchase it at a local DarsGo service. You can find out where such DarsGo services are available or how to order them online at https://www.darsgo.si/portal/.
Always have your documents at hand
You should always carry a valid identity card or passport with you. At border crossings as well as at routine checks you must be able to identify yourself with a photo ID. If you cannot prove your identity directly, you may be subject to fines ranging from 200 € to 1,200 €.
Special features in road traffic
In Slovenia, there is a lighting obligation, therefore all roads must be equipped with dipped headlights all year round. In comparison to other countries, it is also necessary to stop at a yellow traffic light. Another special feature is the winter tire requirement. In the period from 15 November to 15 March, you must drive with winter tires or snow chains.
