The drive

Slovenia's highest road pass. Up the Russian Road from Kranjska Gora, built by prisoners of war in 1915 to 1917, past the Russian Chapel, then down 26 hairpins into the Trenta and the Soča to Bovec.

Before you go

Since 15 June 2026 both ramps run through barriers that read number plates. Passing through is free; the summit car park, 80 spaces since 1 September, is entered by ticket in the right-hand lane. Terms for 2027 are not yet set.

GPX file
The GPX is the exact geometry, for komoot, Kurviger, Calimoto, OsmAnd or a factory nav. Use it when you want the road and not Google's opinion of it.

Worth stopping for

Eat well · eat cheap · sleep · worth a look. An empty slot means we could not confirm a place, not that there is nothing there.

Three changes for this page and no others: the GPX control is shown rather than wired, because the file is in the pack; the three roads at the foot link to pages that are in the pack, so they do not link here. Toll and season for this road come from grossglockner.at, printed on the page itself.
