Adriatic Roadbook 2026

Adriatic: from the Julian Alps to the Bay of Kotor
  • One A4 page per road
  • The same roads on your phone, offline
  • A GPX track for your navigation

50 driving roads across Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro - the Julian and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the Velebit and the Biokovo above the Adriatic, the islands, the canyons of the Neretva, the Drina and the Tara, Durmitor and the Bay of Kotor - one page each: what the road is like to drive, what stands between you and it and on what terms, up to four places worth stopping for, and a button that opens the whole route in Google Maps. 1,868 km of road, every line drawn from OpenStreetMap and measured at both ends against the places its page names.

30-day refundDrive one road out of it. If it was not worth the Saturday, one line gets the €26.99 back and you keep the files.

The book opens on its best road, and prints what stands between you and it.

The Upper Savinja and Pavličevo Sedlo scores 8.9, which nothing in Slovenia beats, and it is page 01 because the book is ordered by country and then by score. Its page prints what stands between you and the road: its gate line reads “7.5 t limit”, and the foot of the page names the body that says so.

Every other page is built the same way: the gate, the season, the measured distance and the source, before any adjective.

One page, seven things

Seven things on every road's page.

01The drive scoreOut of ten, from corners, scenery and a traffic penalty. The formula is printed so you can disagree with it precisely.
02What stands between you and the roadA ban with dates, a barrier, a landslide closure or a toll, whichever it is, with the body that issues it.
03When the gate opensFirst and last admission, and the months the road is shut for winter.
04The distance, measuredTaken off the road's own GPX track, not copied from a tourist board.
05Up to four stopsEach checked one at a time. An empty slot stays empty rather than being filled with a guess.
06Drive the routeOne press opens the whole road in Google Maps, corner for corner, not just the start point.
07The sourceNamed at the foot of the page, so every number on it can be checked.

Is it near you

Where these roads are, measured from where you start.

Dubrovnik has 25 of the 50 roads inside 150 km; Munich has none, and its nearest road is 244 km away. If you drive out of a city with many, this book is dense with Saturdays. If you drive out of one with none, it is a holiday purchase, and you should know that before you pay rather than after.

Every number is a straight line from the city to the nearest point of each road's own track, and the cities with none are printed alongside the cities with many.

Two pages, sources printed

Two of the 50, with their sources printed.

Both ends of what this book does: a road where whose gate line reads “Barriers” and a road where whose gate line reads “Park ticket”. Both carry the source of every figure on them, so a toll or a gate time can be checked before you spend anything. The free sample is the same two files cut to eight roads, and it opens and closes on exactly these two.

Read this before you buy

What this book does not claim.

Somebody who read an early copy came away believing I had driven them all. I had not, and nothing in that copy had said so plainly enough. Four limits, each one open to read in full.

What €26.99 buys is desk research done properly and shown working: every fact carries its source, and the roads I could not verify say so on their own page.

01The book is in English

The road names print as the signs spell them, in Slovene, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin, with every mark on them; the prose is English.

02It is a holiday book from Vienna and Munich

Dubrovnik has 25 of these roads within 150 km, Rijeka 24, Mostar 22, Ljubljana 21, Podgorica 18, Sarajevo 16, Zagreb 15 and Split 13. Vienna and Munich have none within 150 km: the nearest is 236 and 244 km away. From Germany or Austria this is a holiday book, not a weekend one, and the free sample draws all 50 on one map so you can see that before you pay.

03The Italian and Albanian shores are not here

The Adriatic has two more countries on it. The Friuli passes are in the Northern Italy book; Albania is not in this series. Where a road here runs to the Italian, Austrian or Albanian border, the line stops at the frontier and the page names what is on the other side.

04Some of the best-known roads here are gravel

The road on to Zavižan above Oltari and the one on to Lukomir above Umoljani turn to gravel where these pages stop, and those pages say so. The Majstorska cesta over the Velebit and the Vrmac ridge above Kotor are gravel over their best stretches and are not in the book.
