Dovje: A2/E61, Karavanke - Ljubljana, predor Karavanke
Karavanke Tunnel near Dovje sits beneath the Karawanks on Slovenia’s border with Austria, where the upper Sava Dolinka valley forms a natural Alpine passage. The road tunnel links the A2 motorway near Hrušica with Austria’s A11, making it a principal road crossing between the two countries. Opened in 1991, its original tube is almost eight kilometres long and takes traffic through the mountain barrier rather than over high passes. Dovje lies nearby in the valley below the Julian Alps, while Mojstrana is a starting point for routes into Triglav National Park. This transport corridor gives the small Alpine settlements of the area an important role in connections between central Europe and the Adriatic.

Slovenia occupies a meeting point of the Alps, the Pannonian Plain, the Dinaric mountains and the Adriatic coast in south-central Europe. The Julian Alps rise in the northwest, where Triglav is the country’s highest mountain, while the Soča River is known for its clear turquoise water. Karst terrain has shaped caves such as Postojna Cave and the Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Ljubljana combines a riverside old town with works by architect Jože Plečnik; farther east, wine-growing regions and thermal springs add another dimension.
