Which Slovenian cities does the European Road 61 pass?

The Austrian-Slovenian border is the starting point of the E61 in Slovenia. Strictly speaking, the road starts near Hrušica and continues through Naklo and Carniola to Ljubljana. The road then continues to the municipality of Divača and, with the E70, leads to the Slovenian-Italian border (Fernetti).

The section after that is no longer on Slovenian but on Italian soil. After the Fernetti border, the road reaches Villa Opicina and then Basovizza and Triste via the Statale 14. It continues across the Istrian peninsula to the Southeast and ends in Pesek di Grozzana (Italian-Slovenian border).

The last part of the connection leads through Kozina and Starod and then reaches one of the border crossings to Croatia from Slovenia (D8 Slovenian-Croatian border).

As a European Road, the E61 is not considered a classic motorway. In Slovenia, however, the road follows three motorway sections. These are the A2, A1, and A3 motorways.

Is the E61 in Slovenia subject to tolls?

The E61 is one of the toll roads in Slovenia. This means that you no longer only must ask yourself the question "Vignette for Slovenia: Where can I buy it?" but also know which routes are subject to tolls.
