Posting here as it seems best place. We are going to Germany-Austria-Slovenia-Italy-Switzerland-France leaving in September. Route to Austria is planned, and we may even follow some of it!
In Slovenia we plan to visit Bled and Lubijania. A few questions, please:
1 Is currency now Euros?
2 Any problems getting cash from a hole-in-the-wall?
3 Any suggestions on good places to stop?
4 Any problems with camp-sites being open in October?
5 Am I right thinking wild-camping is not allowed/
In addition to above, any thoughts on the route back, places to see, ways to go would be most welcome - we intend to take about 3 weeks getting back, but we'll see how it goes.

If you plough your way through my blog ( Croatia one, Autumn 2007) I've answered some of your questions. We loved Slovenia and it is top of the list for a re-visit.
Hi,
We visited Slovenia last Spring on the way back from Croatia to Italy.
Yes, currency now in Euros.
Don't remember any problems getting cash.
As in Croatia, no wild camping allowed. But if you ate at a restaurant, for example, you could probably stay overnight in their carpark, with their permission.
Lubljana is delightful, and very safe. Not much traffic as it has an excellent and cheap bus system. We parked in a leafy side street in the centre, without any problem, but there is a shopping centre, I think it is to the East of the town, where we had planned to park up and take a bus into town. It is a university town, lots of students, worth spending longer there than the one day we allotted it.
Another nice place is the "disappearing lake" (South of Cerknica). There we did camp wild by the lake. No-one bothered us, but there was a lot of local traffic late in the evening along the gravel track passing our "peaceful" layby!
Well worth visiting a lovely blog in French at http://vivement.la.retraite.free.fr/ - a French family campervanning across Croatia and back via Italy, great fun, and cautionary tales of where not to park up (on N. Italian M-way service statiions, for example!)

Hallo and thanks to all who replied to our post. We are at this moment on the campsite in Bled where we have had sunshine from the time we arrived (only during the day, before someone asks!).
We are moving off this morning to go via Bohinj to Ljubljana for a couple of days. More good weather is promised and its quite warm too, so all is well with our world.
It's our first year with the motorhome and its been all we hoped for and more. All the time spent reading MHF has benefitted us so everything has gone smoothly.
Thanks again to all who have helped anywhere on the forum
As you head on South from Ljubliana towards Italy, you can stay for free at the Aire at Postojna Jama.
Even the electric was free last October. See my entry in the Campsite Data Base. Lots to see and do from there.
We went to Slovenia in July, and loved every minute. So much we are planning to return next year.
Firstly, make sure you buy a vignette at the first opportunity, got our from the first motorway services in Slovenia after entering from Austria via the Karawanken tunnel. Don't be tempted not to buy, they are watching for foreigner leaving the services without displaying a vignette.
We stayed Camping-Radovljica in Radovljica, and I can recommend it.
English is widely spoken so we didn't experience any problems on that score.
I would recommend going to Ljubliana on the local bus service which are modern air-conditioned coaches. we paid €5.60 return and it takes 45mins which thought was very cheap.
