driving times-need help.....
 

does anyone know an internet sight that has slovenia and croatia driving times? or does anyone know: bled to plitvice lakes, bled to zadar, bled to balzano or cortina,italy (dolomites)?

Hi bod,

www.viamichelin.com has both Croatia and Slovenia.

great sight! thank you, ira.......

I would guess that www.mappy.com covers those countries.

Be aware that ViaMichelin's times are not realistic in Croatia. For example, it says that Split to Dubrovnik takes 2 hours 39 minutes, whereas all the posters here say at least 4 hours. In France and Italy, I always allow at least 25% longer than ViaMichelin estimates.

>I would guess that www.mappy.com covers those countries.<

And you would be wrong, dear colleague.

When we used viamichelin for trip planning in Germany, Austria, and France, we always took a little less time than the estimates. It just depends on your driving style. Of course, those estimates are actual, on-the-road driving time.

www.Maporama.com is another good site. In our experience, Bled to Plitvice is about 5 1/2 hours, Bled to Cortina is 3 1/2- 4 hours depending on the route. 111 through Southern Austria is absolutely beautiful. It is a slower road, but hooks right into the road to Kranska Gora which makes sense coming from Bled.

cheers,
Jan

Thanks, Slo.

It came up with my address in Madison, GA.

Slojan, thanks for maporama.com. It spotted my address pretty precisely. I also like it shows street numbers. That's about its Maps fonction.

On Itineraries fonction, however, I can't find "via" (to calculate indirect routes). The site doesn't really have it or am I blid not to see it?

I can only tell you that a couple of years ago we drove from Bled to Cortina. We left after breakfast -- I'm guessing at about 9 AM. We stopped to get our vignette for Austria just before entering the highway. We stopped in Lienz and thought we'd walk around a bit, but couldn't find any parking places, so forged on to Cortina, where we arrived about noon. So I'd say it is certainly under three hours driving time for that route.
