Just planning a 10 day Jaunt starting and finishing at Ijmuiden DFDS ferry terminal, we are taking 3 days to drive to Spittal an der drau in Austria which is not far from the Slovenia border.

I reckon we have 3 days to spend in and around Slovenia before we have to set off back towards Ijmuiden direction to catch our ferry on day 10, its these 3 days I'm looking for suggestions for, ideally we want to set off from Spittal on day 4 and arrive back at Spittal end of Day 6 to give us 4 days liesurely ride back to the ferry, usually leave ourselves a short last day going for the ferry.

So any help with routes, places to see and visit along with accomodation recommendations would be good.

Normally like to ride 200 to 240ish miles daily depending on roads.

Thanks
 
Vrsic pass is a must

Heres what ive planned so far, day 4 175 miles, day 5 150miles and day 6 150miles, ideally 200 mile days would be better was planning to use Lubliana for base but open to suggestions prefer smaller towns if possible

Spittal, seems to be a town in Northumberland. Do you mean, Spittal an der Drau?

The popular destination of Bled is just 80 kms / 50 miles from Spittal an der Drau, so it would suit you well as it would be easy to get to / from. Not least Bled is a great hub, as you’ll see from these suggestions.

ADAC do a nice free map that embraces Slovenia, see the sticky.

Here’s a screen shot, with Spittal an der Drau towards the top left corner, with Bled near enough in the middle:

A branch of the Slovenian tourist office produces a very nice free guide:

This site may have some ideas:

Here’s a screenshot, which shows that Bled can definitely work:

Alpentourer magazine has a nice circular route, that can be centered on Bled, that might do you. It’s 270 km / 170 miles around. Here’s a screenshot:

I can tell you that nobody in the area uses the full title, its always just Spittal The full title only appears on official documents.

No problem.

Given your three days to kill, I think I'd go for Bled and use this map of routes to hack out rides of different lengths to suit your mood (and weather) on the day.
