About Us
The all-Slovenian project Network of motorhome stops across Slovenia has laid good foundations for future work since June 2014, when the initiative was presented at Mirna.
Slovenian municipalities are involved in the project, which are united by the awareness that travelers with motorhomes are valuable guests who want to explore and experience Slovenia up close and by no means just from the highway.
It is a unique way of connecting Slovenian municipalities, which is an opportunity for targeted promotion of the local community.
With the logo, we connect the motorhome and Slovenia as a whole, we symbolize connection and continuous movement, development, growth, with soft lines we emphasize the diversity of the Slovenian landscape, and with openness, the possibility of continuous expansion and integration.
With the slogan “Stop – Rest – Experience Slovenia in a Motorhome”, we invite travelers with motorhomes to stop in Slovenia, rest and, above all, experience our beautiful, diverse and green country.
In the partner municipalities, travelers with motorhomes can currently stop at more than 160 different locations. In some places he can be cared for, in other places he can just spend the night carefree, and in some places they offer him all the comfort he needs while traveling and exploring. Above all, all locations are an excellent starting point for exploring and experiencing Slovenia.

- PzA = construction engineering facility – construction documentation and administrative permits:
- a BUILDING PERMIT + PZI is MANDATORY for any new development of a parking lot larger than 200m2
- if there are no construction interventions and the parking lot is already arranged, it only needs to be properly equipped (connections to GJI – a simple facility) and marked
- Is it necessary to determine the intended use for PzA in OPN?
- in settlements on building land (SS, SK, CU…) it is not necessary, if there is e.g. permissible activity – recreation, economic public infrastructure and permissible facilities for these activities
- in nature, near a settlement or tourist attraction (on K1, K2, G), a dedicated
