Where is a good place to go in Austria for some mountain pass roads? I shall be in Slovina for a week, so southern Austria would be better. Can anyone reccomend some good roads?
-
Get down to Berchtesgarden and razz up and down the access road to Hitler's 'hideout'. Better still, bribe one of the special coach drivers to race you down.

Maybe a bit too far North for you, Tunnie, but this is apparently very good:

According to google maps thats in the west, that looks doable for me! I will be in Northern Slovina.
Looks very nice, cheers for that.

Well you might be able to razz down but I think up will be a lot more difficult ;D

I would say make a decent diversion and go to THE mountain pass...
Stelvio! :)
Quite simply the finest "road" you can ever drive along.
Just remember to use engine braking! ;)
I will never forget Mr DTM showing me how to drive down that pass... amazing. 8-)

I've got a whole bunch of photo's from the top of that, and the end of the glacier.... a bit of a scare coming down into italy.... the brake fluid boiled..... ARGGHHH ran out of handbrake lining just before the bottom as well !
overnighter in the village inn, lovely grub, got new brakes the next day :D
(we were a tad over loaded probably, 5 up and luggage for 3 weeks, and 3 of the 5 were "women" )

I can fly to Slovina for £75, car hire is £92 for the week, its cheaper to fly and rent, not to mention time saved.
-
listen mate, Clarkson's already proven it's quicker to drive than fly.....
:D
and after all the Bugerabouti can't be THAT much quicker than the elite surely ??? :D
:y

I agree with Stelvio, but get a car with a decent power to weight ratio. Remember you'll lose quite a lot of grunt at the top.
