Arriving by car

The majority of drivers enter Slovenia by motorway. To drive on motorways in Slovenia you
must have a vignette, or you can face heavy fines. The basic cross-shaped motorway
network in the country is complete. Local roads are the most picturesque and interesting
routes around the country and provide the best opportunity to get to know its natural
beauty and its sights.

Road safety

Regulations require the use of dipped lights at all times when driving, even during the day,
while the maximum allowed blood alcohol level is 0.5 parts per thousand. Breath tests are
frequent, so it is perhaps better to avoid drinking and driving altogether. Canoeing venue in
Solkan is located 2 km from the City centre of Nova Gorica.

First aid
A team with first aid will be located in the finish area. The organisers will advise participants
that emergency medical services will cover only emergency cases and that all participants
are responsible to arrange their own medical insurance policy at their own cost.

Water safety
Rescue service in competition area will be organised during the races.

Medical Insurance
Organising Committee kindly asks all participants of the event to ensure medical insurance
policy in their countries. All costs above the regular first aid and ambulance services are to
be covered by this medical insurance policy. Organising Committee will not cover any
expenses in connection with hospital treatment.
