Problems of mass tourism

Roads normally used for forestry only are used by personal cars. The starting points for trips in the mountains are parked by hundreds of cars - often also on the pastures and edges of forests.

The road across the Vršič pass may become almost impassable. The noise of motors and cars can be heard right up to the peaks above!

Heaps of rubbish are left after the visitors.

Massive flights of helicopters in the Triglav National park can be observed lately. Often these flights are declared as catering flights for mountain huts or "official business" flights. But it looks like that these helicopters carry visitors that can afford such flights. Peace in the park is ruined by all terrain vehicles in summer and snow mobiles in winter.

Often freshly built forestry roads, skidding tracks and cut down timber prevent the visitors to enjoy the unspoiled nature.
