Train ride: Bohinjska Bistrica – Most na Soči

At the station, you drive your car onto the train to enjoy a fantastic trip on an open carriage. This unique journey takes you to the other side of the Vogel mountains.

At Most na Soči, you drive off the train and stand face to face with the stunning blue water of the Soča river. From here, it’s a quick drive to the Tolmin Gorge and the Kozjak waterfall. But just the train journey alone is already a fantastic experience.

The train also operates in the opposite direction. So you can also take the car train towards Lake Bohinj.

Booking tickets for the car train

You cannot reserve tickets. The only option is to join the queue with your car. If you’re on time, you can board the train. The train is usually full during the high season, so it’s wise to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before departure to be sure of a spot.

10 to 15 minutes before the train departs, boarding with cars begins.

Motorhome on the Car Train?

The car train transports cars, vans, pick-ups and motorhomes. But take note! The train can only carry vehicles up to 3 metres in height and 2.4 metres in width. So probably your motorhome can come along! And if you want to bring a folding camper on the car train, that’s no problem either.
