On hot summer days, you can pack your swimsuit. There are a few accessible spots where the water is deeper. It's a refreshing way to cool off. In midsummer, the water is quite pleasant and not too cold.

A stop at the Rieplhof is highly recommended. The service is super friendly and accommodating. The coffee and apple strudel taste excellent.

A bench with a table invites you to take a short break. There is a free toilet (donations welcome) where you can also fill up your water bottles.

It's worth taking a short break here to recover from the climb. A tranquil border crossing with a small bench on the Slovenian side. There is a free toilet (donations welcome) where you can also fill up your water bottles. On the Austrian side there is a restaurant (self-service, closed on Tuesdays) that serves classic Austrian dishes.

Great views of the Slovenian mountains and the serpentines are easy to pass and the traffic was manageable on our way up.
