Parking on Pokljuka

That's what happens if you don't understand the instructions on the parking meter well enough (otherwise in Slovenian and English), but you're honest and pay for two days with two tickets only with the same date.

You put a request on the windshield in Slovenian and German not to fine you, since you'll return the next day afternoon - which is paid!

Friendly parking managers on Pokljuka put clamps slyly on the front right wheel, which is forbidden (possibility of vehicle damage if you don't notice the clamps)!

Because they save in Gorenjska style, they don't tuck any notice under the wiper or anywhere else!

I felt really good as a Slovene when we discussed our friendliness next to the unfortunate German's car with a group of French and Austrians....

Friendly welcome to Pokljuka!

Can a person be completely stunned and at the same time not surprised at all?

Shame! I understand what the visitors wanted, unfortunately the wardens didn't understand or didn't want to understand and acted along the line of least resistance. The parking manager or the mayor should apologize to the tourists, and it would already be half better.

It's not even about the line of least resistance, the specimen who puts clamps in such a case can only be infinitely stupid or infinitely rotten. The matter should definitely go to disciplinary... but I fear it will be rewarded instead. It would also be nice to publish that "notice of violation" where the specimen is signed. Because after all... he gets paid for his name being there and if it comes to "public lynching" that's just part of his job.

But I wonder... why do people still park at the paid parking lot on Pokljuka. Ok, in this case really foreigners who obviously didn't know how things are handled there...

Yes, Marjan, it will hold. Although I think that with the general trend of stupidity, the astonishment will slowly die out too. Unfortunately!

Give a picture of the parking lot, maybe they parked at the end of the road where it's apparently no longer allowed.

Jure1977 I think that's not the warden's job, the mayor has nothing to do with it either, the parking manager does that. This parking lot is owned by the Pokljuka Sports Center, who manages it, just google a bit, there aren't many Gorenjci involved except when work needs to be done for the race to succeed. It's good that most parking lots are owned by the army which is not allowed to charge parking fees.
LG I think from RP to Uskovnica it's no longer allowed to park anywhere, the hut is also without parking. The road from Srednja vas to Uskovnica according to some ZGS decree also prohibits driving in summer for 3 months

It changes nothing who the parking manager is. The rotten one is and will remain so.zavijanje z očmi From the description, the guy even paid, admittedly a bit clumsily but that's not how tourism is done.

But the manager can't just mount the clamps himself, only some "official person" who has a contract with the manager can do that. So the manager called the warden, and he came with the clamps.

But something else is possible... you can't see exactly in the picture, but is the vehicle by chance a camper? Because wardens are allergic to those anyway and I think they don't care at all if someone is inside or not, they don't even care about the paid parking fee. Again probably due to limited headspace...

The ticket says caravan. But if the poor guys came with a camper and parked where camper ban is marked, then it's a different story.

@dragonar; my post was not criticism of the mayor, because I know he's not responsible for it, nor do I know him and have no right to judge him in any way. But he could have written a short letter on behalf of the municipality where the parking lot is located, on behalf of all of us together. As long as we think in a way that everyone only does what they are formally responsible for or tasked with, nothing more, unfortunately there will be no progress. And to avoid misunderstanding, I mean this generally for all of us and not just specifically for the mayor, who in my opinion has a nice opportunity here to show himself and let tourists know with a nice gesture that they care about tourists or guests.

Jure, even if he would, nothing for it, just that like everything else Pokljuka is controlled by various lobbies and various private interests

Again we're getting into smart talk and convincing who is right. The matter is very simple, probably too simple. If every debater asked Uncle Google, everything would be clear to everyone.

In short, Bohinj municipality cashes in and fines.

They support it: TNP, Rudno polje Sports Park, PZS and others

@julius; there was no smart talk and you didn't get my point. To not burden the hiking website with such and other opinions, I suggest we wrap it up.

Has anyone wondered what if the German put the shackles on himself, that would explain why the shackles are on the right front tire, maybe because there are sliding doors on the right and entry to the rear living area of the camper. And why no official paper from an authority on the car...

Some lock their steering wheels additionally, others just the tires...
So you've created a big chaos on social networks...

HaLF is right!
This is a camper; visible from the wheels + label on parking ticket: kombifahrzeug.
The so-called shackles are not official from wardens, but on free sale for 38€ for vehicle owners:

Now someone can "apologize" to the authorities for negative PR or pogrom mežikanje

We apologize to those affected for the pogrom. Humbly we admit that we are ignorant and that the information age has overrun us. We gasp even when we have no clue. Once more we can humbly sprinkle ashes on ourselves! nasmeh
