"If it's just about preserving nature then parking will be free, only number of spots limited"
Similar with radars. Here and in Austria they are everywhere.
Last year I drove in France and don't remember seeing any in villages. On main roads yes (and outside villages and highways), but not on side roads and small villages. There they nicely put speed bumps, islands in middle, zigzag side barriers, spread parking zigzag so practically you can't drive over 60.
So you see whose priority is fining, whose is traffic safety.

92 spots? On Vršič there are 3 huts, when foreigners fill them in summer season, parking spots will be full too.

@mojcula
I think the same as you, you've written everything that's true. I completely agree with you.
Indeed Austrians and Italians have solved these problems well.
We are just Slovenians ...
LP!

I don't know about Austria, but in Italy I only paid 3 € for two days at the parking at Kreutzempass. Everything else is not chargeable, although there were occasionally roads of Vršič rank in between.

So mirank you only hike on such trails where there are no paid parkings or even use of private forest road  . In Austria for example, (a few years ago) we got a key at a private hut, paid 5 euros to open the barrier. I could list more, but I won't, because we discussed this a while ago.

@turbo
I'm not talking about parking, but in this case it was about using the forest road, by which you could drive a bit higher. From the owners of that road you could get the key to open the barrier. A few years ago we paid 5 euros.
Maybe now you understand what I wrote.

Maybe you'll understand someday that it wasn't about using private road with barrier, but about use and parking on state roads and passes. I clearly wrote that I was in Austria only a few times and don't comment on conditions there.

Yes, yes, yes - I will, I will understand, however you want, or you want ...
Well, that's how it is, everyone understands in their own way.

Obviously today truth and understanding have many faces. Jokingly I'd say that every eye has its own "painter".

In the Carnic Alps there are no barriers and nothing is paid anywhere. Exception is some valley in the Furlan Dolomites, the prealpine world of the Carnians. Dolomites are another story, but even there it's free in many places.
In the Dolomites I parked for free even at such a crowded tourist spot as Falzarego pass. And at starting points for Civetta, Pelmo, Sorapiss, Schiara, at Lunelli hut, in San Martino di Castrozza. Actually, besides the famous road under Tre Cime, the only place I remember relatively high parking fee is Fischleintal valley in Sexten Dolomites. Just that.

I already said I wouldn't repeat myself... but I have to again, because wrong info about paid parking in our neighborhood keeps repeating.
In the last 5-6 years I've walked and driven almost all Dolomites. In that time I've spent 50+ days there. I paid parking exactly 1x. And even there it wouldn't have been necessary if we'd walked another 3/4 hour more (round trip), but that day we already had 11 hours of walking.
Interestingly, even inside tourist towns like Cortina, Canazei... there are free parking spots. Can you imagine that at Bled?
Those who write that everything is paid are mainly those who know these areas extremely poorly. They go to a few most crowded tourist spots, preferably drive to the highest possible point, and there sometimes really pay. Or they are extremely unresourceful, and between two 200m apart parkings choose the paid one, even though the other is free

If Slovenia had ten Vršičs and a couple extra Bleds and such, they'd probably charge a bit less too.

oh, when will us "little Slovenians" admit that in certain "segments" we absolutely "jump the queue"!!!

If Slovenia had 10 Bleds there'd simply be 10x more local sheriffs living off "charging for air".

Seems people are quite satisfied with them to elect them. What are you crying about now?
Most interesting is they're introducing double billing practice. We're not only shortchanged around Maribor compared to "pure-blooded" Mariborans who pay less.
