Motorway Toll Sticker (E-vinjeta)All vehicles using Slovenian motorways must purchase an electronic toll sticker (E-vinjeta) before entering the motorway network. The vignette is linked to the vehicle registration number, and no physical sticker needs to be displayed on the windscreen. Motorhomes with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes do not use the vignette system and must instead use the DarsGo electronic toll system. Official website: https://evinjeta.dars.si --- Climb and Road Safety The road from Zreče to Rogla is fully paved, well maintained, and suitable for motorhomes, but it involves an elevation gain of approximately 1,000 metres. We recommend: using low gears when climbing; using engine braking when descending; avoiding prolonged braking to prevent overheating of the braking system. ---
RECOMMENDED ROUTE (IMPORTANT)
Regardless of your country of departure (Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, etc.), the recommended route to reach Rogla by motorhome is: Slovenian motorway A1 Exit: Slovenske Konjice Direction: Zreče Continue to Rogla via Cesta na Roglo road The only difference between countries is the motorway route used before entering Slovenia. ---
WHY THIS ROUTE IS RECOMMENDED
Rogla is located in the Pohorje mountain range and can be reached from several directions. Satellite navigation systems and some navigation apps may suggest shorter routes that are not suitable for motorhomes. The northern and western approaches may include: gradients exceeding 14–15%; forest or unpaved roads; very narrow carriageways; difficult passing conditions for large vehicles. The climb from Zreče (southern approach) is the only route specifically designed and maintained to allow safe access for tourist coaches, motorhomes, and heavy vehicles. ---

WHOC
World Hoopers Open Chanmpionship (WHOC) is born from an idea of Alfonso Sabbatini, who is the legal owner of the name, acronym, logo, concept, framework, definitions, rules & regulations and everything related to it.
The mission is to provide a framework for the ultimate in hoopers competition, showcasing the highest level human/canine partnership, sportsmanship, and athleticism; and enabling all dogs, whether pedigreed or not, to compete in an environment that is focused on the sport of hoopers.
WHOC will be an annual event with the aim to be hosted by organisers in a different country each year
Nations can send their teams to participate.
Entry for teams from each country must come from only one national team leader. The national team leader wishing to seek recognition to bring its team to WHOC 2026 should contact us at
info@whoc.dog
The National Manager is responsible for writing a document that explains how people in the country can become members
of the WHOC national team. Each country’s team selection process must be non-discriminatory with regard to both handlers and dogs,
and must be approved by the WHOC organising committee.
