Loiblpass
B91Ferlach to Tržič
An old Carinthian pass to the Slovenian border.
The B91 climbs to the Loibl Pass on the Austria–Slovenia border, the road tunnelling beneath the old 1,367 m crossing in the Karawanks above Ferlach. Steep, wooded and historic; mind the gradient, the hairpins, and the dark border tunnel near the top.
