Emergency situations

Should the worst happen, it is vital you know what to do. All across Europe, the emergency services number is 112, and from this you can access the fire service, ambulances and emergency vets. The police are on 113 and mountain rescue on 140. In all cases, the calls can be held in English. For all likely bike-related incidents, this should cover you but it is also worth noting that should you have a car accident, as a foreigner, you will need to call the police. If it’s not an emergency, the contact details of medical centres can be found in Appendix C; there will always be English speakers in those centres.

It makes sense to get travel insurance for any trip to Slovenia. While there is reciprocal health care through the European Health Insurance Card or EHIC (for the time being at least – Brexit may alter this), it is always a good idea to take out extra insurance. This could also include third party liability and protection for your bike if you’re taking it.
