Route With a Legendary Past: From Zagreb to Ljubljana Along The Sava River

Take a seat on a modest-looking international train between Zagreb and Ljubljana—but don't be fooled by appearances! This route once carried the legendary Simplon Orient Express, whisking passengers between Istanbul and Paris. In this video, we’ll journey alongside the Sava River, explore a unique locomotive change in Dobova, and dive into the fascinating reason why Slovenia's railway runs on a different voltage than the rest of former Yugoslavia.

Expect onboard impressions, a complete train tour, historic insights, and scenic landscapes as we follow in the footsteps of Hercule Poirot and early 20th-century travelers. Whether you're a railway fan, a history buff, or simply love stunning European scenery, this ride has something for you.
