Stau-chaos and forest fires: travel warnings for holidaymakers in Croatia!
On Saturday, June 21, 2025, the traffic experts from the ÖAMTC expect an extremely strong travel weekend, in particular with a significant volume of traffic on the return trips towards Germany. The tunnel construction site on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) near Golling and several other heavily frequented motorways were identified as critical stowage hotspots. These include the Inn Valley Autobahn (A12) in the Innsbruck area, the Brenner Autobahn (A13), as well as the Rhine Valley Autobahn (A14) near Bludenz.
The traffic situation is additionally tightened by a temporary lock of the coastal motorway D8 in Croatia. This measure is necessary due to forest fires that are currently raging in several regions of the country. Evacuations have already been in the areas of Pisak and Marušići, while the closure between Omiš and Dubci concerns tourist travelers. The high temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius in summer promote the risk of forest fire, which presents the emergency services with great challenges.
