Every year the same game. As soon as the schools are closed and the holiday beckons, thousands of cars hit the road. The destination? Often the south, towards the Adriatic or simply out of the daily grind. This migration on wheels – the "great caravan" – sounds romantic at first, but in reality, it's more of a test of nerves.

The Pentecost Caravan Rolls (Slowly)

The classic transit routes are particularly affected. The Tauern motorway is unfortunately no stranger to traffic jam horror reports. This Pentecost seems to be particularly bad. Reports are already talking about significant waiting times that can quickly reach 45 minutes or more. This is no longer a small traffic jam; it's a serious test of patience.

Traffic Jam Hotspots and Tests of Patience

Packed car, good mood at the start, the music is playing, and then you stop. Kilometers of metal avalanches. Stop and go at a snail's pace. The air conditioning struggles, the kids in the backseat get restless. This is the reality for many who are on the road during the Pentecost weekend. A real traffic jam warning that should be taken seriously.

Your Test of Nerves for the Weekend

Are you ready for this adventure? Or rather: Are you ready for the never-ending story of the Pentecost traffic jam? Pack extra snacks, download audiobooks, and try to breathe deeply. Because patience is your most important travel companion this weekend.

The Pentecost weekend promises sun and freedom, but the way there can be rocky – or rather: heavily trafficked. Anyone setting off now or planning to drive should prepare for full roads and long waiting times. The caravan moves, and it moves slowly.
