On Thursday, 4 January 2024, students of the Civil Engineering programme visited the Karavanke tunnel on a field trip within the course Geotechnology, accompanied by lecturer Dr Jakob Likar. The group met at Hrušica, in front of the DARS building.

The event lasted about three hours. Students first attended a presentation of the project in the DARS meeting room, where experts explained the fascinating aspects and demands of this innovative engineering undertaking and the importance of the Karavanke tunnel in the transport infrastructure between Slovenia and Austria.

After the introduction the group entered the tunnel with a guide. The tour gave them direct contact with the technical and safety aspects of the tunnel and showed how engineering enables a seamless connection between two countries. The field trip combined the informative part at DARS with a practical tour of the tunnel.
