Looks like racers performing the carrying Roadblock assemble the wooden pieces in front of Dežnik at 13 Trubarjeva cesta, and rejoin their partners at Congress Sq, where they get the next clue sending them to Pivka jama. (The Street View imagery is quite dated; the area has been spruced up since.)

Joel/Garrett and Steve/Anna Leigh are turning from Tržaška cesta in Ljubljana onto the A2, which fits into the drive towards Pivka jama.

The kayaking (second Roadblock?) looks like the Fonda Fish Farm in Parecag on the Adriatic Coast, right next to the Croatian border. (You'd get there through the docks at Lucija.)

Edited: I missed the second paddle (held by Steve) behind Anna Leigh, so the kayaking's probably not a second Roadblock as elthemagnifico mentioned.

looks like the barnacle one may be going to be a detour task, with the other option remains to be seen
(Edit: i believe kayaking may be the second detour option)
the dragon assembly will be an RI task which may be done right after they descend the cave ( teams need to use headlight to enter the cave, so it makes sense the assembling is done when they reach the deep of the cave)
RB might be first since its on the city
 
based on this, so probably the order of the route of this leg will be

pit start > first location > rb > cave > RI task > third location > DT > pit stop (unless theres another RI before the pit stop)

Pit Stop photo seems to be the gravel parking lot of Grad Socerb outside Koper. The trees behind Phil and the Pit Stop greeter match Google Street view images
