The pictures aren't perfect but she's moving around a lot. I found her in Austria yesterday.
I would hope it's camponotus cruentatus but I'm not sure.
I enhanced the colors on the pictures a little for visibility the red is slightly more orange and darker than it appears here.

According to a distribution map it's not very likely to be camponotus cruentatus.
Close to Slovenia and Italy so on the edge of where you could expect to see them.
