Cruising Slovenia is an episode in which we drive through the Julian Alps in Slovenia. It is a special episode dedicated to my first 25 subscribers.
The Julian Alps are situated on the North Western side of Slovenia bordering with Italy and Austria, and it is part of the Southern Limestone Alps. This part of the alps is named after Julius Caesar, who founded the municipium of Cividale del Friuli on the foot of these mountains. With reaching to a hight of 2,864 m | 9396 ft., Triglav an otherwise very impressive peak, isn’t as high as the real giants of the Alps, yet a large part of the Julian Alps is covered by the National Park named after Triglav. The status of National Park makes this area a very (eco)- tourist friendly environment as well one of Europe best preserved pieces of nature with gorgeous Alpine landscapes.
In this video we glide westward towards the Italy border while on our right we can see the Karawanks mountain range, better known as Karavanke (Slov), with 120 kilometers one of the longest mountain ranges in the European Alps. On our right we can see the Julian Alps till we reach the hamlet of Gozd Martuljek where we cross the Sava river over a concrete bridge with a most picturesque view on the Julian Alps. (Note the peak here is not Triglav but Spik)
From there on we continue into the town of Kranjska Gora where we dive deeper into the Julian Alps, over the Vršiška road we continue towards the Vršič Pass on an elevation of 1,611 m | 5285 ft.
Which leads towards the Trenta Valley and the Soča, Europa’s (if not worlds) most beautiful emerald alpine rivers. However unfortunately today we won’t reach that far, we stop while we climb up the pass.
