A DAY IN THE JULIAN ALPS

Our one splurge this trip was hiring a private guide, recommended by Rick Steves, to take us on a day trip through the Julian Alps. Our guide, Gorazd, told us he did the same tour yesterday, and it rained all day in the mountains. We were very lucky to go today. I will let the pictures tell the story.

WW I graveyard. These Alps were the site of many battles

look closely for the rungs-there is a cave at the bottom, and the
soldiers used the rungs to get up to the top of the mountain at great
peril from snipers across the way
