The Martens had to take off for Germany as they were flying out of a different airport than us so we were on our own the last day. We took a drive through the Julian Alps (named after Julius Caesar) and a walk through the Vintgar Gorge, both fairly close to the Lake Bled area.
Here we are at the summit of Vrsic Pass of the Julian Alps. On the way we passed through what was once a leading winter resort and still a popular place with Croatian skiers and saw the worlds biggest ski jump. They still hold the ski-flying world championships every year.
A shot of Mount Triglav. We drove back to the Lake Bled area to the entrance of Vintgar Gorge. We got out of the car and paid a few Euros to walk along the wall of the gorge for about a mile.
These pictures just don't do it justice. The water was so crystal clear and the color was the most beautiful blues and greens.
There are a lot more pictures of this gorge with waterfalls, etc but it would take up too much room!
It was really a peaceful, awe inspiring walk. This was nature at it's best.
