Your choices......Julius Ceasar in the Roman Era, or Julie Andrews in the "Sound of Music" Era. -----The hills are alive with the sound of music------- The answer at the end of this posting.
The Julian Alps, in a sense, is like Yosemite National Park. Three differences: It's limestone, not granite, it is both uplifted and glacier-carved, and over 300,000 soldiers were killed here in World War I.
Most of it is now protected in the Triglav National Park. The premier drive is Vrsic Pass. Similiar to the Tioga Pass through Yosemite. Today, we will focus on the views, tomorrow's post on the war history.
To give you the immensity that can't be portrayed in these photos, to follow are three pictures of a mountain range, wide angle to telephoto. In the first photo, note the small hole in the mountain range right of center. The triangle gap in the last photo is larger than the Statue of Liberty.

Oh, Julius Ceasar. The Romans were everywhere, naming everything 2000 years ago.
