Kranjska Gora: Live webcam Vršič - Erjavčeva house - Slovenia
Vršič Pass has served as a military and mountain-road crossing in Slovenia’s Julian Alps since the First World War. At 1,611 metres, it is Slovenia’s highest road pass, linking Kranjska Gora with the Soča Valley over a limestone saddle beneath high alpine ridges. The modern route was built in 1915–16 by Russian prisoners of war for the Austro-Hungarian military; many died in avalanches and harsh labour conditions. The nearby Russian Chapel, erected by surviving prisoners, remains their memorial. Vršič lies within Triglav National Park, where larch and spruce woods rise into pale rock faces and the upper basins of the Soča and Sava Dolinka watersheds meet.

Slovenia occupies a meeting point of the Alps, the Pannonian Plain, the Dinaric mountains and the Adriatic coast in south-central Europe. The Julian Alps rise in the northwest, where Triglav is the country’s highest mountain, while the Soča River is known for its clear turquoise water. Karst terrain has shaped caves such as Postojna Cave and the Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Ljubljana combines a riverside old town with works by architect Jože Plečnik; farther east, wine-growing regions and thermal springs add another dimension. Slovenian food reflects Alpine, Mediterranean and Balkan influences. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Slovenia and the northern Adriatic.
