The Alps (Pt. 2/2)
Today, our trip through The Alps concludes with even more of the region's most magical sights. From charming villages, beautiful lakes, and iconic peaks, there's plenty in store - so let's get our journey started.
After primarily exploring the Austrian, Swiss, and French Alps in the first update - we'll be focusing in on the southern portions of the Alps today, which includes Slovenia's Julian and Kamnik Alps. Small, charming villages dot the Slovenian hillsides and riversides like the one below.
We head further into the Alps, reaching the foothills of Slovenia's Julian Alps - home to one of the region's most magical sights, Lake Bled. This bluish-green lake is home
to a charming church on an island, a medieval castle clinging to a rocky cliff and some of the highest peaks of the Julian Alps serving as backdrops - and it's no wonder why over the years it's become one of the country's most popular destinations.
Slovenia's highest point is the majestic peak of Triglav - with an elevation of 9,396 feet, it's highest peak of the Julian Alps and an iconic the symbol of Slovenia. It's also the centerpiece of Triglav National Park, Slovenia's only national park.
Our last sight from Slovenia is the beautiful Predjama Castle. This Renaissance era landmark is the world's largest cave castle in the world and is one of many historical sights in Slovenia's Inner Carniola region.
Our tour of the Alps finishes up with one final overview of Lake Garda, Italy - located on the edge of the southern limestone Alps, it's one of the region's crown jewels and is spectacular from above.
