Fifty cobbled hairpins over the Julian Alps.
The Vršič Pass at 1,611 m is Slovenia's highest mountain pass, a relentless stack of fifty numbered hairpins, many still cobbled, over the Julian Alps between Kranjska Gora and the Soča valley. Spectacular and demanding; take the cobbled bends slowly and mind the cyclists, coaches and weather over the top.
