Vršiška cesta

This is another spectacular view of Slovenia that I recalled from our 2000
road trip, and had no trouble locating on the map because of the very tight
switchbacks. I especially liked this Google Streetview of it because it showcases the intricate cobblestone pattern on
the turns… In my journal from 2000 I described this part of the road as
follows: On our second day in Kranjska Gora, we drove up to Gorski Prelaz Vrsic, the highest pass in the Julian Alps , and the scenery was about the most
spectacular we’d ever seen. In our road atlas the road up the pass was white –
same colour as your knuckles if you go up it – which apparently indicates a
paved pathway with squared cobblestones on the near-vertical switchbacks.
