I left Bled early in the morning and headed for the Vrisc Pass over the Julian Alps. The road through the pass was built during World War I by Russian prisoners and is known as the Russian Road. Descending the opposite side of the pass I headed into the Soca River valley. The Soca River is crystal clear and the blue green color of an old glass Coke bottle. After a long day of exploring I spent the night in the little town of Bovec. The next morning I headed back towards the pass stopping along the way to visit a WWI cemetery, get some more photos of the spectacular scenery and some shots of typical Slovenian hayracks. These hayracks are a signature of the Slovenian countryside and are protected.
