Mangart mountain seen from Fusine Lakes, Italy
Alpine peace
Sandwiched between Austria and Slovenia but located in Italy, this alpine lake is one of a pair that lie near the base of the stony peak called Mangart. The summit is one of the high points of the Julian Alps, a subrange named after the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, who developed villages and roads in the region during his reign. Speaking of roads, look no further than the Julians if you're seeking a less-travelled, long-distance trail. Nearby, the Juliana Trail encircles Slovenia's only national park in a 270-kilometre loop.

Ironically, this peaceful mountain range was named after a warlord.
