What people say

"The Russian Chapel is a small wooden structure dedicated to Saint Vladimir. It was built between 1916 and 1917 by Russian prisoners of war who were forced into labor during World War I. The chapel serves as a war memorial to honor the memory of those who died while building the Vršič Pass road, a challenging feat of engineering. It also stands as a symbolic link between Slovenia and Russia."
