Erected to honor those who died in the war, The Russian Chapel features two small towers in the classic Russian style. Built by Russian war prisoners of World War I, the chapel is surrounded by graves of soldiers. You may not be able to enter, but the exterior is worth the visit--consider bringing a camera or some snack for a picnic nearby.

There’s not a tour or anything, but the story behind the chapel is compelling. We only stayed about 15 minutes to walk around a bit, but some people were listening to a audio explanation.

Special place that you must see. It has really high historical meaning and also it looks beautiful! In the middle of nature going towards Vršič. Be careful - park on the places where it’s allowed

After getting there and the road was closed due to snow, we decided to hike up the road to the chapel. The chapel itself is pretty disappointing, there was no seating after our long walk, and it’s not actually much to see itself. However, the walk there (as tiring as it was) made it worth it. The views were incredible, albeit this had nothing to do with the chapel (hence the 3* for the chapel itself). Would definitely recommend visiting the Pass but don’t bother with the chapel itself
