Southern Limestone Alps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Southern Limestone Alps are the ranges of the Eastern Alps south of the Central Eastern Alps. The distinction from the latter group, where the higher peaks are located, is based on differences in geological composition. The Southern Limestone Alps extend from the Sobretta-Gavia Alps in Lombardy in the west to the Pohorje in Slovenia in the east.
