WIPPACH.
[Chap. i.
All these mysterious outbursts and disappearances may have
contributed much to the wonders with which the myths of
the ancients had invested the neighbouring countries.*
From Wippach to St. Veit the road ran due south along a
level plain, with Mount Nanos still on our left, and a range
of sandstone hills on our right, which we ascended near St.
Veit; but we had no means of observing the nature of the
country between this place and Trieste, as it was late at
night before we reached that city.
