Some Julian Alps plants for ID please

I was wondering if any of you guys could help ID these plants I found growing in the Julian Alps, Slovenia.
1. A
Campanula
. This one is really puzzling me. It was growing in the village of Brod not far from Lake Bohinj so may possibly have been a garden escape rather than natural. According to the local flora the species found in that area are:
C. zoysii, patula, rapunculus, persicifolia, barbata, glomerata, cervicaria, spicata, thyrsoides, latifolia, trachelium, rapunculoides, bononiensis, carnica, witasekiana, inconcessa, cochleariifolia, cespitosa, scheuchzeri & rotundifolia
. I haven't been able to convince myself it is any of them.
2. A
Sedum
. Growing amongst rocks near Kranjska Gora. Could it be
S. atratum
3. A
Silene
?. Growing on rocks above Lake Bohinj.
I would be grateful for any help
Aaron

Perhaps the first is Campanula rotundifolia?

Thank you Mark - now realize I could have attached the pics differently.
Lesley - not sure about
C. rotundifolia
- that was certainly a common plant in the area but this was rather bigger than average (c.40cm) and has broader stem leaves than I've seen on that species. Of course it is a very variable plant

Thanks Franz & Maggi. The nearest I could find was
S. atratum
but was a bit put off by the lack of red colour - mystery solved

Possibly Silene veselskyi ... but I am not totally convinced.
