The Triglav National Park

Triglav National Park measures 83,807 hectares and includes almost all the Slovene section of the Julian Alps, also known as the Eastern Julian Alps. Our first and so far only national park is named after Mount Triglav (2864 m), the symbol of Slovenia.

Triglav National Park is situated close to the junction of the three borders of Austria, Italy, and Slovenia and contains the most characteristic landscape elements typical of Slovenia. In addition to the alpine valleys, mountain ridges, and peaks of the Julian Alps, other distinctive natural assets in the park include high mountain lakes, waterfalls, gorges, troughs, and high mountain karst phenomena. The remarkably rich and varied plant and animal world, with its numerous endemic species, deserves special attention as it reflects the interwoven contrasts between the cold alpine north and the gentle Mediterranean south. Various protection measures apply in the park area. Tourist centers: Bled, Bohinj, Bovec, Kranjska Gora, and others are located outside the park but very close to its borders.
