Troglav, Mountain summit in Dinaric Alps, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Troglav is a summit in the Dinaric Alps, sitting on the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, and is defined by three distinct peaks visible from a great distance. The highest of the three reaches about 1,913 meters (6,276 feet), with open ridgelines running between them.

When the border between the Venetian Republic and the Ottoman Empire was drawn across the Dinara range, Venetian surveyors reached a summit of 1,831 m and judged it higher than neighbouring Troglav. Their misjudgement left Troglav, at 1,913 m the highest peak of the range, on the Bosnian side, in the territory of the Livno municipality.

The name Troglav comes from an old Slavic deity with three heads, which maps directly onto the mountain's three peaks. This connection to pre-Christian belief is still part of how people in the region talk about the place.

The mountain can be approached from trailheads on both the Bosnian and Croatian sides of the border, so it helps to know in advance which side you plan to start from. Summer months offer the most stable conditions, as snow can linger on the upper sections well into spring.

The name means "three-headed", after the Slavic god Triglav, and refers to the mountain's three peaks. On some maps it appears as Veliki Troglav. The summit reaches 1,913 m in the northwestern part of the Livno municipality.
