Triglav

Triglav is a summit in the Balkan Mountains of central Bulgaria standing at 2,275 meters with three distinct peaks creating its recognizable profile. Marked hiking trails traverse the mountain and connect to Mazalat Hut situated at 1,620 meters for those trekking the region.

The name comes from ancient Slavic words referring to its three peaks and meaning three-headed mountain. Over centuries this location served as a strategic observation point to monitor the surrounding territory.

The mountain serves as a weather marker for local residents who observe its peaks to forecast atmospheric conditions through traditional knowledge. Its three summits hold a place in the region's identity and local awareness.

The mountain is accessible via marked trails suitable for hiking with shelter available at Mazalat Hut along the route. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions and bring appropriate gear for mountain trekking.

Two waterfalls cascade down the mountain's rocky slopes and differ noticeably in height. Kademliysko Praskalo and Babsko Praskalo create seasonal water features that shape the landscape experience.
