Triglav National Park
Triglav National Park, National park in Julian Alps, Slovenia.
The park extends across 880 square kilometers of Alpine terrain with limestone peaks, valleys, lakes, waterfalls, and dense forests in northwestern Slovenia.
The area received its first protection status in 1924 as Alpine Conservation Park, before becoming Slovenia's only national park in 1981.
The mountain Triglav, reaching 2,864 meters, represents such an important national symbol that it appears on the Slovenian flag and military insignia.
The park maintains 38 mountain huts for overnight stays and features numerous marked trails connecting natural landmarks, waterfalls, and observation points.
More than 7,000 animal species inhabit the protected area, including wolves, bears, and lynx, along with 19 plant species found nowhere else.

Slovenia covers some 7,800 square miles (20,000 square kilometers) between the Alps and the Adriatic, offering a concentration of different landscapes from the Julian Alps to the coast. The karst caves of Postojna and Škocjan rank among Europe's most extensive underground systems, while lakes such as Bled and Bohinj sit in glacial valleys. Medieval fortifications like Predjama Castle, built into a cliff face, and Ljubljana Old Town with its preserved architecture document the region's history. Triglav National Park encompasses Slovenia's highest mountain range and provides hiking routes through valleys like Soča, passes such as Vršič, and plateaus including Velika Planina. The Adriatic coastal town of Piran preserves Venetian architecture, while smaller places like Ptuj show Roman and medieval remains. Waterfalls such as Savica and Peričnik, springs like Zelenci, and gorges including Vintgar and Tolmin demonstrate the variety of Slovenian natural landscapes between mountains and Mediterranean.
