Triglav National Park

Triglav National Park is Slovenia’s only national park and a jewel of the Julian Alps, offering visitors a breathtaking blend of pristine wilderness, dramatic mountain scenery, and rich biodiversity. Spanning nearly 84,000 hectares, the park is named after Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest peak at 2,864 meters, which stands as a national symbol and a popular goal for hikers and mountaineers.

The park’s landscape is a tapestry of dense forests, high alpine meadows, rugged ridges, and crystal-clear rivers and lakes—including Lake Bohinj, the country’s largest natural lake. Over 7,000 animal species and 1,600 plant species thrive here, with 19 endemic plants and rare wildlife such as wolves, bears, and lynxes calling the park home. The area’s unique geology features more than 250 springs and countless waterfalls, making it a paradise for nature lovers and photographers.

Visitors can explore a network of well-marked trails suitable for all abilities, from gentle valley walks to challenging climbs. Picturesque villages and traditional alpine settlements dot the landscape, offering opportunities to experience local culture and hospitality. The park is divided into three conservation zones, each with varying levels of protection, and visitors are encouraged to respect the fragile environment by following marked paths and practicing Leave No Trace principles.

Triglav National Park is open year-round, with each season revealing a different aspect of its beauty. Whether you seek adventure, tranquility, or a deeper connection with nature, the park promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of Slovenia.
