Triglav National Park
First as an idea and then as a nature conservation institution, Triglav National Park (TNP)
entered the history of the Eastern Julian Alps at the beginning of the 20th century. It is among the earliest parks established in the Alps and one of Slovenia’s greatest natural treasures. The highlights of its history include the following: in 1906, the first protection proposal was launched; in 1924 an »Alpine Protection Park« (1,600 ha) was established in the Triglav Lakes Valley; 1961 marks the decree promulgating Triglav Lakes Valley as the Triglav National Park (2,000 ha) and in 1981 the Triglav National Park Act (83,807 ha) was passed.
TNP’s most prominent landscape features include glacier-shaped valleys, mountain plateaus and high-altitude mountains above the tree line. The park prides itself on pure waters, deep-cut gorges, remains of virgin forests, richness of biodiversity, and an eldorado of mountain flowers, including several endemic plants such as Zois’ Bellflower (Campanula zoysii), Julian Poppy (Papaver alpinum subsp. ernesti-mayeri) and Silver-leaved Cranesbill (Geranium argentum). Typical park animals include chamois, ibex, red deer, brown bear, lynx, eagles, numerous bird and reptile species, and the endemic marble trout. In short, TNP is home to over 5,500 plant and animal species.
In this area, agriculture and nature conservation walk hand in hand, preserving the habitat for plant and animal species and natural resources needed for the survival of man. Cultivated fields, meadows, hay meadows and pasturelands, valley settlements and alps, typical houses and abundant small hayracks, sheds and homesteads make up the cultural landscape of Triglav National Park, the most striking feature of which is its diversity as the typical Bohinj house can be easily recognized and contrasted against a home in the Upper Sava Valley (Zgornjesavska dolina) or the Soča Valley.
We hope that the paths you take in Triglav National Park will leave you with lasting memories and encourage you to come back again, for another story, just as exciting and unique as this one.
Please leave your vehicle in one of the many designated car parks.
Stay on the trails. Keep your noise level down and avoid disturbing the animals.
Respect the habitats of plants and animals. Admire them, but make sure your presence does not disturb their lives, as unique and magical as yours.
Enjoy clear starry nights from a bench outside the mountain huts and lodges, shelters and bivouacs. Camping or bivouacking outside designated areas is not permitted.
Be considerate visitors who take nothing except for memories and data stored on memory sticks, and leave nothing but footprints.
