Ten practical guides for the responsible and safe visit to nature in Triglav National Park (UNESCO)
Nature-friendly behaviour and social media posts matter.
Posts that encourage nature conservation, responsible visits, and respect for the alpine environment support the mission of Triglav National Park.
- Share photos and videos that promote responsible behaviour in nature.
- Before filming, check whether permission is required.
- Help spread awareness of respectful and sustainable visits to the Julian Alps.
Know forest fruits and mushrooms before picking them. The daily limit is 2 kg per person. Picking is allowed only in the third protection regime of Triglav National Park.
Be respectful to livestock grazing on mountain pastures. Farmers work hard to preserve traditional alpine pasture farming. Do not feed livestock or wild animals. Keep a safe distance from animals, especially if you are with a dog. Always close pasture gates behind you and stay on marked hiking trails.
Camping is allowed only at official campsites. Wild camping is not permitted in Triglav National Park. Swimming in mountain lakes is also not allowed.
When planning a one-day or multi-day trip to Triglav National Park, always consider the weather, traffic conditions, parking availability at the starting point, the time available, and your physical abilities. Always prepare alternative plans in case of changing weather, traffic jams, or full car parks. Follow traffic updates at promet.si/en.
Mountain weather can change quickly, even in summer. Summer storms and showers are common in the Julian Alps, so always check the forecast before setting out.
Follow the weather forecast for the Julian Alps at meteo.arso.gov.si/met/en/weather/fproduct/ and regularly check the radar at meteo.arso.gov.si/met/en/.
Park your vehicle in official public parking areas and use public transport whenever possible. Choose Park&Ride options for free or lower-cost parking near train and bus stations. Official parking areas in the Julian Alps are connected to bus routes in all municipalities.
A hiking map is as important as water in your backpack. Choose your route carefully using a hiking map and the Alpine Association of Slovenia apps: maps.pzs.si or outdooractive.com. Ask local tourist information centres about current trail conditions. For multi-day hikes, book accommodation in mountain huts in advance and always wear suitable hiking footwear.
For safe hiking, carry enough water, food, extra clothing, and protection against cold or sudden weather changes. Take all waste back to the valley and dispose of it properly in bins.
If you hike with a dog, choose a safe and suitable trail. In summer, start early in the morning and avoid rocky terrain during the hottest part of the day, as the ground can become dangerously hot. Keep your dog on a leash to protect wildlife and always carry fresh water for your dog, as water from ponds or livestock troughs is not recommended.
