Triglav National Park Slovenia
Triglav National Park
Triglav National Park, named after Slovenia’s highest peak, Mount Triglav, was officially established on May 27, 1924. It was the first national park in Slovenia and one of the earliest in Europe. The park’s creation was driven by a shared vision of protecting its unique natural and cultural treasures for future generations to enjoy and cherish.
On the honourable 100th anniversary of Triglav National Park, we will, on the exact day of its establishment, May 24th, offer a complimentary meal to all hikers and nature lovers who bring back trash from their hike to the hut.
The quantity of trash is not the most important, but we kindly ask that you photograph where the garbage was found and collected. All the trash collected at Erjavčeva koča will be taken down to the valley, and hikers will be offered a complimentary meal.
In this humble way, we will contribute to preserving Triglav National Park for future generations who come after us while also reminding ourselves of the respect owed to the breathtaking nature that continually inspires us and gives us life.

It is almost entirely included in the Natura 2000 ecological network. It forms the transboundary Julian Alps Eco-region with the neighbouring Julian Alps Natural Park. It also receives the European Diploma of the Council of Europe and is a member of international associations, namely the Federation Europarc and the Alpine Protected Areas Network ALPARC. Triglav National Park also collaborates with other protected areas. In addition to the already mentioned Julian Alps Natural Park, Triglav National Park has agreements of cooperation with the Taunus Nature Park from Germany, Snowdonia National Park from Wales in the United Kingdom, High Tatra National Park from Austria, and Écrins National Park from France. Triglav National Park has entered into a twinning agreement with Crater Lake National Park from the United States and Kronotsky Nature Reserve from Russia.
