Triglav

Triglav, with a height of 2,863.65 meters (9,395.2 feet), is Slovenia's tallest mountain and the Julian Alps' highest peak. The mountain is the most recognizable emblem of the Slovene people. It is the centerpiece of Slovenia's sole national park, Triglav National Park. Prior to Slovenia's independence in 1991, Triglav was also the highest mountain in Yugoslavia.

Mount Triglav, nestled in the heart of the Julian Alps, is without a doubt Slovenia's most cherished mountain.

It is not just the highest point in the country, but it is also a potent national emblem. It's such a symbol of Slovenian identity that it's stated that every "genuine" Slovenian should stand atop Mount Triglav at least once in their lives.

Triglav is easily accessible from Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana. It takes less than two hours to go to Triglav National Park, the country's national park and home to the renowned mountain.
