Its name means \u201cthree-head\u201d and alludes to the striking shape of the summit; some also link it with a three-headed Slavic deity. In the heart of the Julian Alps it rises from the petrified remains of a primeval tropical sea, which over the course of geological history were folded upwards and cut through by glaciers and rivers.<\/p>\n<p>Around the mountain stretches the Triglav National Park, the only one in Slovenia, whose roots reach back to the year 1924 and which is today protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In its forests, karst plateaus and mountain meadows live more than seven thousand species, among them brown bear, wolf and lynx, ibex and chamois, as well as the rare golden eagle. The first documented ascent of the summit was achieved in 1778 by four daring men from the Bohinj valley, an early triumph of mountaineering that is still remembered with pride today. An old legend also tells of the Zlatorog, a chamois-like creature with golden horns, which guards a hidden mountain treasure and whose story belongs to this day to the poetic soul of this wild landscape.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/voegel-der-alpen\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Bird species in the region \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/fernglaeser-tierbeobachtung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Binoculars &amp; spotting scopes \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/vogel-ausruestung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Birding gear \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/naturfotografie\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Nature photography \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/wildtierbeobachtung-alpen\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Watch wildlife \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/wanderschuhe\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hiking boots \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Der Triglav ist mit 2.864 m der h\u00f6chste Berg Sloweniens und das nationale Wahrzeichen, seine drei Gipfel zieren das Staatswappen und die Flagge.
