Luckily there's a way to the top for nearly any skill level, from climbers and hikers to mixed mountaineers, and the rewards – unparalleled views of the Julian Alps and a 360-degree panorama of the incredible park below – are worth the effort.įor a challenging route, start in the Vrata Valley. Climbers of all skill levels can summit Mt TriglavĪccording to lore, one isn’t a true Slovene until they’ve summited the 2864m (9396ft) Mt Triglav ( triglav means three heads). It is not hyperbole to say that you haven’t been to Slovenia until you’ve spent significant time in TNP. There are, of course, other protected areas, including three regional and 34 landscape parks, but this green-minded Central European nation is not a place that hands out top-billing classifications easily. Filling Slovenia’s Julian Alps–stuffed northwest corner, Triglav National Park (TNP) is more than just the country’s largest swatch of protected land – it's the mythical heart of a nation regularly called the world’s most sustainable destination.Īnchored by Mt Triglav, the country's tallest peak, the 840-sq-km (324-sq-mile) park is loaded with history, crisscrossed by rivers and streams, freckled with high-mountain lakes and connected by hiking and cycling routes.Īnd while it’s true TNP is Slovenia’s only national park, much of the country feels like a preserved zone anyway – more than 60% of its surface is forested, the third-highest percentage in Europe.
