Mount Triglav
Triglav
Slovenia's highest peak (2,864 m), pictured on the national coat of arms and a mountain that locals say every Slovene should climb at least once in a lifetime.
Triglav rises to 2,864 m and is the highest peak in Slovenia and the Julian Alps. Its three-peaked silhouette appears on the national flag and coat of arms, and locals say every Slovene should climb it once in their lifetime. Reaching the summit usually takes two days. Start from Rudno polje near Bohinj, the Pokljuka Plateau or the Vrata Valley, and spend the night in a mountain hut such as Kredarica or Planika (book ahead). The final section is a via ferrata with steel cables, so you need a helmet, a harness and climbing experience. If you have no experience, hire a mountain guide. You can also enjoy views of the peak from the Vogel cable car, the Vrata Valley or Little Osojnica without climbing it.
