Description of peak:
Triglav is a 2864 m high mountain located in the heart of the Julian Alps. With its height, Triglav is the highest mountain in Slovenia and the highest mountain in the Julian Alps. The Aljaž Tower, built in 1895 by Jakob Aljaž, the then parish priest of Dovje, stands at the top. The Aljaž Tower can accommodate up to 5 people in the event of a storm. Today, the Aljaž Tower is protected as a cultural monument and as such is very important for the preservation of cultural heritage.
Triglav received its first visit on 26.8.1778, when the four men of heart, whose monument stands in Bohinj, climbed to the top. These men of heart were Luka Korošec, Matevž Kos, Štefan Rožič and Lovrenc Willomitzer.
From the top of Triglav, we have a beautiful view that stretches from the Adriatic Sea, through Dolomites and High Tauern to Karawanks, Kamnik Savinja Alps, Pohorje, across almost the whole of Slovenia to the highest peaks of the Julian Alps.
