Description of peak:
Triglav is a 2,864 m high mountain located in the heart of the Julian Alps. It is the highest mountain in Slovenia and also the highest peak in the Julian Alps. At the summit stands the Aljaž Tower, erected in 1895 by Jakob Aljaž, then the parish priest of Dovje. The tower can shelter up to 5 people during a storm. Today, the Aljaž Tower is protected as a cultural monument and is very important for preserving cultural heritage.
The first ascent of Triglav took place on 26 August 1778, when four brave men reached the summit; their monument stands in Bohinj. These men were Luka Korošec, Matevž Kos, Štefan Rožič and Lovrenc Willomitzer.
From the summit of Triglav, a beautiful view opens up, extending from the Adriatic Sea across the Dolomites and the Hohe Tauern to the Karawanks, the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Pohorje, and over almost the whole of Slovenia to the highest peaks of the Julian Alps.
