Triglav National Park's Crown Jewels

Slovenia’s only national park encompasses the heart of the Julian Alps, centered around the 2,864-meter Mount Triglav. The landscape features the 1.6-kilometer Vintgar Gorge, the 78-meter Savica Waterfall, and the glacial waters of Lake Bohinj. High-altitude highlights include the Vršič Pass, the highest road mountain pass in the country, and the Triglav Lakes Valley, a high-karst alpine valley. The area also hosts the Planica Nordic Centre, a major site for international ski jumping competitions.
