With its pristine landscapes and breathtaking vistas, this park is a testament to Slovenia's commitment to preserving its natural heritage. As we mark the park's 100th anniversary, it's worth reflecting on its significance and the journey that led to its establishment.

Named after Slovenia's highest peak, Mount Triglav (2864 m), the Triglav National Park spans over 840 square kilometres, encompassing four percent of Slovenia's surface area. It is situated in the north-western part of the country, bordering Italy and Austria, and is a sanctuary for diverse flora and fauna.

Established in 1924 as the Alpine Conservation Park, the Triglav National Park is one of Europe's oldest protected areas. Its creation was a response to the growing threats posed by industrialization and human encroachment on natural habitats. Since then, it has served as a haven for endemic species such as the wolf, bear, and lynx, as well as a rich variety of plant life, including 19 endemic species.
