Triglav Nacionalni Park Travel Guide

 mtncorg Says:  This is a large monument along the road side as the road to Predil Pass passes directly through the old Austrian fort built to defend against Napoleonic French armies. Most of the defenders were killed including their commander Captain Johann Hermann von Hermansdorf as the... 

 mtncorg Says:  North from Bovec, the Predil Pass gives one direct access to the Italian city of Tarvisio and southern Austria beyond. Many use this pass to get into the upper Sava valley around Kranjska Gora from the south as well, rather than the more intense Vrsic Pass. There is only one... 

 mtncorg Says:  See my WWI walks travellogue for more on this and Krn peak. Suffice it to say that the battlefields are still present high up atop this 2164 meter tall peak. The rusted remants of armies past, tunnels, bunkers and trenches. You can easily fit this peak into an itinerary with... 

 mtncorg Says:  Already described in my Slovenia pages and in the travellogue about wandering through the old WWI battlefields high above Kobarid. This peak is on the SW boundary of the park. Seen from the west along the Soca Valley near Kobarid, the peak is very dramatic, towering high... 

 mtncorg Says:  Tourist brochures like to describe this alpine valley and that one as the "Yosemite valley of Europe" - Lauterbrunnen comes to my mind. But the imposing mountain walls on either side of the Krma bring Yosemite thoughts dancing in my mind. The path up the valley is long, but... 

 mtncorg Says:  This is another "Yosemite of Europe". A deep glacial valley with both of Slovenia's highest peaks on its flanks. You drive past the little grocery store in Mojstrana, SW, up the valley. Stop at the Pericnik waterfalls on the way. The mountain walls get higher and higer as... 

 mtncorg Says:  Others have described the climb. I have two travelogues concerning a walk I did up to nearly the top on my Slovenia pages. See jmarkoos pages for some very good information on the climb. Most people will do it in a couple of days, though it can be done in a day, with good... 

 Redang Says:  Lake Bohinj is 4.2 km long and 1 km at its maximum width, and it is a glacial lake. The largest of the streams that flow into the lake, the Savica River ("little Sava").- Another link: www.bohinj.si- Fax: (+386) (0)4 572 33 30 

 Glorija Says:  The Triglav Lakes Valley (Slovene: Dolina Triglavskih jezer) is a rocky hanging valley in the Julian Alps in Slovenia, below the sheer sides of mountains Ticarica and Zelnarica to the southwest of Triglav. It is above the tree-line and is geologically Alpine Karst -... 

 Glorija Says:  In Julian Alps water is cold but it is clean also. And many times during the hike you have the opportunity to drink from the creek. So do not get panic if you run out of water. There is always a chance you find it in nature. 

 Glorija Says:  Sometimes you need little to feel nice. So if you have one day or few days do the hiking in Julian Alps. Slovenia has very nice scenery and I am sure if you hike in good weather condition you have surley a great time. We were hiking in may where there were only few people... 

 FRONA Says:  MYTHTriglav ('three headed') is a complex god or gods in Slavic mythology, similar in nature to Trinity in Christianity. Often Triglav is the same deity as Troyan.Triglav is a unity of three gods. The exact members of the trinity vary by place and time. Earlier Triglav... 

 Redang Says:  The Slap Savica/Savica Waterfall is 51 m. high.How to get there:Once you reach Bohijn Lake from Bled, drive leaving it on your right for about 4 kms. and you will reach a parking area (you have to pay to leave the car; 3,00 € in August '09).Once there, be ready to walk up... 

 Glorija Says:  When going to hike in Triglav National Park you will be suprised how well the paths are marked. So you just need to follow them and it is almost impossible to get lost. The trails themselves are often marked with the white/red colours as on the picture. But always - be...
