The Triglav National Park begins on the northern edge of the triangular border of Slovenia, Italy and Austria in Kranjska Gora. This, the best known and most well equipped ski resort in Slovenia, is growing in popularity each year, including the summer months.

The first mountain massifs of the Julian Alps reflect in the small Lake Jansa which lies just beyond Kranjska Gora en route to the Vrsic Pass. The high rising Slovenian Alps are one of the most little known yet most beautiful alpine regions in Europe, a mysterious, unspoiled landscape and the realm of the zlatorog, a goat with golden horns!

In this natural paradise, Europe’s wildest and most romantic river is born, the Soca, the ‘emerald’ river. Geologically, the landscape of the Upper Soca is relatively young and rugged with deep cut valleys and few flat areas. Its characteristic appearance was formed by the action of a glacier and water erosion formed a valley.

Near Bovec, the Koritnica Valley begins and ascends to Italy’s, Passo Del Predil. A tranquil valley end with wonderful views and a few small villages which are romantic in summer but that can be treacherous in winter.

Each summer an historic steam train travels through the Triglav National Park and both the Baca and Soca Valleys to Nova Gorica, a wonderful journey on a slow train through a green and fertile landscape.

Near Lake Bohinj is the park’s cultural landscape, an experiment that seems to be a success. The tranquil village of Stara Fuzina is situated on the gentle and sun blessed slopes of the Triglav Mountains where both agriculture and nature conservation are closely related and the farms have been preserved in all of their past glory.

The Triglav National Park impresses with its beautiful, contrasting scenery, bare mountains, deep valleys, wild water, blossoming alpine flowers, high mountains as well as breathtaking waterfalls and glacial lakes. Truly a natural paradise in the heart of Europe!
