About Mount Triglav
At 2,864 metres, Triglav is Slovenia’s highest mountain and the heart of the country’s only national park. On its summit stands the Aljaž Tower, a cylindrical metal shelter put up in 1895 by Jakob Aljaž, the priest of Dovje, who had bought the top of the mountain from his municipality for a single forint. A monument recalls the first ascent, made by four local men on 25 August 1778. Climbers usually take two days, sleeping in mountain huts; unless you are experienced, go with a licensed mountain guide and watch the weather closely.
