- This article is about mount Triglav in Slovenia. For a Slavic god named Triglav, see Triglav (mythology).
Mount
Triglav is the highest peak in
Slovenia, in the former
Yugoslavia and of the
Julian Alps. Its name, "Three-headed", describes its shape as seen from the
Bohinj valley. This shape can also be seen in the
Slovenian coat of arms and in the
flag of Slovenia.
At the top of the mountain is mounted
Aljažev stolp (the
Aljaž tower) which is a landmark of Slovenian territory and an important symbol of Slovenia.
The mountain was first ascended on
August 26 1778 by Luka Korošec, Matija Kos, Štefan Rožič and Lovrenc Willomitzer on
Sigismund Zois's initiative.
The Triglav area is also the origin of a old Slovenian
legend of a
chamois buck (
steinbock,
ibex, capricorn) named
Zlatorog (»Goldhorn«), that is nowadays used as a brand mark of a Slovenian brewery.
