Visit Triglav National Park in Slovenia

Come and meet Slovenia, one of my favorite countries! Not a big state, but most certainly a wonderful one. In fact it’s one of those places you instantly fall in love with and you simply can’t help it! And wait until you see and visit Triglav National Park (Triglavski Narodni Park) with all its highlights!

Triglavski Narodni Park is Slovenia’s one and only National Park and it got its name after the highest peak, Triglav 2865 m. One of the oldest national parks in Europe, officially declared in 1924, the 900 square km park opens the Eastern range of the Julien Alps and defines the very beginning of the wonderful and well known dolomites. The landscapes is oscillating between mild and fresh grasslands and sharp dolomite structure mountains. A mighty view for tourists fond of nature.

Best road to Triglav National Park

The Triglav National Park is situated in the North-West of Slovenia near the Border with Italy.

As Slovenia has excellent roads and all the country is very well organized in what regards tourist information, I can tell you that you won’t have any issues. Most of the people start the Slovenian adventure from Bled – lake and city.
