Triglav National Park

Julian Alps peaks, glacial lakes and gorges in north-western Slovenia

Mount Triglav stands almost in the middle of the park, and valleys spread out from it to feed the Soča and the Sava, which flow to the Adriatic and the Black Sea. The lakes are all of glacial origin, and most of the many waterfalls lie in the Soča valleys.
