IN ZLATOROG'S KINGDOM

The Triglav National Park is an area of outstanding beauty containing rivers, lakes, waterfalls and the spectacular Julian Alps. This trek leads us into the very heart of the mountains while trekking along one of the most beautiful trails in the Alps.


This is the kingdom of Zlatorog, the mysterious white Chamois who used to rule the Julian Alps. Guarding his treasure Zlatorog lived in the national park and protected it's beauty. However greed caused a hunter to track and shoot the chamois. Zlatorgog's magic powers helped him kill the hunter before he disappeared from his mountain paradise forever, but left his treasures for all to enjoy forever.

Slovenia's highest mountain - Triglav dominates the park where steep northern slopes reign over deep lush valleys. This trail gives us an insight into a herdmen's way of life with traditional dishes to try. Trekking through the beautiful valley of the lakes we make our way to Bogatin where battles took place during World War I, the area of Hemingway's 'Farewell to Arms'.
