The most scenic tour to Triglav<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"

It\u2019s been 124 years since Jakob Alja\u017e, a great patriot and a priest, paid one Austro-Hungarian gulden for the top of Slovenia\u2019s highest mountain. The amount of money one could have bought 50 eggs or 10 liters of milk for. His idea was to oppose the prevalent Germanization of the Slovenian people and the mountains in the Austro-Hungarian Empire back then.<\/p>\n

Once the top of Slovenia was again Slovenian, he had a 2×1.25 m symbolic tower erected at the top of Triglav on 7 August 1895. In the following years he also mined an almost impassable 30-cm ridge between the peaks of Triglav and Mali Triglav into the nicely wide ridge we know today; besides, he also built the mountain hut Kredarica at 2,515 m and the Alja\u017e Hut in the Vrata Valley below Triglav. His far-reaching idea was to stimulate more Slovenians to visit the mountains, conquer the very top of Slovenia – the symbol of the Slovenian nation, make new legendary routes, and thus make the mountains Slovenian again.<\/p>\n

And right here among the same jagged peaks and sheer pastel walls of this ancient range of the Alps where many heroic tales tell the history of Slovenia and its alpinism, while they also serve as the playground for many top-notch alpine climbers nowadays, a network of gorgeous trails and climbing routes open the door to the mysterious world of the Julian Alps.<\/p>\n

To first-time hikers, fresh onlookers, the impression is often theatrical: isolation awash with expansive panoramas, vertical walls, and endless routes. The further up you go, the bigger and less tamable it seems. Yet, with experience and mileage the labyrinth of incredibly scenic trails starts to reveal gorgeous interwoven passages; from one Alpine valley to another, from one beautiful meadow to another, and from one peak to another.<\/p>\n
