Geography
The peak is located in the very center of the park. Triglav is a watershed between the basins of the Adriatic and the Black Sea ; streams flowing from its western and northern slopes belong to the Sochi basin, and the eastern and southern slopes belong to the Sava basin.
In addition to the summit, the Triglav Lakes Valley is considered the most remarkable place in the park.
History
The first proposals for measures aimed at preserving the Triglav biosphere were put forward in 1908. . In 1924, a conservation area of 14 km² was formed around Triglav Lakes.
In 1961, the zone was expanded to 20 km² and was renamed the Triglav National Park, however, it did not correspond to the status of the national park due to the small territory and weak measures to protect the nature of the park.
Only in 1981 was the complete reorganization of the park carried out, which expanded almost 40 times to 838 km² and finally began to fully comply with its status.
