Be responsible travellers
Mountain peaks, wild and deep gorges, a wealth of flora, a cultural landscape with mountains and picturesque villages with a rich cultural heritage invite you to visit.
Getting to know the nature, the cultural landscape and the people in the park is a great experience, but we must bear in mind that we are only guests in a fragile environment.
Your journey in the Triglav National Park should be one you will remember with pleasure. Choose a path that suits your abilities.
Leave your vehicle in the marked car parks, of which there are plenty in the park.
If possible, use public transport or a bicycle, or walk the trail.
Use only marked trails. Do not make noise. The animals will thank you.
Mountain biking with respect for nature and other trail users should be a special experience only on roads and trails outside the natural environment that are designated for this purpose.
Keep dogs on a lead.
Drones are a nuisance to animals and other visitors and should be left at home. For a bird’s-eye view, use the many mountain trails leading to beautiful viewpoints. The use of drones is not allowed.
Respect the habitat of plants and animals. Admire them without disturbing their stories, which are as unique as your own.
If you want to swim in the high mountain lakes, think of all the consequences that this would have on the sensitive and fragile habitat of the lakes and their surroundings. To cool down overheated bodies, look for suitable bathing places in the valley. This will go a long way towards preserving these aquatic jewels among the mountains. Bathing is not allowed in high mountain lakes.
Experience clear, star-studded nights on the benches of mountain huts, shelters and bivouacs. Camping and bivouacking outside designated areas is not allowed.
Caravans, motorhomes and other motorised vehicles used for living purposes may be parked at night in designated car parks and campsites with all the necessary facilities to take care of them.
Let us be undisturbed visitors, bringing nothing in and taking nothing out. Nothing that is not stored in ourselves or on a memory card.
