9 Essential Things To Know Before Visiting the Beautiful Triglav National Park

Slovenia, , 78 Comments

Last Updated on the 3rd of December, 2025

If you’re wondering where to go on your next hiking adventure, let us introduce you to Triglav National Park in Slovenia, where each path reveals its own majesty and where subtle, light-kissed mountain tops rise above beautiful valleys dotted with wildflowers.

After hiking adventures in the Dolomites followed by a trip to Banff National Park, I knew we wouldn’t be able to stay away from snow-capped peaks for too long because spending time in the mountains isn’t optional; it’s vital for my mental health.

While I was looking forward to seeing Lake Bled and its surrounding scenery, poring over the maps and planning my hiking adventures in the park was the most exciting part.

I had a memorable time navigating my way through the unfamiliar terrain of Triglav National Park – it provided me with a warm sense of familiarity even though it was my first time roaming around the park.

Before You Go

Before visiting Triglav National Park, be aware that it’s a mountainous area with unpredictable weather, even in summer.

It’s crucial to have appropriate hiking gear like sturdy boots, layers of warm clothing, and a windbreaker, as conditions can change rapidly.

While the park is free to enter, some attractions like Vintgar Gorge and Mostnica Gorge require a small fee.

Wild camping is prohibited; camping is only permitted in designated campsites. 

#1. Quick Introduction to the Triglav National Park

Triglav National Park is Slovenia’s only national park.

It is located in the northwestern part of the country, encompassing most of the eastern Julian Alps.

The park covers approximately 840 square kilometres, representing about 4% of Slovenia’s total land mass.

The park features diverse landscapes, including crystal-clear rivers, alpine lakes, and hidden gorges. At the heart of it stands Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest peak, rising to 2,222 m.

It is home to exceptional flora and fauna, including rare and protected plants and animals such as wolves, ibex and bears.

In this blog post, we outline 10 essential things you need to know if you plan on visiting and hiking through the Triglav National Park.

#2. Getting there and around

Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, is an excellent starting point for your journey to Triglav National Park, located about 50-80 miles (80-128 km) away.

  • By Car: The fastest and most convenient option, taking approximately 1 hour to Kranjska Gora (northern entrance) or 2 hours to Bovec (southwestern entrance). Follow highway E61 northward, which passes by Lake Bled.
  • By Bus: Regular buses depart from Ljubljana to Kranjska Gora (2 hours) and Bohinj (2 hours), with fares ranging from €6 to € 18. Buses to Bovec are more limited, with only two daily departures on weekdays and one on weekends, taking about 4 hours.
  • By Train: Take a train from Ljubljana to the Lesce-Bled railway station, then connect with a local bus to the park.

#3. A car is a great way to get around the park, but not essential

Triglav National Park is a pretty amazing place to explore on four wheels – what can be better than whizzing past towering peaks, gawking at impossibly beautiful vistas and stopping every time you spot a stunning composition.

Hiring a car is a fantastic way to efficiently cover the distances between tourist attractions and beautiful towns, and also a great way to reach more rural spots that public transport doesn’t cover.

However, if you plan on relying solely on public transport, you won’t be left behind. Buses are comfortable, and there’s heating in winter and air conditioning in summer, but you have to plan ahead.

 Slovenian public transport that operates between towns and cities is very cheap and reliable, yet it can be a time-consuming way to get around.

During the summer season, plenty of buses can take you from Ljubljana to nearby villages and tourist attractions such as Ribčev Laz and Lake Bohinj.

From Bohinj, you can use the ”Hop-on-hop-off’ bus, which costs EUR 5 for an adult and runs from 28 June to 31 August.

If you wish to rent a car, then shop around for your rental before you make a decision. There are a few things to know before you jump behind the wheel:

  • You must be 21 years of age to rent a car
  • Driving in Slovenia is on the right sideSnow chains are required during the winter months
  • Seatbelts are mandatory
  • Border crossing may require documentation such as your passport or a Cross-Boarder Pass

#4. Escape the summer crowds and visit during the shoulder season

The best time to visit Triglav National Park is between June and September, as this is when most of the huts are open for booking, the snow has melted, and nature is in full bloom.

But it is also the busiest time of the year, and if you are setting sights on slightly fewer crowds, you have to weigh out your options.

Triglav National Park is an all-year park, but knowing when to visit, especially if you prefer to avoid tourist crowds, can make or break your trip.

Early autumn and late spring are the best times to visit – it’s when the temperatures are most comfortable. Try to plan around the time when kids go back to school or just before they are done with it.

September is one of the perfect months to spend exploring the Triglav National Park – there’s still plenty of daylight to tackle long-distance trails, and the weather is warm. Being surrounded by magnificent mountain views adorned with autumn colours and everything it has to offer is a sight to behold.

It’s also possible to visit the park in the winter, but to hit the trails, you ought to be an experienced mountaineer, as snowstorms and ice are common.

#5. It’s an excellent value option

If you’re looking for an excellent value alternative to the Swiss and French Alps, then Triglav National Park is your best bet. 

Affordable public transport, cosy dorm/hotel beds, tasty meals for under 10 euros – plenty to love about this part of Europe and its low price tag.

  • Food | You can expect to pay 8 euros for a vegetarian meal and 14 euros for a pizza and a glass of wine in one of the restaurants in Bled. Expect to pay EUR 10 for lunch and dessert in a mountain hut. Self-catering and groceries are very cheap.
  • Accommodation | Plenty of affordable accommodation can be booked in guest houses, campsites, hotels, and hostels at park entrances. If you plan on staying high up on a mountain, there’s a wealth of options to choose from too – alpine huts, cottages and chalets. Expect to pay up to EUR 20 for a dorm bed, EUR 50 for a double hotel room and up to EUR 30 for a comfy mountain hut bed.
  • Activities | The entrance to the park is free; however, you have to pay to visit Vintgar Gorge and Savica Waterfall. Various activities such as ziplining, river rafting, tandem paragliding and guided tours are available for visitors, with prices starting from as little as EUR 35.

#6. There’s so much more than social media would have you believe

There’s so much more to see and experience at Triglav National Park than social media would have you believe.

And there’s so much to be fully aware of that even the best equipment can’t capture – listening to the early mornings became alive with bird songs, feeling the rugged façade of the mountain against your fingertips, letting the wind tangle your hair and sensing the distinctive nature’s aromas.

Visit the park at any time of the year, and you’ll encounter extraordinary beauty. In springtime, you’ll find wildflowers such as crocuses complementing the landscape, and in autumn, foliage decorates the trees.

No matter how many times you have seen pictures of Lake Bohinj or Savica Waterfall, being there in person and seeing the changing light completely transform the landscape right before your eyes is invaluable.

We can look at the same view and, depending on our circumstances, viewpoint and time of day, see something different.

#6. It’s a hiker’s paradise

Nothing tops an authentic experience of a hike that goes on for hours, often filled with excitement and an equal dose of uncertainty.

The most common route that takes somewhere between 6-10 hours to complete, perhaps, is the beautifully remote mountain valley known as the Valley of the Seven  Lakes. This captivating hike of the Julian Alps – located between Bohinj and Trenta and characterised by several little lakes – is 8 km long and not technically difficult.

Another place worth exploring is the Bohinj Plateau, where you’ll find larch and pine trees, shepherd’s huts, plenty of livestock such as cows and sheep and plenty of hiking adventures.

In Triglav National Park, hiking routes are well secured with bolted-down steel cables, and there are plenty of other beautiful trails you can choose from:

  • The Soča Trail
  • The Pokljuka Trail
  • The Radovna Cycle Route
  • The Mostnica gorge
  • The Triglavska Bistrica Trail in the Vrata Valley
  • The Tolminka Troughs

#7. Summit isn’t always the prize

Many arrive at the park, tempted to reach the summit of Slovenia’s highest peak, and I have to admit that Mount Triglav was the first challenge that emerged in my head once I knew I’d be travelling to Slovenia.

No matter how many summits you have reached before, bagging a new one, especially the highest point in the range,  and taking in the views after you endlessly scrambled over the rock edge, is a truly wonderful feeling.

I spend many hours examining the maps, various routes and admiring Triglav’s craggy spine. I weighed out options between attacking its peak solo and sharing a route with a guide.

On the one hand, relying solely on yourself to reach the summit or desired peak of a mountain, all while observing the weather, studying topography, estimating difficulties and overcoming unforeseen obstacles, is a deeply satisfying challenge.

A challenge that demands both physical and mental ability to climb skilfully through a sudden storm or find a way across difficult terrain.

On the other hand, climbing with a professional mountain guide who can tell you more about the history of the mountains and about the area, as well as providing a few encouraging words, is one of the best ways to explore new grounds.

And from our personal experience, it’s always extra special to share those last few meters with someone.

I don’t claim to have immunity to summit fever yet on this trip, but with Triglav Peak beckoning under spills of autumn sunshine, I learned to appreciate the beauty of simply being outdoors.

#8. Less is more

The fear of missing out can ruin the soul-satisfying journey you were looking forward to, and that’s why it is essential to find the balance and have time to thoroughly enjoy your surroundings.

Everyone moves at their own pace, and you shouldn’t feel inadequate because you have seen a lesser amount of attractions while road-tripping and travelling through a certain country or place.

Don’t try to cram too much into your Triglav itinerary – give yourself enough time between A and B. It often pays to not be in a rush, and by doing so, you get to energetically connect to the new place.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again – it’s always the little things that turn out to be the most memorable. Enjoy seeing beautiful nature in sweeping vistas, yet learn to appreciate the little details too.

#9. Bring your best gear

Do you strive to integrate outdoors into your travel routine, and are you travelling to Triglav National Park to discover new trails and bag challenging summits?

Whether your heart is set on day hikes or hut-to-hut hikes, be a clever hiker and bring your best gear.

  • Weather-appropriate clothing | Quick-drying pants or shorts, wool and synthetic blended socks, moisture-wicking T-shirt, long-sleeve shirt and lightweight fleece or/rain jacket to keep you dry.
  • Hiking boots or shoes | Bring good quality footwear and make sure you break them in to avoid blisters. Look out for waterproof, breathable and supportive hiking boots that allow you to navigate through dry and wet trails
  • Navigation tools | For a trip into the backcountry, a map and compass are two essential navigation tools to keep you from getting lost. Learn how to use both and keep your maps in a waterproof and clear map sack.
  • Right size backpack | For a day hike, bring anything between 16 to 24 L, and for a multi-day hiking trip, look for a bag that’s somewhere between 50-70 litres. If you are not sure, then lay out all the gear you plan on packing and then decide on a size.
  • Medical kit |First aid supplies, sun protection, SPF lip balm, bug spray.
  • Nutrition | Plenty of healthy snacks such as trail mix and bars.
  • Fluids | Bring plenty of water and stay hydrated while exploring the park.

  1. It looks and sounds fabulous, Aiva. Coincidentally Phil and Michaela, the Hungry Travellers, are in Slovenia now and have said it is absolutely enchanting. I always have wanted to see Lake Bled and Bohinj, but hadn’t considered further. I doubt my husband would want to drive but I’d love to be there next Spring xx

    1. While Triglav National Park is a popular destination for hikers within Slovenia and the region, it is less recognised globally and therefore offers a relatively crowd-free experience for those seeking natural beauty and adventure in Europe.  As the park is located just an hour’s drive away from the country’s capital Ljubljana, it is very easy to incorporate it it any Slovenia travel itinerary. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

    1. Thank you kindly, dear Nilla. I have to agree with you, the park is stunning, and you would be in awe of its spectacular alpine scenery, which is not yet as widely known as that of the Swiss Alps or the Dolomites. It also offers a more tranquil and unspoiled experience compared to more famous counterparts, which is always welcome, given how overcrowded some places in Europe can be.

I love that these protected areas allow you to observe animals in their natural habitats and witness their natural behaviours, be it a herd of elk grazing, a bird of prey soaring, or a bear foraging for food, though I didn’t get to see any of them on my trip. Hopefully next time. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

I find that the combination of fresh air, natural beauty, and physical activity helps to increases feel-good neurotransmitters, and provides a mental break from daily stressors.  Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

  34. I had never heard of this national park but it sounds and look like a wonderful place to hike and be around nature! I have never been to Slovenia but it is high on my list for the variety of amazing things it has to offer, and this just proves it again! Thanks for sharing!

    1. Triglav National Park is a lovely place to visit and explore, dear Juliette, epecially as many of its attractions such as lakes and waterfalls are easily accessible and doesn’t require much hiking. I really enjoyed my time there and can highly recommend it. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx
