TRIGLAV NATIONAN PARK<br />
For the Slovenes, the Triglav<br />
National Park is a supreme example<br />
of natural and cultural<br />
heritage. It is also one of the<br />
oldest national parks in Europe.<br />
Not only that, it is a gallery of<br />
uncommonly beautiful images,<br />
an open-air museum and a refuge<br />
for restless spirits seeking<br />
harmony with themselves in<br />
harmony with nature. The excellence<br />
and professionalism<br />
of the enthusiasts who run the<br />
park conserve for us the originality<br />
of nature and the cultural<br />
landscape and ensure the coexistence<br />
of nature and modern<br />
man. The Triglav National Park<br />
is the pride of the tourist region<br />
of the Julian Alps. It is the<br />
only national park in Slovenia.<br />
The park was conceived in as<br />
long ago as 1906 and originally<br />
centred on the area of the Triglav<br />
lakes. In 1981 the park was en-<br />
Chamois<br />
larged. It now covers practically<br />
the whole of the Julian Alps<br />
in Slovenia and measures 880<br />
square kilometres. The highest<br />
point of the park is the peak<br />
of Mt Triglav (2864 metres),<br />
the highest mountain in Slovenia,<br />
from which the park takes<br />
its name; the lowest point is in<br />
the Tolmin gorges (180 metres).<br />
The unique natural and cultural<br />
heritage of this area of Slovenia<br />
is fully contained within the borders<br />
of the Triglav National Park.<br />
The Triglav National Park Act<br />
is a law governing protection<br />
in three protected areas. In the<br />
first two the priority is nature<br />
protection. The purpose of the<br />
third area, where people live<br />
and work, is to protect the cultural<br />
landscape and promote<br />
sustainable management and<br />
characteristic local activities.<br />
