Stane Klemenc / Triglav, the highest mountain of Slovenia's Julian Alps. For its exceptional beauty, the Slovenes have chosen their highest mountain peak, Triglav (2,864m), as their national symbol. Most of the Slovene land is mountainous. Alpine mountains cover 4/10 of the entire national territory. The Slovene Alps are light in colour, being composed of limestone. At 2,864 m, Triglav is the highest mountain. Below the mountain spreads Triglav National Park, covering 84,805 hectares. 002
