Triglav National Park (
TNP) is the only
national park in
Slovenia. It was established in its modern form in 1981 and is located in the northwestern part of the country, respectively the southeastern part of the
Alpine massif. Mount
Triglav, the highest peak of
Julian Alps, stands almost in the middle of the national park. From it the valleys spread out radially, supplying water to two large
river systems with their sources in the Julian Alps: the
Soca and the
Sava, flowing to the
Adriatic and
Black Sea, respectively.
