Habitats in Triglav National Park

The largest portion of Triglav National Park is covered by forest, which makes up two-thirds of the park's area. Among the dense forests of the park, there are peat bogs. Water carves and shapes the landscape of this predominantly limestone alpine region. Here, you'll find flowing waters and high-altitude lakes. Particularly colorful are the alpine meadows in spring, where chamois and ibex graze.

In areas where the rock is constantly crumbling, there are scree slopes. Scree forms from the accumulation of rock debris that falls from cliffs due to mechanical weathering of the rocks and unstable terrain. And of course, we cannot overlook the high rock walls. The highest ridges rise over 2000 meters above sea level, providing a habitat for unique plants and animals adapted to very extreme conditions.
