Triglav
Triglav (2864 m) je najvisji vrh
Julijskih Alp in najvisji vrh Slovenije. Ime tri - glav se
nanaša na obliko gore, kot se jo vidi iz Bohinja.
Triglav velja za simbol
slovenstva, nahaja se tudi na slovenskem grbu in zastavi.
Prvi, ki je Triglav opazil kot simbol slovenstva, je bil Jakob
Aljaz. Prvic je prišel v Vrata leta 1883. Leta 1889 je
prisel na Dovje za duhovnika in v tem casu se je tudi povzpel na
Triglav, ter se odlocil, da bo ta vrh za vedno ostal slovenski. Za
nekaj goldinarjev je vrh Triglava odkupil od dovske obcine in se
odlocil, da bo na njem postavil majhen kovinski stolp, ki so ga
odprli 7. avgusta 1895. Stolp in njegovo postavitev je sicer v
celoti financiral sam Aljaz, kasneje pa ga je podaril Slovenskemu
planinskemu društvu.
Ker se cache nahaja na
samem vrhu Triglava, opozarjam vse, da se je za ta podvig na
najvisji vrh Slovenije, potrebno tudi primerno pripraviti: poleg
dober fizicne kondicije je potrebno predhodno preveriti
vremensko napoved (nevihte so poleti zelo pogoste, možnost
udara strele), imeti primerno pohodnisko opremo (cevlji, anorak,
nahrbtnik), predvsem pa si je potrebno vzeti dovolj casa za
obcudovanje prekrasne narave (zato priporocam 2 - 3 dnevni izlet
cez Dolino Triglavskih jezer, kjer lahko najdete tudi drugi skriti
cache v Triglavskem narodnem parku).

Mt.
Triglav
Triglav is in the Julian Alps and is the highest
mountain in Slovenia at 2864 m (9390 ft). It stands majestically in
the centre of the National Park named after it. The name Triglav
has its root in pre-history and probably described a god. In modern
Slovenian the word also means three heads. This describes the
mountain well because from afar it looks as though it has three
peaks. The mountain is the Slovenian National Symbol and appears on
the country’s flag.
The first recorded climb to the summit took
place in August 26th. 1778. It is now said that you are not a
complete Slovenian until you have climbed Triglav. It is not easy
but can be done by most persons who are reasonably fit and have a
good head for heights and are properly equipped.
The best season to climb it is from
beginning of July (or when the snow melts) till
the middle of October (or before the snow comes) but the best
months are August and September. Most people allow
two days for the trip, one
day up and one down.
Essential
equipment:
Never under estimate the extremes of
mountain weather. Check the weather forecast
before you go and plan and equip accordingly. Up to date
weather forecasts can be obtained at tourist offices, our office
and in most hotels. Weather website (Kredarica, 2514 m/ 7654 ft):

- Backpack / rucksack: 45 - 60 litres. It
is better for the rucksack to stay half empty than to be too small
and you have to leave items out or cut down on the water carried.
An integral water bladder is useful. Water is at a premium on the
mountain. It has to be carried up by mule or helicopter and is
therefore very expensive.
- Hat and gloves: rain can
become snow even in July and September.
- Boots: they should fit and should support your
ankles. Vibram soles or similar – wet limestone is
treacherous stuff and there are some scree slopes to be crossed.
Even better they should be waterproof. Trainers and sandals
are definitely not recommended.
- Waterproof clothing: take a jacket and over
trousers – GoreTex or similar. Expect temperatures from -5C
to +25C)
- Underwear: two sets, at least. one on one
spare: - cotton ok, quick dry better.
- Socks: cotton o.k., special
socks for boots with anti sweat - blister -... systems better. Take
extra pairs and carry some blister plasters if your first aid
kit.
- T-shirts: quick dry non-cotton are best
- Warm clothes: pack a warm sweater or fleece
– the temperature drops steeply and quickly once the sun goes
down. Pack a pair of long trousers or if you wear shorts take the
type that has zip on legs.
- Sun cream and
sunglasses: take both. A high factor cream is a must.
The skin burns much quicker at higher altitude and the cool air can
disguise the degree of damage until it is too late. The glare from
sun on white limestone can be intense. A good pair of sunglasses
with UHV helps a lot.
- Cash: you will need this for your overnight
accommodation at the huts. This costs between 10,00 – 20,00
EUR. A hot meal costs around cca. 4,00 - 8,00 EUR. Alcoholic and
non-alcoholic drinks including water can be bought at the huts.
Take approx. 60 EUR per person, since there is no ATM/cash machines
up there. J
En
route:
There are various ways to approach the summit
ridge. The South and East side approaches are easier. The most
difficult is the North Wall (3000 ft of III - VII grade
climbs; though there are paths on the face which do not need
climbing gear – not recommended without a guide). There is
also a path that comes up from the Dolic Valley – this does
not require climbing gear but is more difficult than the Southern
and Eastern routes.
1. The easiest and probably most scienic
way – 2 days (cca 18 hrs):
Bled - Rudno polje na Pokljuki - Vodnikova koca na Velem polju -
Triglavski dom na Kredarici - Triglav - Dom Planika pod Triglavom
– Triglavska Jezera Hut – Seven lakes valley –
Koca pri Triglavskih jezerih – Komna or Koca na planini pri
Jezeru – Prsivec – Vogar – Stara Fuzina in Bohinj

How to behave in the mountains – some do
and don’ts which will make life easier for everyone.
You are in a Triglav national park –
PLEASE do not litter, do not make a noise, do not scare the
animals, do not pick flowers, (photograph them – they last
much longer that way, do not swim or wash your things in the
mountain lakes. Do not light fires or through away lighted
cigarettes. Close gates after you. Take care on ridges and scree
