Bohinj and Constructions of Common Interest in Triglav National Park
Abstrakti
Established in 1924, Triglav National Park (TNP) is one of the oldest parks in Europe. It lies along Slovenia’s northeastern border with Italy and Austria and is named after Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest peak, which is also the park’s symbolic center. The park encompasses a significant portion of the Julian Alps, a mountain range that consists primarily of limestone, which has resulted in the formation of very rare high-elevation karst formations. The park is also an area of rich biodiversity, with a significant number of endemic plant and animal species. In addition, the park is home to approximately 2,500 people living in nine different municipalities. The majority of them live in the municipality of Bohinj, which includes the central region of the park with Mount Triglav and Lake Bohinj, two of the premier natural and tourist attractions of the park.
