IMHO the content of Aljažev stolp should be integrated here as a subsection, as both subjects are quite inseparable. --Romanm 05:14, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Easiest route

The page currently says: "Easiest route: rock/snow/ice climb". Is this really correct?

climbingtriglav.htm says "You too can do the hike to the summit, even if you have no experience in this sort of thing." and makes it clear that the ascent is a hike, not a climb.
triglav.html confirms this, saying "Many marked trails lead to the top" and "Climbing Triglav in winter is quite a serious affair and demands lots of skills and proper climbing gear.", implying that in summer climbing gear is not needed.

Can anyone with personal experience confirm that the easiest route should be listed as 'hike' or similar? --David Edgar 14:11, 14 October 2005 (UTC)


I have climbed Triglav twice, both times in winter. In winter you certainly need ice climbing gear, but in the summer there is a route via the Triglav lakes that can be done over 2-3 days which is really just a hike. There is also some very good climbing from the North side approaching from Mojstrana and the Aljazev Dom. Ben Holden 23.07.07

[edit] Triglav the mountain and Triglav the deity

Should a possible connection to the slavic deity Triglav be mentioned here? It would appear to me that the explanation of the name as meaning something along the lines of "the mountain with three peaks seen from a certain point" could be an example of popular ethymology.

Triglav (mountain) has only 2 "heads" (peaks). Seems probable that "Triglav" refers to that ancient deity not to the literal meaning of the word (triglav meaning 3-headed/3-heads). Should be mentioned here and the Triglav(deity) page. --Neikius 00:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
