Triglav

Mount Triglav (2.864 m) or 9.397 ft is the highest peak in Slovenia and of the South-Eastern Alps. It lies in the Julian Alps. Its name -- "three-headed" -- describes its shape as seen from the Bohinj valley. This shape can also be seen in the flag of Slovenia.

Aljažev stolp (The Tower of Aljaž) is mounted at the top of the mountain.

The Triglav area is also the origin of a old Slovene legend of a chamois buck (steinbock, ibex, capricorn) named Zlatorog (»goldhorn«), that is nowadays used as a brand mark of a Slovene brewery.

He is the highest god of all said oracles at Szczecin, Poland, were interpreted from the behavior of a black horse. He is veiled completely, so holy that he cannot see the evil deeds of men. He rarely appears around mortals, and is depicted as a three-headed man with bands of blindfolds over his eyes.
