Triglav National Park
Triglav National Park (TNP) is the only national park and the largest protected area in Slovenia. It extends on nearly four per cent of the Slovenian surface along the Italian border and close to the Austrian border in the north-western part of Slovenia, covering an area of almost 840 square kilometres. TNP was established in 1924. The park’s landscape is characterized by glacier-shaped valleys, mountain plateaus and steep mountain ridges above the tree line. It is a typical mixture between unspoiled nature areas and cultural landscapes. Forest covers two thirds of the park’s territory. Among the various renewable energy sources, woodland biomass has the greatest potential for sustainable use.
The TNP is one of the five project pilot areas. In order to strengthen the conservation of Alpine nature, most significant results of previous and running projects (e.g. recharge.green) within the Alpine Space Program will be examined in the TNP, including ecosystem services as the key element of the project. For TNP, the participation within the project also presents an opportunity to contribute actively to a process of creating and adapting conservation policies at regional, national and common EU levels.
