While its name, meaning "three-headed", can describe its shape as seen from the valley of [[Bohinj]], the mountain may have been named after the [[Triglav (mythology)|Slavic god Triglav]], although this hypothesis remains disputed. Triglav's shape can also be seen in the [[Coat of arms of Slovenia|Slovenian coat of arms]], on the [[flag of Slovenia]] and on the Slovenian [[Slovenian euro coins|50 Eurocent coin]]. [[Image:Triglav_Aljazev_stolp.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The [[Aljažev stolp]]]] At the top of the mountain stands the [[Aljažev stolp]] (Aljaž's Tower) which is a Slovenian landmark and an important symbol of the country. The mountain was first ascended on [[August 26]] [[1778]], by Luka Korošec, Matija Kos, Štefan Rožič and Lovrenc Willomitzer on [[Sigismund Zois]]'s initiative. The Triglav area is also the origin of an old Slovenian [[legend]] of a [[chamois]] buck ([[steinbock]], [[ibex]]) named [[Zlatorog]] ("Goldhorn"), which is used as a brand mark of [[Laško Brewery]]. A lengthy [[symphonic poem]] by the composer [[Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov]], adapted from the third act of his opera ''[[Mlada (Rimsky-Korsakov)|Mlada]]'', bears the title “Night on Mount Triglav”, though the action is actually situated among the [[Polabian Slavs]] near the Elbe river, in today's Germany. == See also == * [[Mountains of Slovenia]] * [[Triglav National Park]] * [[Triglav Lakes Valley]] ==External links== {{Commons}} * [http://www.hribi.net/gora.asp?lng=1&gorovjeid=1&id=1 Triglav on Hribi.net] * [http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/150787/triglav.html Triglav on SummitPost] * [http://www.hribi.net/panorama.asp?lng=1&goraid=1 360° Panoramic View from Triglav] * Computer generated summit panoramas [http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/panoramas/EUR/Triglav-N.gif North] [http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/panoramas/EUR/Triglav-S.gif South] [http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/panoramas.html Index] [[Category:Mountains of Slovenia]] [[Category:Mountains of the Julian Alps]] [[bg:Триглав_(Словения)]] [[bs:Triglav]] [[cs:Triglav]] [[cy:Triglav]] [[de:Triglav]] [[et:Triglav]] [[es:Triglav]] [[eo:Triglav]] [[fr:Triglav]] [[hr:Triglav (vrh)]] [[hu:Triglav]] [[it:Monte Tricorno]] [[ja:トリグラウ]] [[mk:Триглав]] [[nl:Triglav]] [[pl:Triglav]] [[pt:Monte Triglav]] [[ru:Триглав (гора)]] [[sl:Triglav]] [[fi:Triglav]] [[sv:Triglav]]
