Triglav is the highest mountain in Slovenia (and formerly all of Yugoslavia) and the Julian Alps. 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 Slavic god Triglav, although this hypothesis remains disputed[1]. Triglav's shape can also be seen in the Slovenian coat of arms and on the flag of Slovenia.
