Zlatorog and his golden horns (475 words)
The oft-told tale of Zlatorog, the mythical chamois with the golden horns who lived on Mt Triglav and guarded its treasure, almost always involves some superhuman (or, in this case, super-antelopine) feat that drastically changed the face of the mountain.
The Zlatorog story first appeared in the LaibacherZeitung (Ljubijana Gazette) in 1868 during a period of Romanticism and national awakening.
Zlatorog roamed the valley (at that time a beautiful garden) with the White Ladies, good fairies who kept the mountain pastures green and helped humans whenever they found them in need.
