Le Triglav, un géomorphosite emblématique des Alpes slovènes

Abstract

Triglav, the highest mountain in the Slovenian Alps (2864 m), with its three characteristic pyramid-shaped summits, was carved by the high mountain erosion, especially glacial and by karstic processes. It bears also a high symbolic and patrimonial value in Slovenia, so that it is represented on the national flag of the young nation and on Slovenian euro coins. Bearing at the same time a scientific and an emblematic value, it can be regarded as a well-characterized geomorphosite.
