## Overview
Triglav is Slovenia's only national park, covering the eastern Julian Alps. Strict sky-quality regulation and remote alpine valleys give surprisingly dark skies just 90 minutes from Ljubljana.

## What to see
Summer Milky Way core over alpine peaks, Andromeda in autumn, meteor showers.

## Highlights
- Bortle 3 within 90 min of Ljubljana
- Bohinj lake gives a very low southern horizon
- Alpine sky-quality regulations in force park-wide

## Tips
- Arrive at dusk and give your eyes 20+ minutes to dark-adapt
- Use a red headlamp — white light kills night vision
- Bring warm layers; European mountain and coastal sites drop sharply after sunset
