Itinerary
Paradise of alpine kingdom of Zlatorog
According to an old legend, the hills above Bohinj were once the kingdom of legendary Zlatorog - Goldhorn. The proud ibex carried in golden horns the key to the treasure hidden in Mount Bogatin. A greedy hunter, who wanted the treasure, wounded the beautiful animal. She was healed by the miraculous Triglav mountain flower and she fled into the wilderness. For a long time no one saw her again and the treasure remains forever hidden. If you follow the Goldenhorn trails, you will find out what the real treasure of the mountains is!
