Climbing the long German route on Triglav north face

Mount Triglav (2864 m) is the highest mountain in Slovenia and boasts a gorgeous north wall. This wall has more than 120 climbing routes. Would you like to join me for a 1-day adventure there?

This time we'll take the German route, one of the classic 'iron routes' in the Julian Alps. It's a solid 1000 m rock route with stretches of Grade IV difficulty in the UIAA Grading System.

However, the difficult spots are spread along the route on a balanced proportion. There's also a quite exposed climb on the upper part of the route, with a very scenic landscape.

Our starting point will be Aljažev dom in Vrata Valley. From there, we'll take the Prag Route and hike for almost 2 hours to the foot of Triglav's north face.

The German climbing route offers a few alternatives. We will take the "the long German Route", which consists in taking the North Ridge of Triglav. Following this way extends the route in 300 m and leads you directly to the summit of this symbol of Slovenia.

If you don't have much climbing experience or you prefer to pick an easier route, you can also climb the Slovenian route on the north face of Triglav with me.
