| | Triglav Summary |
 | | TRIGLAV, a three-headed deity of the heathen Slavs, was literally named: from tri,"three," and glava, "head." Worship of him in the temple at Szczecin (Stettin), Pomerania, is attested by Herbord, Ebbo, and Monachus Prieflingensis, the three biographers of Otto, a twelfth-century bishop of Bamberg. |
 | | Triglav is the highest peak in Slovenia and the Julian Alps. |
 | | The Triglav area is also the origin of an old Slovenian legend of a chamois buck (steinbock, ibex, capricorn) named Zlatorog ("Goldhorn"), which is used as a brand mark of a Slovenian brewery. |
