Slovenia has one national park (narodni park) in the protected areas data of its environment agency, ARSO: Triglavski narodni park. The agency says it is the only national park in Slovenia and that it was first protected in 1981; that is not the date of the current law.12
Which national park does ARSO list?
In the agency's protected areas layer, one area is of the type narodni park; the others are regional and landscape parks, reserves and natural monuments.1 The agency's indicator page calls it the only national park in Slovenia, prvič zavarovan že leta 1981
, that is, first protected in 1981.2
| National park (as the data names it) | First protected (year, as ARSO says) |
|---|---|
| Triglavski narodni park | 19812 |
The year is when the area was first protected, as the agency says; the law in force for the park in the data is a later act.1
