Goldhorn

In Slovene folklore, Goldhorn or Goldenhorn (Slovene: Zlatorog) is a legendary white chamois buck, or alternatively, an Alpine ibex, that had his realm in the heights of Mount Triglav, the highest mountain in Slovenia and the highest peak of the Julian Alps.

The story about Zlatorog was first written down, adapted to the late Romantic style and published by Karl Deschmann (Karel Dežman) in the Laibacher Zeitung, no.

However, one day, a rich merchant from Venice came by and tried to gain her attention by giving her golden jewelry and dancing with her.

The green hunter forced him on to catch the Goldhorn before it ate the magic Triglav flowers that grew from its blood, but it was too late.

It ran towards the hunter, who being blinded by the bliss of its golden horns, lost balance and fell from the mountain.
