On the Triglav, the mountaineer Andrei Stremfelj was injured

A mountain accident occurred on Friday afternoon on the northern wall of Triglav, where part of the rock broke off during climbing in the famous German Route. The incident injured two experienced climbers, including 69-year-old Andrej Štremfelj from Škofja Loka, who was climbing with a 42-year-old climber. According to reports, the accident happened around 3 PM, and mountain rescuers from Mojstrana along with the emergency rescue team from Bled responded promptly. The injured were lifted by a winch into a police helicopter and transported to the University Clinical Center in Ljubljana for treatment. Štremfelj’s wife, Marija Štremfelj, shared updates on social media, stating her husband fell approximately seven meters but is now receiving medical care and is expected to recover. She thanked the rescuers, helicopter unit, and hospital staff for their quick assistance. Štremfelj is considered one of Slovenia’s most prominent climbers, having reached the summit of Mount Everest twice, once in 1979 with Nejc Zaplotnik and again in 1990 with his wife and Janez Meglič. He also received the prestigious Golden Pin award for lifetime achievement in mountaineering in 2018.

A famous Slovenian mountaineer was injured in the Triglav wall

On July 31, 2026, a portion of the Triglav mountain wall collapsed around 3 PM, injuring renowned Slovenian climber Andrej Štremfelj. Mountain rescue teams assisted in lifting the injured climbers into a police helicopter, which transported them to Ljubljana’s University Clinical Center. Štremfelj’s wife, Marija, confirmed the injury but stated the injuries were not severe enough to threaten his life, though he remains under hospital care. Štremfelj is celebrated as a legend in Slovenian alpinism, having reached Mount Everest in 1979 alongside Nejc Zaplotnik, making them the first Slovenians and then the first Yugoslav women to achieve this feat. He later summited Everest again in 1990 with his wife and fellow climber Janez Meglič. In 1992, he won the Bloudkovo Award and a gold medal for climbing Kangchenjunga with Marko Prezlj. In 2018, he became the first Slovenian climber to receive the gold medal for lifetime achievement.

The legendary Slovenian mountaineer was seriously injured on Triglav.

Na Triglavu je v četrtek popoldne prišlo do hude nesreče, med katero so se poškodovali dva alpinista. Med poškodovanimi je bil tudi slovenski legendarni alpinist Andrej Štremfelj, prvi slovenski prejemnik zlatega cepina za življenjsko delo v alpinizmu. Gorski reševalci so poškodovanega prepeljali v ljubljanski klinični center. Njegova žena je sporočila, da so poškodbe nespremenjene za življenje. Štremfelj je z znano partnerico Nejcem Zaplotnikom leta 1979 postal prvi Slovenec in Jugoslovane, ki sta dosegli vrh Mount Everest. Leta 1990 je njegova žena Marija prisotna bila pri njegovem vzponu, kar je predstavljalo prvo zakonsko paro na vrhu sveta. Štremfelj je tudi doslej edini prejemnik zlatega cepina za vrhunski vzpon in življenjsko delo.
