In the Slovenian legend of Zlatorog (goldhorn), the white chamois buck (steinbock, ibex, capricorn), who had his realm in the heights of Mount Triglav, is well known in the entire region of Slovenia, in both Slovenian Carinthia and Austrian Carinthia, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Zlatorog had golden horns and lived in a fancy garden on the mountain. He was custodian of a hidden treasure. Three white ladies guarded the Zlatorog. Many men tried to kill Zlatorog to obtain the treasure. One day a greedy hunter came to steal the treasure, stalked Zlatorog and shot him cowardly. Zlatorog was injured and his blood ran for miles, carving out the mountains and lakes of the Triglav National Park. At the scene a lovely flower grew out of the soil and gave Zlatorog back his life.

Today he is remembered as a brand mark of the Slovenian brewery Laško.
