What mountain is represented by the three peaks on Slovenia's coat of arms?

The three peaks on Slovenia’s coat of arms represent Mount Triglav.

Mount Triglav is shown as a stylized white three-peaked mountain on the blue shield at the center of Slovenia’s coat of arms. It is Slovenia’s highest mountain and has been a powerful national symbol since the rise of modern Slovenian national consciousness in the 19th century.

The emblem was designed by Marko Pogačnik and adopted in 1991, when Slovenia became independent. Beneath Triglav are two wavy blue lines representing Slovenia’s sea and rivers. Above the mountain are three golden six-pointed stars, taken from the arms of the medieval Counts of Celje.

The three peaks are not intended to depict three separate famous mountains, nor are they Mount Olympus or Mount Elbrus. They are a stylized representation of one landmark: Triglav. The mountain’s name means “three-headed,” which makes the three-peaked form especially appropriate for the national emblem and helps explain why the image is so recognizable.
