Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora on the road which leads over the mountain pass Vršič we drive towards Bovec or vice versa. Between 22th and 23th hairpin turn of Vršič road we will get to the parking lot below the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču we go on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Poštarski dom and Prisojnik on the path Kopiščarjeva pot. The path on which we walk is at first gentle and grassy, and then crosses a torrent, where usually runs a well, and behind the torrent it ascends diagonally. We continue on a marked path, which a little ahead crosses old road, and when we reach it the second time we continue there to first right hairpin turn.
From the mentioned hairpin turn we continue straight on a footpath which then crosses slopes towards the left, and from there nice view opens up towards Heathen maiden and surrounding mountains. After the crossing of some smaller gullies path for some time steeply ascends and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue left (right mountain hut Poštarski dom na Vršiču).
Next follows a diagonal ascent towards a wall of Prisojnik, still before we reach the wall the path branches off to the right towards the saddle between Prisojnik and Sovna glava.
We continue on the mentioned right path (straight path Kopiščarjeva pot on Prisojnik), which is further ascending diagonally below the mountain walls of Prisojnik. Higher slope flattens and after some additional 10 strides we reach better beaten path from the mountain pass Vršič.
From smaller saddle we continue left in the direction of Prisojnik (right Sovna glava and Vršič) and we continue on the scree, where we cross slopes on the west side of Prisojnik. The path then ascends a little and it brings us to a crossing, where the path Grebenska pot on Prisojnik branches off to the left. We continue straight, and the path becomes less steep and we are again very quickly at the crossing. This time path Slovenska pot on Prisojnik branches off to the left, and we continue right following the signs Razor (južna pot) and start descending a little. After that, the path passes on the south slopes and crosses slopes towards the east. On some spots, we also get help from some iron spikes and steel cables and then we come on grassy slopes. We soon come to a crossing, where we leave the path which leads towards Razor and we go left towards the notch Škrbina (1995 meters). Immediately after Škrbina path becomes demanding and steeply ascends with the help of steel cables and stemples. The path becomes for some time less demanding and then turns slightly to the right and brings us in front of the hardest part of the path. The path at first crosses a vertical slope to the left and then it ascends almost vertically towards the window Zadnje okno. This part of the path is very difficult because there aren't many footholds and it is also very exposed. Next follows a descent into a window, where in the early summer, there is often still snow and then ascent from the window on the northern side, where a view opens up in Krnica. Here the path turns to the left and then for quite some time crosses exposed slopes towards the west. When we come again on a ridge path becomes less exposed and from the left joins the path which branches off from the path Slovenska pot and crosses the south slopes. Again we pass over on steeper northern slopes and then follows some exposed crossing, and later we then steeply ascend and we again reach southern slopes of the mountain. We continue slightly right upward and we soon join paths Grebenska pot and Slovenska pot on Prisojnik. From here follows only a shorter ascent on the southern slope to a very panoramic summit.
The path Jubilejna pot on Prisojnik is one of the most difficult secured path on the territory of Slovenia and it is appropriate only for experienced mountaineers.
The descent is recommended on the path Slovenska pot.
