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. Further over the scree we cross slopes on the west side of Prisank / Prisojnik. The path ahead a little steeper ascends and it brings us to the spot, where the path Grebenska pot on Prisojnik branches off to the left, and in the direction of straight continues the path which leads on Razor, Pogačnikov dom and Prisojnik on paths Južna, Slovenska and Jubilejna pot.
From the crossing, we go on the path Grebenska pot, which continues on the southern slope right below the ridge of Prisojnik. The path ahead leads us on a very steep slope, which is mainly in wet very dangerous for slipping. Higher, the path turns a little to the right, and from the left joins the path which leads through the window Prednje okno (Kopiščarjeva pot).
Window, which we see on our left side (below us), we bypass on the right side, and the path above the window becomes technically demanding. The path further runs on precipitous ridge and we have fixed safety gear for help, which help us to move forward safely. After some time problems a little decreases, but danger is not over yet, because we all the time walk on a ridge, which is in parts very exposed. A little below the summit, the path avoids the ridge on the south slopes, where joins the path Slovenska pot.
Here we continue left and only a short ascent follows to a very panoramic peak.
We can descend on an easier path Slovenska pot.
