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 Prisojnik. The path ahead a little steeper ascends and it brings us to the spot, where the path Grebenska pot on Prisank branches off to the left, and in the direction of straight continues the path which leads on Razor, Pogačnikov dom and Prisank (Prisank - Južna, Slovenska and Jubilejna pot).
We continue straight, and the path becomes less steep and we are again very quickly at the crossing. This time we continue left in the direction of Prisank on the path Slovenska pot (right path in the notch Kajz škrbina and forward path Jubilejna pot). Further, we are ascending on the southern slopes of Prisank towards the east. The path then steeply ascends and here and there crosses some gully or overcomes rocky jump. The path is gradually becoming technically more demanding but it doesn't cause any serious problems. The path then starts turning to the left. To the top we have only a panoramic steep upper slope, which we overcome without any bigger problems. A little below the summit joins the path from the window Zadnje okno, and a little further also the path Grebenska pot. The upper slope of the mountain is quite steep and in some parts dangerous for slipping.
