Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču - Sovna glava (on footpath)

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 a smaller saddle we continue right towards Vršič (left Razor and Prisojnik) and we ascend right below the peak of Sovna glava, for the ascent on the very peak we have to leave the marked path and in few steps walk on a grassy peak.
