From Kranjska Gora, we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to mountain pass Vršič, where we park.
Path description:
On Primorska side of the parking lot, we will notice a little narrower, at first still asphalt road on which in few 10 strides we walk to the mountain hut Tičarjev dom na Vršiču.
From the mountain hut Tičarjev dom we continue on a macadam road, on which we start moderately ascending over panoramic slopes. With a view on surrounding peaks, we quickly get to a marked crossing.
Here we continue right in the direction of Prisank and Razor (straight on the road mountain hut Poštarski dom and the peak Vršič) and we continue on a well-beaten mountain path, which for some time continues on gentle and panoramic ridge. After few minutes, the path starts ascending steeper through thinner lane of dwarf pines, and then it flattens and brings us right below top of grassy Sovna glava.
From Sovna glava follows a short descent and we already get to the next crossing, where we continue straight or slightly right (left leads the path on Prisank through the window Prednje okno). 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 Grebenska pot (ridge path) 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 or Slovenska pot and Jubilejna pot).
From the crossing, we go on the path Grebenska pot, which continues on the southern slope right below the ridge of Prisank. The path ahead leads us on a very steep slope and 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 Južna or 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.
