Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču - Poštarski dom na Vršiču (on old road)

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 we continue towards the south in the direction of the mountain hut Poštarski dom na Vršiču. The path from a meadow quickly passes into thin, mostly larch forest, where at first crosses slopes, and then also bigger torrent gully. After the gully the path starts ascending, and from our path soon left downwards unmarked footpath branches off, which leads towards the mountain hut Tonkina koča na Vršiču (footpath lower joins the old road). Next follows a little more of walking on a footpath, and then we get to an old road which we at first cross on a marked shortcut, and then we continue the ascent there. Further more often beautiful views opening up on surrounding mountains and walls. On one of the zig-zags in the direction of straight the path continues towards Prisojnik (path through the window Prednje Prisojnikovo okno), and then in few more zig-zags we reach plain before the mountain hut Poštarski dom na Vršiču. From here follows only a short walk and the path brings us to the mountain hut Poštarski dom.
