Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču - Poštarski dom na Vršiču (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 the 22nd and 23rd hairpin turn of the Vršič road we will get to the parking lot below the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot at the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču we head onto the footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Poštarski dom and Prisojnik on Kopiščarjeva pot. The path on which we walk is at first gentle and grassy, then it crosses a torrent, where a small stream usually flows, and behind the torrent it ascends diagonally. We continue on the marked path, which a little ahead crosses the old road, and when we reach it the second time we continue along it to the first right hairpin turn.
From the mentioned hairpin turn we continue straight on the footpath, which further crosses slopes towards the left, from which a nice view opens up towards Ajdovska deklica and the surrounding mountains. After crossing some smaller gullies the path temporarily ascends more steeply and brings us to a marked junction, where we continue right (left Prisojnik).
From the junction follows a crossing towards the right, then we start ascending towards the south ridge of Vršič, which we reach on a smaller saddle, where there is a marked junction.
We continue right on a wider macadam road, on which with a view on Ajdovska deklica and the surrounding mountains we quickly reach the mountain hut Poštarski dom na Vršiču.
