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 the path for some time steeply ascends and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue right (left Prisojnik).
From the crossing follows crossing towards the right, and then we start ascending towards the south ridge of Vršič, which we reach on a smaller saddle, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue right on a wider macadam road, on which with a view on Heathen maiden and surrounding mountains we quickly reach the mountain hut Poštarski dom na Vršiču.
