Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, we drive over the Vršič pass towards Bovec or vice versa, following the road to the 49th hairpin turn of the Ruska or Vršiška road. Here we turn onto a side road, along which after approximately 1 km of additional driving, we arrive at the parking lot at the Koča pri izviru Soče.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return along the road about 50 m back, then continue in the direction of the footpath to Vršič. The path starts beside a smaller stone fence, then leads us past a smaller hut into the forest. Through the forest, we ascend gently for a short time, then the blazes lead us to the other side of the Limarica stream. Further on, we gradually start to ascend more steeply along the left bank of the Limarica, and from the path, which runs below the steep walls of Maklenova peč, nice views begin to open up on Bavški Grintavec and the Pelci ridge. Higher up, the path enters the forest, through which we then ascend for quite some time. Through the forest, we ascend along an old mule track, which we leave higher up, as the sign for Vršič directs us left onto a leaf-covered footpath, which soon joins the old macadam road.
We follow the road to the right, then after a few minutes of ascent leave it, as somewhat poorly visible blazes direct us left. Higher up, we rejoin the road, which brings us out of the forest onto increasingly panoramic slopes. With a view of the surrounding peaks, we walk to the memorial marker, and just a few meters behind the marker we leave the road and continue left across the torrent gully. We follow this path, which further ascends transversely across occasionally somewhat steeper slopes, all the way to the asphalt road.
When we reach the Ruska cesta, along it we ascend in about 10 minutes almost to the Vršič pass, where just before the start of the parking lot we continue right towards the nearby Tičarjev dom, which we reach after a few dozen steps of further walking.
From Tičarjev dom we continue on the macadam road, along which we start to ascend moderately across panoramic slopes. With a view of the surrounding peaks, we quickly arrive at a marked junction.
Here we continue straight (right Sovna glava, Prisank, Razor...) on the road, from which a nice view also opens up on the Ajdovska deklica. Here the road turns quite to the left and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the Poštarski dom na Vršiču.
