Mihov dom na Vršiču - Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču (footpath)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to Mihov dom na Vršiču, where we park (parking lot is located between the 4th and 5th hairpin turns).

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, and after a few steps of walking, it brings us to Mihov dom na Vršiču.
We continue the ascent on the zig-zag road, where only a few steps after the eighth turn we come to a smaller crossing, where the path branches off to the left towards the Russian chapel. After a short ascent on stairs, we come to the mentioned chapel, and here we continue a little to the right, where in a few steps we again step on Vršič road. We continue the ascent on the road, from which a little higher marked path towards the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča branches off to the right.
We continue right and the path already after a few steps of additional walking brings us to the next crossing, where we continue on the left path (right unmarked path to Kumlehova glava and Visoki Mavrinc). A badly marked path a little higher crosses a small spring, and then turns to the left, where it is then for quite some time ascending through the forest. Higher, we step out of the forest, and the path only a little further brings us to the Vršiška or Ruska road. The mentioned road or shortcut we then follow all the way to the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču, which we reach after a few minutes of additional walking.
