Tonkina koča na Vršiču - Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, on the road which leads over the Vršič pass, we drive towards Bovec or vice versa. Between the 16th and 17th hairpin turns of the Vršič road, we will get to the mountain hut Tonkina koča, near which we park on the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the mountain hut Tonkina koča, and from there we continue on the old road which leads towards the mountain hut Poštarski dom na Vršiču. On a fairly undulating road, from which occasionally a nice view opens up towards Špik and surrounding mountains, we walk to the first left hairpin bend. On the mentioned hairpin bend, an unmarked footpath branches off slightly to the right, which leads towards the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču. After two or three steps, the footpath turns left and then ascends parallel with the nearby torrent gully. A few minutes higher, we reach the marked path Erjavčeva koča - Poštarski dom, and we follow it to the right, that is, in the direction towards the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča. A gentle descent follows, then also a crossing of the previously mentioned gully. With nice views on the Špik group and Škrlatica, then in a few minutes of crossing we reach the parking lot below the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča, from which only a short ascent follows to the already several times mentioned mountain hut.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Križ
