Tonkina koča na Vršiču - Poštarski dom na Vršiču (on old road)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, along the road that 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 arrive at Tonkina koča, near which we park on the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to Tonkina koča, and from there we continue on the old road which leads towards Poštarski dom na Vršiču. On a quite gently sloping road, from which occasionally a nice view opens up towards Špik and surrounding mountains, we at first mostly walk through the forest. At the first left hairpin turn an unmarked footpath branches off to the right towards Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču, and we continue on the old road or wider mule track. Higher up, a marked path also joins from the right from Erjavčeva koča, and then beautiful views open up more often on surrounding mountains and walls. On one of the hairpin turns the path continues straight ahead towards Prisojnik (path through Prednje Prisojnikovo okno), and then in a few more hairpin turns we reach the plain before Poštarski dom na Vršiču. From here only a short walk follows and the path brings us to Poštarski dom.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Vršič vrh ( 10 min), Sovna glava ( 20 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
