Path description:
From the parking lot we head onto the road in the direction of Trenta and at the end of the parking lot we reach a small intersection, where we continue left onto the side road, which after a short ascent takes us to Tičarjev dom na Vršiču.
From Tičarjev dom we continue along the gravel road next to which there are signs for Poštarski dom and along which we begin to ascend moderately over scenic slopes. With views of the surrounding peaks, we quickly reach a marked junction.
Here we continue right in the direction of Prisank and Razor (straight on the road to Poštarski dom and the summit of Vršič) and continue on a well-trodden mountain trail, which for some time continues along a gentle and scenic ridge. After a few minutes the path begins to ascend more steeply through a sparser belt of dwarf pines, then it levels out and takes us right below the summit of the grassy Sovna glava.
From Sovna glava follows a short descent to Sedlo za Sovno glavo and we are already at the next junction, where we continue straight or slightly right (left leads the path to Prisank through Prednje okno). In the continuation we cross the slopes on the western side of Prisank or Prisojnik over scree. The path ahead ascends a bit more and takes us to a place where the Grebenska pot to Prisank branches off to the left, while straight ahead continues the path that leads to Razor, Pogačnikov dom and Prisank (Prisank - Southern or Slovenian path and Jubilejna pot).
From the junction we head onto the Grebenska pot, which continues along the southern slope just below the ridge of Prisank. The path ahead leads us over a very steep slope and is especially dangerous for slipping when wet. Higher up the path turns slightly to the right, and from the left we are joined by the path that leads through Prednje okno (Kopiščarjeva pot).
The window which we see on our left side (below us), we bypass on the right side, and the path above the window becomes technically more demanding. The path in the continuation runs along an exposed ridge, and we are helped by fixed ropes that help us advance more safely. After some time the difficulties ease a little, but the danger is not over yet, as we walk along the ridge all the time, which is in places very exposed. A little below the summit the path moves away from the ridge onto the southern slopes, where other paths join us from the right (Slovenska pot, path over Kajzljeva škrbina and Jubilejna pot).
Here we continue left and only a short ascent to the very panoramic summit follows.
We can descend via the easier Slovenian path.
