Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču - Prisank / Prisojnik (via Kajzljeva škrbina)

Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora take the road leading over the Vršič pass to Bovec or vice versa. Between the 22nd and 23rd serpentine of the Vršiška cesta you will reach the parking lot under Erjavčevo hut, where you park.

Path description:
Due to the damaged fixed safety gear, the described route is CLOSED until further notice (data from 5. 8. 2020).
From the parking lot at Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču, take the footpath towards the Postman's Home and Prisojnik along Kopiščarjeva cesta. The path is initially sloping and grassy, then crosses a small stream where a small spring usually flows, and then climbs cross-cuttingly after the stream. Continue on the marked path, which crosses an old road a little further on, and when you reach it for the second time, continue along it to the first serpentine on the right.
From the serpentine, continue straight on to the footpath, which continues to cross the slopes to the left, opening up a beautiful view of Ajdovská deklica and the surrounding mountains. After crossing a few small ravines, the path climbs steeply and leads to a marked crossroads, where you continue to the left (to the right, Poštarski dom na Vršiču).
There is a cross-climb towards the wall of Prisojnik, and before reaching the wall, the path branches off to the right towards the pass between Prisojnik and Sovno glava.
Continue on the right path (straight ahead Kopiščarjeva cesta na Prisojnik), which then climbs crosswise under the walls of Prisojnik. The slope becomes steeper and after a further 10 steps you reach a better-beaten path from the Vršič Pass.
From the small saddle, continue left towards Prisojnik (right Sovna glava and Vršič) and follow the scree. Continue across the scree to cross the slopes on the west side of Prisojnik. The way forward is slightly more ascending and leads us to the place where the Ridge Trail to Prisank branches off to the left, and in a straight direction the trail continues leading to Razor, Pogačnikov dom and Prisank (Prisank - South, Slovenian and Jubilee trails).

Continue straight ahead, the path becomes less steep and very quickly you are at the crossroads again. This time, continue to the left, following the signs "Prisojnik (Slovenian trail), Kajzljeva škrbina - Last Prisojnik", and to the right the trail leads towards Mlinarici and Razor.

From the crossroads, we then spend some time ascending the increasingly scenic grassy slopes to the east and the poorly beaten track from Mlinarica joins us from the right. Just a short distance later, we reach another crossroads.

This time, the Slovenian Trail to Prisojnik branches off to the left, and we continue straight on after the signs "Zvoniki, 2nd window in Zad. Prisojnik". The path crosses grassy slopes for a while, and then our path also turns slightly to the left and starts to climb steeply. Here we are also helped by a small cable car in a few places. The path continues to ascend, mostly crossing the slopes on the south side of Prisojnik, crossing a few short scree slopes and ravines. Higher up, the slopes we cross become a little steeper and the path is a little exposed in a few places. In the most difficult parts, the cable car is a help. When you reach the eastern side of Zvonikov, the path turns slightly to the left and then climbs up the rocky slope to Kajzljeva škrbina where you get a view of the north side.

At the notch where you join the Jubilee Trail at Prisank, continue left and move onto the steeper northern slopes. There is some exposed scrambling and then a steep climb to reach the southern slopes of the mountain again. Continue slightly right up the mountain and soon join the Slovenian and ridge trails to Prisank. From here it is just a short climb up the southern slope to a very scenic summit.
