Vršič - Prisank / Prisojnik (Jubilejna pot)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to the mountain pass Vršič, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot we head onto the road in the direction of Trenta and at the end of the parking lot we arrive at a smaller intersection, where we continue left onto the side road, which after a short ascent brings us to Tičarjev dom on Vršič.
From Tičarjev dom we continue along the macadam road along which there are signs for Poštarski dom and along which we begin to ascend moderately across scenic slopes. With a view of the surrounding peaks, we quickly arrive at the marked junction.
Here we continue right in the direction of Prisanka and Razor (straight on the road to Poštarski dom and the summit of Vršič) and continue the path along a well-trodden mountain path, 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 brings 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 over scree we cross the slopes on the western side of Prisank or Prisojnik. The path then ascends a little more and brings us to the place where the Grebenska pot to Prisank branches off to the left, straight ahead continues the path that leads to Razor, Pogačnikov dom and Prisank (Prisank Slovenska pot and Jubilejna pot and Razor southern path).
We continue straight and the path quickly branches once more.
To the left the Slovenska pot to Prisojnik and the path towards Kajzljeva škrbina branch off, we continue right following the signs for Razor (southern path) and start descending a little. The path then passes onto the southern slopes and crosses the slopes towards the east. On some places we are also helped by some pitons and steel cables, then we come to grassy slopes. After a longer crossing we arrive at a junction, where we leave the path which leads towards Razor and head left towards Škrbina (1995 m). We quickly arrive at Škrbina, after Škrbina the path becomes more demanding and steeply ascends with the help of steel cables and rungs. The path becomes less demanding for some time, then turns slightly to the right and brings us in front of the hardest part of the path. The path first crosses a vertical slope to the left, then ascends almost vertically towards Zadnje okno. This part of the path is very demanding as there are relatively few footholds, and the exposure of the path is also great.
A descent into the window follows, where in early summer there is often still snow and then an ascent from the window on the northern side, where a view opens up into Krnica. Here the path turns to the left and then for quite some time crosses exposed slopes towards the west. When we come again on the ridge the path becomes less exposed and from the left joins the path which branches off from the Slovenska pot and crosses the southern slopes and brings us to Kajzljeva škrbina.
We follow the signs for Prisojnik and again pass onto steeper northern slopes and some more exposed crossing follows, later we steeply ascend and again reach the southern slopes of the mountain. We continue slightly right upwards and soon join the Slovenska pot, a bit further after the continued traversing ascent also the ridge path to Prisank.
Here we continue right and along the summit slope of the mountain, which is quite steep and in several parts dangerous for slipping, we reach the exceptionally panoramic summit of Prisank, or Prisojnik.

The Jubilejna pot to Prisank is one of the most demanding secured paths on the territory of Slovenia and is suitable only for experienced mountaineers.

Descent is recommended via the Slovenska pot.
