Vršič - Sovna glava

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only as far as the Vršič pass, 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 reach a small intersection, where we continue left onto the side road, which after a short ascent brings us to Tičarjev dom na Vršiču.
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 views of the surrounding peaks, we quickly reach a marked junction.
Here we continue right in the direction of Prisanka and Razor (straight along the road to Poštarski dom and the summit of Vršič) and continue the path along a well-trodden hiking trail, which for some time continues along a gentle and scenic ridge. After a few minutes the path begins to climb 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. Here we leave the marked path and after a few steps off-trail we climb to the scenic and spacious summit.
