Time is too short. From altimeter 2230 only possible with climbing equipment. Great tour with a viewpoint through the mountain window into the valley.

The difficult hike took about 6 hours with perfect weather and 30 minutes break and demanded everything from us! The pictures show the partly vertical ascents and descents (makes 3h of the tour) not. Horny tour, but in the rain life-threatening and very very high climbing ... up and down. For alpinists sure well possible. Overall, well marked. Helmet recommended

I don't think the previous tips are very helpful, since it's not at all clear what we're talking about!
The Vrsic saddle is on the way from the Vrsic pass with parking up to the Postarski hut. From the saddle, two paths lead up to the famous rock window (Prisank Okno), the largest rock window in the Alps. A path leads in an easterly, then south-easterly direction about 100 m down into the green valley, then along the slope slightly up to the entrance to the via ferrata on the north face of the Prisank rock massif. The via ferrata is demanding, only partially secured (only exposed areas) and leads excitingly up to the impressive rock window, through which a steep path leads up. After crossing the rock window one can continue to climb to the Prisank.
The path south leads over a hilltop, then slowly uphill for a long time on a gravel slope on the west side of the Prisank massif to the Na Robu crossroads and from there in a northeasterly direction on the steep southwest slope of the massif about 500 meters up to the upper opening of the huge rock window ( and from there just further up to the Prisank summit).
A nice day tour consists of climbing up via the via ferrata and then descending via the latter paths. Such a round trip can easily be done in five to six hours.
