Best Hikes to Ajdovska Deklica (Heathen Maiden) Rock Face

Tips

  • The face of the Ajdovščina girl in the northern side of Prisojnik was formed by broken rocks. The most beautiful view of it is from Poštarski dom in Vršič. The story goes that it was a petrified buckwheat girl. When she lived, she was of a good and merciful heart; it led mountaineers and trucks through snowdrifts into the Trenta Valley. She was also a soybean who prophesied to newborns. She prophesied to a newborn in Trenta that he would become a brave hunter like never before under Prisojnik; he will shoot a white chamois with golden horns, sell the antlers and enrich it fabulously. When the soybean sisters learned of the prophecy, they cursed her to be petrified when she returned to the wall.
