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.

Ajdovska Deklica (Heathen Maiden) Rock Face

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

Panoramic mountain above the Vršič pass and above and near the Postarski hut. Magnificent views down to the hut and behind it to the rock faces of the Prisank massif and in the opposite direction (west) to the massif around Mojstrovka and to the south of its foothills and down the valley to Kranjska Gora.

Today we snake our way curve 🔄 by curve 🔄 up the Vrsic Pass. The pass connects the places in the Šoca Valley (that's where we are at the moment 😉) with Kranjska Gora in the north.
Even during the drive, the high mountain massifs with their white snow-covered peaks impress us 😍!
Having reached the highest point, the landscape …

On the way over the pass a short break with delicious pancakes with blueberries. Warm view of the Triglav National Park. Here was my 20th day of the Salzburg - Trieste hike last year. Oh that was beautiful.👣
