Tonkina koča na Vršiču - Vršič vrh

Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora take the road leading over the Vršič pass to Bovec or vice versa. Between the 16th and 17th serpentine of the Vršiška cesta you will reach Tonka's hut, near which you park in the roadside parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, first walk to Tonka's hut, and from there continue along the old road leading to the Postman's House on Vršič. We walk along the rather slippery road, which occasionally opens up a nice view towards Špik and the surrounding mountains, and at first we walk mostly through the forest. At the first left serpentine, an unmarked path branches off to the right towards Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču, and we continue along the old road or wider mulatier. Higher up, the marked path from Erjavčeva hut joins us from the right, and we continue to enjoy more and more beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and outcrops. On one of the serpentines, the path towards Prisojnik (the path through the Front Prisojnik Window) continues in a straight line, and we then reach a levelling in front of the Postman's House on Vršič in a few more serpentines. From here it is only a short walk and the path leads to the Postman's Home.
At the Postman's House we see the signs for Vršič, which direct us slightly to the right onto a clearly visible path which gradually becomes lane of dwarf pines. Here the path begins to climb steeply and after a few minutes' climb over a slope partly covered with dwarf pines leads us to a 1737 m high peak.
