Vršič - Razor

Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only as far as the Vršič pass, where you park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the narrow road that leads past the Tičar's home towards the Postman's home. After a short climb, the road turns left and then leads to signposts where fotpaths branch off the road. Bear right after the signs "Prisojnik, Razor" and climb past the grassy peak of Sovna glava. There is a short descent and we are at the crossroads again. To the left the path leads to Prisank through the front window, we continue on the right path and cross the scree slopes on the west side of Prisank. The path then climbs slightly and leads to a crossroads where the ridge path to Prisank branches off to the left. Continue straight ahead, the path becomes less steep and very quickly we are at the crossroads again. This time, the Slovenian (southern) trail to Prisank branches off to the left, and we continue to the right, following the Razor (southern trail) markers, and start to descend slightly. The trail then switches to the southern slopes and crosses the slopes to the east. In a few places we are helped by a few steel cables and steel cables and then we reach the grassy slopes. Soon we reach a crossroads where we continue to the right (Jubilee trail on Prisank on the left) in the direction of Razorja. The path crosses the slopes below Razor and leads us just a little further to the entrance to the more technically demanding part of the route. With the help of fixed safety gear we climb a short wall, which does not present any major problems. The route then heads south and towards the Tired Tower. Soon we are at the Planja saddle, where the path from Pogačnik's home joins us.
From the saddle Planja continue left (right Planja) along the path, which initially climbs along natural passages, where the path is occasionally only slightly exposed. A little further on, the path leads us past a cave where ice and snow usually stay almost all year round. From the cave onwards, we climb towards a notch, where we have to be careful not to break rocks. A little further on, we reach the place where the new path diverges from the old one. The old trail is permanently closed due to a rock fall in 2013, so turn right onto the beautifully marked new trail, which quickly leads to a short but very difficult climb where, according to the recommendations of the PZS, it is compulsory to use a self-belaying kit. With the help of a rope and crampons we climb the vertical or even overhanging chimney, which is also quite exposed to falling rocks due to the rocks above chimney. When the sheltered part ends, we are only a climb away along the lookout ridge to the top of Razor.
