Kranjska Gora: Prisojnik
Prisojnik combines a rugged limestone summit with forested Alpine slopes in a way that reflects its position in Slovenia’s Julian Alps. Also known as Prisank, this 2,547-metre mountain rises above the Vršič Pass, the high road linking Kranjska Gora with the Soča Valley. Its northern face is one of the range’s major rock walls, cut by gullies and pale limestone, while the surrounding slopes belong to Triglav National Park. The pass road carries a sombre history: it was built during the First World War by Russian prisoners of war, commemorated by the nearby Russian Chapel. Prisojnik defines the upper Sava Dolinka valley and is a major objective for experienced mountain walkers.
