Vršič pass

Snowy and windy weekend at Vršič

The Russian Chapel dedicated to Saint Vladimir, was built by Russian prisoners of war during WWI. In March 1916 an avalanche buried a POW work camp, killing approximately 120 prisoners and guards.



Tonkina hut


Poštarski hut



Ajdovska deklica (Heathen Maiden)
Pagan girl has lived under the cliffs of Prisank and guides travelers over Vršič pass to Trenta and when they returned, they left her food to thank her. She was also a prophet. One night she prophesied newborn son to become a hunter and will shoot Goldhorn capricorn. When her sisters heard this prophecy, they petrified her under Prisank mountain.
