The Heathen Maiden

The Heathen Maiden (Slovene: Ajdovska deklica) is the image of a girl with a sad face, a rock formation that resembles a human face. It can be seen in the northern face in the northern wall of Prisojnik, today one of the most interesting sights on our highest pass, Vršič. Many tourists stop here to see the image and read the legend of the Heathen Maiden. It can be best seen from the viewpoint at ‘Poštarski dom’ mountain cabin at Vršič, but it is also visible from the Erjavec mountain cabin.
