Ajdovska deklica, Vršič, Slovenia
Ajdovska deklica, also known as the Heathen Maiden, is one of the most famous natural landmarks on Vršič Pass and one of the most recognisable legends of the Julian Alps. The stone face appears in the northern wall of Prisank, also called Prisojnik, where natural rock formations create the shape of a mysterious woman looking toward the mountain world above Kranjska Gora and Trenta. Together with the Russian Chapel, Prisank Window, Mala Mojstrovka and the views from Vršič, Ajdovska deklica is one of the most meaningful sights along Slovenia’s highest mountain pass. It is especially interesting for photographers, hikers and travellers who enjoy places where nature, folklore and alpine scenery meet.
