The peaks around Erjavčeva koča - Ština glava

Nad Šitom glava, also known as Šitna glava, is a beautiful and often overlooked mountain above Vršič Pass in the Julian Alps. Rising to about 2,087 metres, it stands close to the famous peaks of Mala Mojstrovka and Prisank, but receives far less attention from most visitors crossing Slovenia’s highest mountain pass. This makes Nad Šitom glava a rewarding choice for hikers and mountain photographers who want panoramic views, a quieter alpine atmosphere and a real feeling of high mountain terrain without following the most crowded routes. From the summit area, visitors can enjoy impressive views toward Mojstrovka, Prisank, Špik, the Vršič area and the surrounding peaks of Triglav National Park.

The hidden peak - Nad Šitom glava, Slovenia

The route to Nad Šitom glava usually starts from Vršič Pass, making it one of the more accessible 2,000-metre peaks in this part of the Julian Alps when the pass road is open and conditions are stable. Although the ascent is relatively short compared with many larger alpine objectives, the mountain should still be treated with respect, as the terrain can be steep, rocky and exposed in places, especially in poor weather or outside the summer season. Nad Šitom glava is also known among climbers and ski mountaineers, with its eastern and northern rock faces offering a more serious alpine character than its modest height might suggest. Erjavčeva mountain hut on Vršič Pass is an excellent nearby base for admiring Nad Šitom glava, planning hikes, checking current conditions and exploring the wider mountain world between Kranjska Gora, Prisank, Mojstrovka and Triglav National Park.
