Visoki Mavrinc - Špica v Sedelcih (1562M)
Indeed, Visoki Mavrinc is not above Vršič but slightly below it on the northern Kranjska Gora side. The densely wooded peak is not overly imposing, but its value lies in the fantastic view it offers, dominated by the groups of Špik, Škrlatica, and Prisank. You can reach Mavrinc in about an hour via an unmarked but well-trodden path. This enjoyable hike is feasible even when snow is on the higher peaks.
About the Hike to Visoki Mavrinc
Visoki Mavrinc, also known as Špica v Sedelcih, is a scenic 1,562-metre peak above the upper valleys of Suha, Mala Pišnica, and Velika Pišnica. It is one of the rewarding viewpoint hikes near the Vršič Pass and a great choice for visitors looking for a shorter mountain walk with impressive panoramic views.
At the summit, hikers will find a wooden cross, a bench, and a registration box. The views from Visoki Mavrinc are exceptional, stretching across Frdamane police, Špik, Velika Ponca, Škrlatica, Razor, Prisank, the Vršič Pass, Mala Mojstrovka, and the Robičje ridge. Because of this broad panorama, Visoki Mavrinc is one of the most attractive easier viewpoint hikes in the Julian Alps.
Although it is not among the highest peaks in the area, Visoki Mavrinc is a very worthwhile hike for visitors staying near Erjavčeva mountain hut or exploring the Kranjska Gora and Vršič region. It offers a peaceful summit experience and excellent views of some of the most famous mountains in Slovenia.
