Zlatorog kranjska gora6/2/2023 ![]() This myth is of such importance for locals that until not so long ago the people transporting goods over this mountain pass always left a piece a bread on the pass for the maiden. When she returned home to Mount Prisojnik, her body was transformed into stone. Infuriated that she foresaw the death of the Zlatorog, so the legend goes, the maiden’s siblings placed a curse on her. One day, she prophesized about a boy who would grow to become a hunter and catch the Zlatorog, or Goldenhorn, a mythical chamois buck with magical powers. She was also able to foretell the fates of unborn babies. Legend has it that the maiden was a good-hearted villager who often guided travelers through snowstorms. ![]() The wall face has a special place in Slovenian history and culture. With a human-like face and almost perfect symmetry the wall with these unique features is called the Heathen Maiden (Ajdovska deklica in Slovenian). In the Slovenian Julian Alps there is a wall that literally stares at you. As climbers we often stare at walls in the search of lines to climb.
