Heathen Maiden, Rock formation in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
The northern wall of Mount Prisojnik displays a natural stone formation that forms the profile of a female face looking across the valley.
Ancient Slovenian tales mention a young woman who predicted the fate of unborn children until other mountain dwellers transformed her into stone.
The formation represents a central element in Julian Alps folklore, connecting natural features with traditional mountain mythology and storytelling.
Visitors can observe the rock formation from two mountain cabins: the Poštarski dom and the Erjavec lodge along the Vršič mountain route.
The geological pattern in the rock creates precise facial features visible from specific angles, including distinguishable eyes, nose, and lips.
