Facts and practical information

Mount Prestreljenik is a 2,499-meter mountain in the western range of the Julian Alps, in the Tolmin region of Slovenia on the Italian–Slovenian border. It is the second-highest peak in the central part of the Kanin group. Prestreljenik is known for the Window, an erosion-arch feature located on its western ridge. This aperture is the source of both of the mountain's local endonyms; Prestreljenik means 'shot-through' in Slovene, and Forato is Italian for 'pierced' ()
