The legend of the 'Ajdovska' Maid
'Ajdovska' maiden predicts the death of 'Zlatorog'
The Ajdovska Maiden lived under the walls of Prisank and led travellers through snowdrifts over Vršič to Trenta.
She also visited young mothers and prophesied the fate of their newborn babies.
One night, she prophesied to a sleeping child in Trenta that he would become a hunter, shoot the 'Zlatorog' (Golden Horn) and use its horns to get fabulous riches. When the sisters of the maiden of Ajdovska maiden heard of this prophecy, they cursed her for predicting the death of Zlatorog. So she was petrified when she returned to the foot of the Prisojnik, and to this day she stares in amazement with her great stone eyes into the valley of the Trenta.
