Prisojnik or Prisank is a mountain of the Julian Alps in Slovenia, the 18th tallest peak in the country at a height of 2,547 m. A popular hiking and climbing destination, it is located immediately above the well-traveled Vršič Pass, from where most ascents begin.
==Etymology== The mountain's name derives from *Prisъln(ьn)ikъ, composed of the prefix pri- 'by, at' + the root *sъlnь 'sun' + the noun-forming suffix -(n)ikъ, literally meaning 'the one near the sun'. The designation refers to the fact that, seen from the north, the sun travels across the mountain during the course of the day.
