The second-highest peak of the central part of the Kanin group, Prestreljenik is located about 2.5 km west of High Kanin / Canin Alto. It is best known for the "Window" (Okno), an erosion-arch feature located on its western ridge. This aperture is the source of both of the mountain's local endonyms, Prestreljenik ("shot-through" in Slovene) and Forato (Italian for "pierced").

The peak is accessible via the eastern ridge from the Petar Skalar Lodge, or—by a different route—via either Bovec or (crossing the Italian border) Sella Nevea and the Celso Gilberti Chalet. In winter, the peak is a popular destination for alpine skiers.^[1][2]
