Logar Valley
Logarska dolina
A glacial U-shaped valley in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps with Rinka Falls at its end. It is one of the best-known mountain landscapes in northern Slovenia.
Logar Valley lies in the municipality of Solčava in northern Slovenia. Formed by glacial erosion, it is about 7 km long and is enclosed on three sides by limestone cliffs of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. The valley floor is made up of meadows, spruce forest and scattered farmsteads. The Logar Valley Landscape Park was established in 1987 and covers about 24.75 square km. At the far end of the valley, Rinka Falls drop about 90 m. It is one of the sources of the Savinja River, and it is a few minutes' walk from the car park at the end of the valley. You can also walk the valley's 7 km trail from the entrance to the falls, passing smaller waterfalls and forest paths. From April to October, motor vehicles entering the valley must pay an environmental fee (about 10 euros for a car), while walking and cycling are free. It is about 1.5 hours by car from Ljubljana or Celje. Public transport runs infrequently, so driving is best. Most visitors spend half a day, while a high-level hike takes a full day.
