The
Logar valley is considered one of the most beautiful and most frequently
portrayed alpine glacial valleys in Europe. This most easily recognizable
landmark of the Solčava region is nestled in the heart of the Kamnik-Savinja
Alps.
The
appeal of the Logar Valley lies in the essence of the natural environment and
landmarks, while also leaving their marks on the region are the farms, shaping
the cultural landscape through the centuries. It was declared a landscape park
in 1987.
The
valley measures 7 km in length and is on average 250 m wide. Its lower part is
known as Log, the middle is called Plest, while the upper section is known as
Kot. Log and Plest are famous for their beautiful meadows, while Kot is in part
covered in forests. The valley is enclosed in its upper section by the cirque
underneath Mt. Okrešelj, known in particular for the famous Rinka Fall,
the source of the ice-cold Savinja at an altitude of 1,280 m, which is
considered one of the most beautiful and one of the highest waterfalls in
Slovenia. To access the valley by car, visitors should drive through the
village of Solčava.
