Logar Valley, a glacial valley ringed by rock walls

Things to do in Logar Valley: the Rinka waterfall

First, the Rinka waterfall, 90 m high, at the head of the valley and the best known of its many falls. The Trail through Logar Valley is a natural, historical and ethnographic route that winds through the park’s corners, with rare and sometimes endangered flowers. Along the way you pass kašče, wooden granaries that were part of every farm and in some cases still store grain. The tourist board also mentions the house of spiritual retreat, the Logarski kot herdsmen’s hut and the Chapel of Christ the King.

Summer and winter in the valley

In summer the valley is for walking, cycling, horse riding or photographing wildlife, and from the valley floor you can climb towards the mountain huts and peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Children have a fairy-tale forest full of their favourite characters. You can even soar over the valley in a glider. In winter come cross-country skiing, sledging, downhill skiing, ski touring and ice climbing on frozen waterfalls.

Robanov kot and the neighbouring valleys

Logar Valley shares its municipality with two other glacial valleys worth seeing. Robanov kot, another glacial landscape park, loses nothing in beauty by comparison, says the tourist board, and Matkov kot is where people shoot arrows with the mountains behind them. Most people in the area live on high mountain farms, including Bukovnik at 1,327 m, the highest in Slovenia, and work mainly with wood and wool. Staying on one of these farms is the best way to see how the valley lives, and many of them cook and sell their own produce.

Where to eat: the farms

Solčava’s farms cook their own produce, and the tourist board mentions Upper Savinja stomach sausage, sirnek, masovnik, sirnica soup, lamb, venison, dried-pear žlinkrofi and buckwheat žganci, along with home-made bread, potica, butter and honey.

A protected glacial valley

The tourist board describes Logar Valley as one of the most beautiful Alpine glacial valleys in Europe and highlights its balance between tradition, people and nature. As a landscape park it has received CIPRA’s Future in the Alps award for successful management of the protected area. According to SURS, the settlement of Logarska Dolina had 113 residents on 1 January 2026.

How long to stay and getting there

I’d give the valley a full day, with the waterfall in the morning, and another to Robanov kot or the Solčava Panoramic Road. Coming from Ljubljana, the valley opens up at Vransko, the gateway to the Savinja. In my view few places reward a visit as much in Savinjska.
