Why visit the Logar Valley in Slovenia?
A picture is probably worth anything I could tell you. It is hard to describe why this valley in particular is so impressive. Probably because it is just the right size (not to narrow and not too large), because it displays magnificent shades of green and because it ends with an amphitheater of bare summits with very steep slopes. Plus, it has remained quite pristine, only shaped by the historical farms of the region. Let me show you what I mean in one picture – Can you understand why I think...

Where to stay in the Logar Valley? A few Guesthouses and farms are providing accommodation in the region. But the main Logarska Dolina hotel is Hotel Plesnik. It is located where there is the best view of the valley. This is why I booked there, just to be able to see that view (the one on the first photo in the next section) all the time while stay...
The advantage of Logarska Dolina (or not depending on your perspective) is that you can drive all the way to the end of the valley. The road is in good condition. It is a very easy drive. So, there are 3 main ways to explore the Valley: 1. Drive and stop at the different carparks 2. Walk the whole trail (mostly flat) 3. Bike through the valley The ...
Slap Rinka Waterfall
There are several hikes in the region and 6 waterfalls. One of the most famous is the one to the Rinka Waterfall, which is quite different from all the other waterfalls in Slovenia. Here it is, a straight 90m drop:
Logar Valley Hike to Rinka Waterfall
The Rinka waterfall is a single 90m drop against the grey and orange rock wall. It is often said that it is the tallest in Slovenia but apparently, it is not the case. To reach it you have to drive all the way to the end carpark in the valley. There is a bar and facilities. From there it is a 15 min hike uphill. It is quite steep, and the rocks are slippery so wear good footwear and make sure you are fit enough. There are more hiking opportunities in the area. Check with the visitor center in...
Palenk Waterfall
If you want to see a waterfall that is more easily accessed, you can check out Slap Palenk right behind Hotel Plesnik. When I visited, there was almost no water falling, so it was just a big rock wall. But when water is flowing it must be nice, especially when it is freezing in Winter.
Robanov Kot
Just South of the Logar Valley, is Robanov Kot Glacial Valley. It is also a protected nature area that leads to Mt Ojstrica. It is a lot less touristy and there is a nice trail through the valley (not possible to drive all the way): 1h walk. It takes its name after the ancient Roban Farms which have been inhabited for more than 800 years. As you can see on the photo above there was not much water when I visited. Don’t hesitate to enter the Govc-Vrsnik Tourist farm to learn more about the regi...
Matkov Kot
This valley is only 5km in length. It is the smallest of the Solcava Region. It is named after the ancient Matk farm. Its main attraction is Matkov Skaf (at 1480m in elevation). It is a snow pit full of snow in Winter, but turning into a funnel and waterfall in Summer. Access is via a difficult trail that is 3.9km long.
Another highlight of the region is the Solcava Panoramic road they have been developing, one of the most beautiful drives in the countries (along with the VRSIC pass road). Its local name is Solčavsko.
The area is also fantastic for hiking. Some of the best trails include: 1. Slap Rinka waterfall (as listed above) 2. Matkov Skaf in Matkov Kot (as listed above) 3. Koca na Klemenci jami (short easy hike) or continue to Strelovec or to Ojstrica (but only for experienced hikers) 4. Frischaufov dom na Okreslju (Moderate short hike) to a mountain hut 5...
