Between the more than 2000-meter-high peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, a 7-kilometer-long glacial valley was formed in the last ice age, which is divided into three parts: <strong>Log<\/strong> and <strong>Plest<\/strong> are covered with meadows, and <strong>Kot<\/strong> is overgrown with forest, behind which the Rinka waterfall murmurs. <\/p>\n\n<p>A lot of rare or endangered mountain flowers grow in the valley, especially in <strong>the botanical oasis of Okre\u0161elj<\/strong>. Mountain eagles and peregrine falcons fly across the valley, chamois and ibex graze on the higher slopes, and sheep of the Jezersko-Sol\u010dava breed on the mountains.<br\/>The main attraction of the valley is over <strong>20 waterfalls<\/strong>, among them: <br\/><em>- <strong>Rinka<\/strong> with 90 meters, one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in Slovenia,<br\/>- <strong>Palenk<\/strong> in the gorge of the same name, which is a popular point for wedding vows,<br\/>- <strong>Rastov\u0161ki waterfall<\/strong>, which leaps over several 10-meter rocks with petrified remains and<br\/>- Four <strong>Den Falls<\/strong>, which together overcome as much as 125 meters in height.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The source of the \u010crna<\/strong> River, which at the end of the valley merges with the Jezera River into the Savinja River, is one of the most mysterious parts of the valley with its reflections. It is black at the source due to its penetration through dark sedimentary clays of black color.<br\/>Three <strong>trees<\/strong> mark the Logar Valley. Along the road at the beginning of the valley grows the <strong>Logar linden tree<\/strong> with a circumference of almost 5 meters, and a few kilometers higher the <strong>Plesnik elm<\/strong> with a circumference of 370 centimeters. The third giant is <strong>a larch on Klemen\u010da Cave<\/strong>, between 200 and 300 years old.   <br\/><strong>Wooden granaries<\/strong> or <strong>castes<\/strong> are part of the heritage of the Sol\u010dava and Upper Savinja Valleys. They stored foodstuffs, especially cereals, and in some places they are still used today. In the Logar Valley you can see three: at the entrance to the valley, at the Logar farm or the one in which the TIC Logar Valley operates.<br\/>Logar's cottage (majerija) in Logar Corner, built of spruce trees, has preserved its original image from 1930. Today, it operates as <strong>the Logarski Kot Mountain Farm,<\/strong> where homemade food and products from Sol\u010dava farms are available.   <\/p>\n\n<p>For motor vehicles, <strong>the entrance<\/strong> fee to the valley applies, for all others (including electric vehicles!) admission is free.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Parking<\/strong> at the entrance to the valley:<br\/><strong>GPS<\/strong>: N 46\u00b0 25' 12\" (46.419924) \/ E 14\u00b0 38' 44\" (14.645536)<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>TIC Logar Valley<\/strong>, T: +386 (0)3 838 90 04<br\/>Logarska dolina 9, 3335 Sol\u010dava<br\/><em>There is <strong>a charging point for electric vehicles<\/strong> at the TIC, and you can also <strong>rent a bike<\/strong>.<\/em><br\/><strong>GPS<\/strong>: N 46\u00b0 25' 12\" (46.419924) \/ E 14\u00b0 38' 44\" (14.645536)<br\/> <br\/><strong><u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.logarska-dolina.si\/\">www.logarska-dolina.si<\/a><\/u><\/strong><br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.logarska-narazpotju.si\/\"><strong>The fairytale forest<\/strong><\/a> at the Pension Na Razcestju in the middle of the Logar Valley will be a reward <strong>for the youngest<\/strong>.
