Escape to the Heart of the Alps
Away from all the chaos and crowds of cities and perfectly tucked in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps is the Logar Valley. It is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful Alpine glacial valleys in Europe. Untouched by mass tourism and protected as a landscape park. The valley offers a rare blend of dramatic peaks, wildflower meadows, and rushing streams. This Logar Valley Tour is designed to take you deep into that landscape. Pack your bags for some of Slovenia's most photogenic scenery.
The departures for Logar Valley from Ljubljana will be early in the morning to catch the valley's soft morning mist drifting between the peaks. We are happy to adjust timing to suit your schedule and group size. The early start also means you'll likely have the valley largely to yourselves before the day's other visitors arrive. To get any changes made to the itinerary, you can connect with our team and get it tailored as per your plan.
No Logar Valley tour package experience is complete without a stop at Rinka Waterfall. It is the second-highest waterfall in Slovenia which is fed by melting snow and mountain springs. Rinka cascades down a sheer rock face at the head of the valley. It is framed by dense pine forest, which makes it even more serene. Visitors can choose to stand at the base and feel the spray of the waterfall.
Rinka Waterfall and the Valley's Natural Highlights
Beyond Rinka Waterfall, Logar Valley is scattered with smaller waterfalls, natural springs, and traditional hay racks (kozolci). These are unique to Slovenian farming culture. While driving through the valley floor, Kozolci add to the quiet charm even before you reach the main trailhead.
Kamniška Bistrica and Predaselj Gorge
On your return journey, the tour makes a stop at the source of the Kamniška Bistrica River. It is the spot where crystal-clear water emerges from beneath the mountains. A very peaceful and photogenic spot that's popular with hikers and nature photographers alike. From here, the route continues past the dramatic Predaselj Gorge. It is a narrow limestone canyon carved by centuries of flowing water.
A Private, Flexible Alpine Experience
As with all our Slovenia Private Tour itineraries, this trip is run entirely at your pace. You get a dedicated English-speaking driver who has local knowledge. This private tour experience will be unique and calm with no fixed group schedule. Whether you want to spend extra time hiking, stop more often for photos, or simply relax and take in the scenery. The day is shaped around you.
Optional Extension: Jezersko and the Austrian Alps
For travellers with extra time, this tour can be extended into a scenic loop through Jezersko. It is home to a hidden alpine lake and some of Slovenia's most peaceful mountain scenery. The extended route also skirts the edge of the Austrian Alps. It passes a viewpoint overlooking two valleys at once. It could be a memorable add-on for anyone who wants to see even more of the region in a single day. This makes our Logar Valley Tour one of the most flexible and rewarding Alpine day trips available from Ljubljana.
