Logar Valley Landscape Park

The play of nature created the Logar valley deep in the heart of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and surrounded it with over 2,000m-high peaks (among them: Krofička, Ojstrica, Planjava, Brana, Turska gora, Rinke). Today's picturesque appearance of the Logar valley was created by a glacier in the last Ice Age.

The length of the valley is 7km, and the average width is 250m. It is divided into three parts. Log and Plest are characterised by grassy oases, while Kot is mostly overgrown with forest. The murmur of the magnificent Rinka waterfall can be heard behind the green scenery of the forest.

Nature lovers are attracted to the Logar valley due to its unspoilt environment and numerous natural attractions. Farms that have created a cultural landscape over the centuries have also left their mark on the area. The coexistence between man and nature is a value that is rarely found today.

Due to the aforementioned values, the Logar valley was declared a landscape park in 1987. The park covers the entire valley to the ridges of the mountains, covering a total of 203km2. It builds its image on sustainable development and the quality of its tourist facilities.

Due to its beautiful location, the Logar valley makes an excellent base for numerous scenic hikes among the peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

Based on the accession work and assessment conducted within the Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, the Logar Valley Landscape Park has been awarded the Slovenia Green Park label.

A green (environmentally and socially responsible) destination is not just a project, task or responsibility of a tourist organisation alone. It is something that can only be achieved by all of us together – all stakeholders in the destination, in the public, non-governmental and private sectors – not only in tourism, but in all areas.

Last but not least, everyone who lives in the park is a crucial part of this process. It is extremely important that the Landscape Park is, first and foremost, a pleasant and friendly place for all who work and live in it, and well as for all those who visit.
