Waterfalls

RINKA WATERFALL

The Rinka waterfall is one of the highest freefalling waterfalls in Slovenia. The water flows from the area of Okrešelj then continues over smaller graduated rocks in the form of waterfalls and rapids to a glacial tectonic plate, where it falls in a majestic 90m-high arc into an amphitheatre basin beneath the Eagle’s Nest lookout and snack bar. It then soon disappears in the gravel deposit below Okrešelj. Due to its might and height, the Rinka waterfall was declared a natural monument in 1987.

The Logar Valley Trail leads to the waterfall and is also the most beautiful and most visited attraction in the valley. A marked hiking trail to the Frischaufov dom na Okrešlju mountain hut leads past the waterfall and onwards into the high mountains.

PALENK WATERFALL

The Palenk waterfall can be seen on the right bank of the valley, just above Hotel Plesnik and Vila Palenk. The waterfall falls over a shattered cliff with a height difference of 78m. It is particularly impressive when it rains. Above the waterfall is a narrow gorge with some extremely picturesque waterfalls. In winter, the waterfall is an attractive climbing area for lovers of climbing ice waterfalls. The Palenk waterfall is a popular spot for declaring one’s vows. The waterfall, as well as the Palenka gorge, have been declared natural monuments.

BRLOŽNICA WATERFALLS

The Brložnica stream spring below Zabrložnica (1,635m) on the left bank of the Logar valley. From the source it first flows quite gently, but then at an altitude of 1,122m the stream flows into a 9m-high waterfall and at an altitude of 997m it ends with an almost 40m-high and extremely magnificent waterfall. The Brložni waterfalls comprise four separate waterfalls spanning a total height of 125m. In addition to the lower waterfall, the surroundings of the upper waterfall are also very interesting. Just a few metres above the upper fall there is a natural window with a path that leads beneath it.

RASTOVCKI WATERFALL

The Rastovcki waterfall is located on the slopes on the right side of the Logar valley in Log. The stream, which is supplied with water in the slopes of Strelovec and Krofička, encounters graduating rock precipices that are between 10-20m-high in the valley. The aggregate is also interesting, as it is rich in fossilised remains that testify to life in the distant past.
