A trail through the valley with an insight into the landscape park

The Logar valley trail is a themed, natural-ethnographic trail. It starts at the Logar farm in the lower part of the valley and leads through forests, past farms, across meadows, streams and torrents to the Rinka waterfall. It acquaints visitors with the natural features and heritage of the valley and landscape park. The stories of the Logar Valley Landscape Park testify to the fact that the locals have coexisted here with nature over the centuries.

A walk through the Logar valley allows one to appreciate the mountains, both symbolically and physically. The century-old Logar linden tree, forests, ancient homesteads, cottages and alpine pastures are testimony to the locals’ ability to attune their lives to nature.

A well-maintained, undemanding path alongside the stream leads to the source of the Črna stream and onwards past rock boulders. Signs and signposts direct the way through forests, along the edge of pastures to forestry and charcoal huts, and along streams to waterfalls.
