Alpine Logar Valley

2-Day Tour, start from Logar Valley, pick-up from Solčava / Luče

Join us on this two-day tour in the beautiful Kamnik-Savinja Alps above the green Logar Valley and get a taste of the real mountains. On the first day, we go off to explore Mt. Planjava, one of the two last big peaks in the farthest east of the Slovenian Alps. If its steep north face above the Logar Valley offers serious climbing routes, we’ll select an easier route with only a couple of exposed spots. From Planjava, we traverse forward to the enchanting green meadow Kamnik Saddle and spend the night in a comfortable mountain hut. On the second day, we explore another beautiful peak above the hut, Brana, soak up stunning views of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, and then descend back down to the Logar Valley with a stop by the plummeting Rinka Falls. The tour is suitable for mountaineering beginners with a good degree of physical fitness, while it will absolutely fascinate experienced mountaineers as well.

Day 1:  Logar Valley - Planjava - Kamnik Saddle (hut)

Starting from the beautiful Logar Valley, a nice and easy trail takes us first through the forest to several glades, when it gradually becomes more rocky and passes slopes and a short rock formation until it reaches a pass between Mt. Planjava and Mt. Ojstrica. From the Škarje Pass we can extend our adventure to Mt. Ojstrica, 2,350 m, or ascend directly to our peak of the day, Mt. Planjava, 2,394 m. From the top of Mt. Planjava we make a 2-h traverse to the beautiful high-Alpine meadow Kamnik Saddle, where we spend the night in a comfortable mountain hut.

Day 2:  Kamnik Saddle - Brana - Rinka Falls - Logar Valley

On the second day, we explore another beautiful peak above the hut, Mt. Brana, soak up stunning views fo the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, and then descend back down to the Logar Valley with a stop by the plummeting Rinka Falls.
