Logar Valley - Rinka Waterfall

The Rinka Waterfall is located in the Logar Valley. From the parking place to the waterfal goes the unassuming trail that takes about 15 minutes. The Savinja River springs from several sources under the Okreselj Basin, after which it flows over a series of small falls and rapids to the cliff-like edge of the Logar Valley. The one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Slovenia, Rinka Waterfall, falls over about 100 metre high wall. The wall of the waterfall is made from lime breccia, which gives to slope a typical reddish colour. The Rinka Waterfall is 90 metre high and belongs among one of the highest free falling waterfalls in Slovenia. Because of the long fall the water in the air disperses into tiny droplets and provides a beautiful view and a pleasant refreshment on a hot summer days. Under the waterfall is a small pool. The waterfall has the most water in heavier rainfall and in the spring time. A few metre in front of the waterfall is situated a cottage called Eagle's Nest, where we can refresh and enjoy in a beautiful view to the Rinka Waterfall. Rinka Waterfall is one of the most popular and visited waterfalls in Savinja Valley. In winter time is especially visited by mountaineers which are tested in the ice climbing. We can continue the road to Okreselj, where is the alpine home and a beautiful view to the surrounding mountains.
