We went on a weekend trip to Logar valley! Let this be your guide!

Since I moved to Zagreb, it has become the source of my new Western destinations. I believe that if you have already read my articles on Adria.fun, then you surely know that I practice simple and affordable trips on a large scale, so Logar Valley was on my map this weekend, as one of those affordable trips that you can visit even in one day.

If, just like me, you head from the direction of Zagreb, then it will take you approximately three hours along the old road that winds through beautiful landscapes, and on the way you can also stop in beautiful Ljubljana or Kamnik.

Logar Valley is 7 kilometers long, they say it has a width of about 250 meters. It is divided into three parts, the first of which is Log, which is actually a wet grassy territory, followed by Plest as the central wooded part, and Kot itself as an elevated part of the valley. My free estimate is that you can tour the entire Logar Valley in one day!

Entrance to the valley costs 7.5 euros for cars and buses a little more, and I would say that pedestrians and cyclists do not have to pay for this. We decided to go by car to one part, and then on foot, and the map that you get at the entrance is a lifesaver, which will be practical for all kinds of navigation through the entire valley.

If you get hungry at any time, know that there are several restaurants and cafes where you can have your favorite drink. For example, the prices of coffee or beer are 3 euros on average.

Of course, don’t forget sports clothes and shoes, don’t be like my boyfriend who nonchalantly set off in open slippers, although he didn’t admit it, he certainly didn’t have a very good time reaching Rinka waterfall. When you get to the waterfall, be sure to venture up to the cafe Eagle’s Nest Bar, which is built in the middle of the hill/rock and has an amazing view of the waterfall.

My warm recommendation is to visit the Palenk waterfall, Logarjeve lipe, the Solčava panoramic road, and Roban’s Cove. There is, of course, the mountain lodge on Okrešje one of the highest peaks with a fantastic view, but also the former partisan hospital!

An interesting piece of information is that there is a lot of accommodation around Logar Valley, as well as people who rent bicycles for hiking. We ventured to the Herbal Glamping Resort Ljubno, which is located about half an hour from the valley itself. In addition to having practical tents that contain sockets, a light, and a padlock to close the tent, they also have landscaped nature, a restaurant, swimming pools, and a fairytale sauna.

Perhaps the charm of the women at the reception, as well as Andrea, who hosted us in the restaurant, won me over the most. It was the first time I ate a roe steak, and the selection of wines is not to be disregarded as well! This note of care for the guests is very important to me personally, and they justified all my expectations. Thus, umbrellas, extra towels, shampoos, and blankets are available 24 hours a day if needed.

Accommodation prices are affordable, of course, with breakfast and parking included, so I see no reason why you haven’t already booked this place as your accommodation!

And of course at the end, once again to establish the rules, sports clothes and shoes, a bottle of water, a lot of good mood, and tents in nature are a MUST-HAVE combination this fall!

On the way back, I recommend that you also stop by Celje. Until next time, cheers!
