Logarska Dolina is a valley nestled in the Kamink Alps. As we drove into the area and rounded the bend, we were absolutely stunned by the mountain scenery. This is one of those “photos don’t do it justice” kind of places. We drove through the valley to our hotel, a super cute mountain cottage.
Our place had this “fairytale forest” attached to it, where you walk through the trees and there are little signposts and wood carvings of different fairytales. Walking through it at sundown, had a tranquil ethereal kind of vibe.
The next morning we set out on a 7km hike through the valley. We walked through Forrest’s and meadows and past little streams while taking in the massive mountains above. The hike I ended at the Rinka falls, and we climbed up to a tiny bar called the Eagle’s Nest to have some cold beers overlooking the falls.
Our hotel was super quaint, with a massive breakfast spread of homemade cured meats, homemade cheeses, and tons of other local goods.
The next day, we set off on our bike ride on the panoramic road. This 40km loop goes up through the mountains and would have been a brutal ride, but we did it on E-bikes which made it way easier. The loop takes you through rolling hills, meadows filled with wildflowers butterflies and bees, and other breathtaking scenery. We seriously felt like we were in the Sound of Music or something. Pure magic. At the top of the mountain, along with the tiny little local eateries, we found a cured meat vending machine. Wow… it’s insane that you can just get a slab of prosciutto from a vending machine here… they really are hardcore about their cured meats! The end of the bike ride was pretty steep downhill over windy roads, where we were left clutching our breaks for dear life. It was quite a ride.
