Rinka Falls

Rinka Falls is a waterfall in Logar Valley that drops about 105 meters from a vertical cliff, forming the source of the Savinja River. The water plunges straight down between steep rocky walls covered with green moss and vegetation.

This waterfall received official protection as a natural monument in 1987, recognizing its ecological importance. The site has long been valued as a prominent feature of the Slovenian landscape.

The name Rinka comes from a Slovenian word meaning ring or loop, reflecting the linguistic ties of the region. Local people have used this place as a natural landmark for centuries.

The walk from the parking area to the waterfall takes about 10 minutes and follows a clear, well-marked trail. Visiting early in the morning or outside peak season helps you avoid crowds and enjoy the place more peacefully.

During winter, the falling water freezes into a spectacular wall of ice that attracts climbers from across Europe. This seasonal transformation makes the waterfall a completely different experience for those visiting in cold months.
