Logar Valley to Ledinski Vrh Day Hike, Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Slovenia

Ledinski Vrh (2108 m) is an approachable peak in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, located on the border between Austria and Slovenia.

On the Slovenian side, you can hike to Ledinski Vrh from both Jezersko and Logar Valley.

The route from Logar Valley is particularly gorgeous, as you ascend from Slap Rinka waterfall up to the Okrešelj glacial cirque, and over the Savinjsko Sedlo saddle.

This is an excellent full-day excursion if you’re based in Logar Valley for a few days.

While Slovenians would describe this trail as “easy,” we’d label this hike as “moderately difficult,” because of the scree terrain and some steep passages.

Since most of the trail is unshaded, it’s best to start early in the morning during the hotter months of summer.

Logar Valley – Rinka Waterfall – Dom na Okrešlju (1:15 hours)

To reach the trailhead, drive to Logar Valley in the Solčavsko region of Northern Slovenia. After paying an entrance fee, drive through the valley to the car park at Bar Pod Slapom.

From the snack bar, the path leads to Rinka Falls in about 10 minutes. After crossing a footbridge, the trail climbs steeply through the forest, aided by timber steps.

A short ledge walk leads to a wooden staircase and another footbridge over a cascading stream. The route continues uphill with more cables and stairs. Light scrambling is required to cross boulders and ascend a rocky step. One steep section, likely a re-route, involves using tree roots for support.

After crossing a dry limestone river bed and squeezing between bright white boulders, the path ascends again through beech forest. The trail levels out in the wildflower-filled meadows of Okrešelj, a glacial cirque beneath the steep walls of Turska Gora, Rinka, Križ, and Mrzla Gora.

Okrešlj to Savinjsko Sedlo (1:45 hours)

Cross the scenic meadow of Okrešelj, carpeted with yellow globe flowers and hogweed.

The trail continues through the larch and spruce forest in the direction of pot čez Savinjsko Sedlo (signed 1:30 hours).

The ascent is initially quite gentle, following a rocky path in the direction of the Rinka peaks.

Spruce gives way to creeping pine. If you look back, you’ll see the magnificent Ojstrica and the Kamnik Saddle between Planjava and Brana.

You’ll cross a torrent (looks like a dried-up river bed) and continue ascending along a gravel path.

As you progress, you’ll come to a few marked intersections (signed on boulders). Always head in the direction of Kranjska koča na Ledinah and Savinjsko Sedlo. 

The trail crosses scree slopes and steeply ascends through some tight channels to the Savinjsko Sedlo, which lies on the Austrian-Slovenian border.

Savinjsko Sedlo – Jezersko Sedlo – Ledinski Vrh (30 minutes)

From the Savinjsko saddle, follow the middle trail on the Austrian-side to Jezersko Saddle (also called Seeländer Sattel).

You’ll see the trail stretch out in front of you, crossing the scree slope ahead.

After descending a few meters, horizontally cross the scree slope. The final ascent to Jezersko Saddle is very steep and slippery. Take extra care here. 

At the Jezersko saddle, the trail continues right to Ledinski Vrh peak, signed 20 minutes.

At the top, you’ll see the Kranjska koča na Ledinah and Češka koča na Spodnjih Ravneh mountain huts below. The mountain views are spectacular. 

The descent follows the same route you ascended.
