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. In the summer months, it’s best to start early in the morning, because most of the trail is exposed and it gets very hot.

Ledinski Vrh Day Hike Route Description
Logar Valley – Rinka Waterfall – Dom na Okrešlju (1:15 hours)

Follow signs to Slap Rinka. It takes 10-minutes to reach the waterfall along a wide gravel path. Facing the Rinka waterfall, there’s a treehouse-hut structure called Orlovo gnezdo, where you can grab a drink or bite to eat.
Just before the waterfall, the trail steers left over a plank wooden bridge. Follow signs to Dom na Okrešlju (also called Frischaufov dom na Okrešlju). Note: this mountain hut on the Okrešlju cirque burned down in 2019. The hut is now a construction zone (summer 2020).
The trail ascends along the Savinja river, sometimes very steeply. Your ascent is aided by steel cables and wooden ladders.
You’ll cross the river on another wooden bridge and then continue ascending on the right side of the river to Izvir Savinje, the source of the Savinja River.
Here, you’ll cross the water again, and ascend through the forest to Okrešlju.
Okrešlj to Savinjsko Sedlo (1:45 hours)

The trail continues to a colorful meadow filled with yellow globe flowers and hogweed in early summer.
Here, you’ll see the prominent peaks of the Kamnik Alps rimming the amphitheater cirque of Okrešlj.
Hike to the top of the meadow to the red trail sign. The trail continues through the larch and spruce forest in the direction of pot čez Savinjsko Sedlo (signed 1,5 hrs)
The ascent is initially quite gentle, following a rocky path (low grade) 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 passages to the Savinjsko Sedlo, which is also 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.
