Rinka Waterfall
Solčava, Slovenia
A 90 m waterfall at the head of the Logar Valley, a short climb from the car park at the end of the road.
The Rinka Waterfall (Slap Rinka) lies in the Logar Valley in the municipality of Solčava in northern Slovenia and is the source of the Savinja River. Figures for its height differ: Wikipedia gives 105 m and calls it the highest of the roughly 20 waterfalls in the valley, while slovenia.info and Lonely Planet say 90 m and calls it the most notable waterfall of the valley, which the park website also highlights as an attraction of the Logar Valley.
In winter the waterfall attracts ice climbers. According to the park website, its sound can be heard through the forest from a distance. According to Lonely Planet, a road leads past a chapel and through woods; it is about a 10-minute walk from the end of the valley road to the foot of the falls, and the climb to the top takes around 20 minutes, which is not very hard but can be slippery. For parking and path conditions, ask the tourist information office in the Logar Valley in advance, especially in winter and after heavy rain.
