harmony of three valleys
The Solčava region is made up of the village of Solčava and the village of Podolševa, as well as three parallel Alpine valleys that have been transformed by glaciers and are among the most beautiful in the entire Alpine region. These are the most recognisable and most often depicted Logar Valley and the slightly less known, but no less exceptional and unique, Robanov kot and Matkov kot valleys. The Logarska dolina and Robanov kot are specially protected and declared a landscape park due to their exceptional nature, and together with Natura 2000, the protected nature area accounts for 80% of the area of the Solčavska region.
