''Časopis za zgodovino in narodopisje'' 33(3/4): 191–201, p. 197.) is a valley in the Kamnik Alps, in the Municipality of Solčava, Slovenia. The Slovene name for the valley is of relatively recent coinage and is derived from the Logar Farm, which in turn is derived from ''log'' (literally, 'swampy meadow'). In 1987, the valley received protected status as a Landscape Park (protected area), landscape park encompassing . Geography The Logar Valley is a typical U-shaped glacial valley. It is divided into three parts. The lower part is named ''Log'', the middle part ''Plest'' or ''Plestje'' (it is a mostly wooded area), and the upper part ''Kot'' (literally 'cirque') or ''Ogradec'' (it is a wooded area with scree slopes). Altogether 35 people live on the isolated farmsteads in the valley. Peaks The Logar Valley is ringed by the following peaks: Strelovec (), Krofička () ...

Mountain
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least above the surrounding land. A few mountains are inselberg, isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. mountain formation, Mountains are formed through tectonic plate, tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through Slump (geology), slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce Alpine climate, colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the Montane ecosystems, ecosystems of mountains: different elevations hav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ojstrica () is a mountain in the eastern part of the Kamnik Alps with a pyramid-shaped top that is visible from far away. The name ''Ojstrica'' derives from the Slovene word ''oster'' 'sharp'.

Solčava
Solčava (; German: ''Sulzbach'') is a village in the Upper Savinja Valley in northern Slovenia close to the Austrian border. It is the largest settlement and the seat of the Municipality of Solčava. Traditionally it belonged to the region of Styria and is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region. Name Solčava was attested in written sources as ''Sulçpach'' in 1268 (and as ''Sulzpach'' in 1306 and ''Sulzbach'' in 1491). In the local dialect, the village is called ''Žocpah'', and in the 19th century its Slovene name was recorded as ''Žolcpah'', ''Sušpach'', and ''Solcpah''—all based on the German name. The German name is a compound corresponding to ''Sulze'' 'mineral springs' + ''Bach'' 'creek', referring to the local geography. The modern Slovene name ''Solčava'' was artificially created in the 19th century from the German name; the first half of the name was modified to ''Šolč-'' to appear more Slovene, and the second half was replaced with ''-ava'', a common su ...
