An impressive waterfall with a heart - if you have a bit of imagination. In summer, the small observation hut is open and otherwise the snack bar with regional dishes at the parking lot. All highly recommended. Please do not underestimate the walk here and wear decent shoes!

The Eagle's Nest is a small but spectacular facility right next to the Rinka waterfall, where visitors can rest and refresh themselves with a drink. The terrace offers the most beautiful view of the waterfall (https://www.logarska-dolina.si/slo/nastanitve/ostale-nastanitve/orlovo-gnezdo)

A small bar (coffee, beer, wine, soda, snacks) intricately built into the rock with a beautiful view of the Rinka waterfall. A dream when the weather is nice. The hut was built in 1968.
