We continue our route to Mozirje, Nazarje, Rečica, Ljubno, Luče, the villages next to vivid Savinja River. In the gorge of Igla we took 15 minutes for our camera. Igla natural monument looks like a door to to the highlands of Savinja Valley. The Savinja River has dug a narrow gorge along the tectonic joint between Luče and Solčava. The waters have curved a 40 metre tall rocky column - Igla (the needle). There is also an interesting spring (Intermittent spring) with periodic activity. These two sights are said to be the oldest natural monuments in Slovenia.
The road from Solčava to the Pavličevo sedlo Pass was scenic. We passed Landscape Parks Robanov kot and famous Logar Valley that is said to be one of the most beautiful Alpine Valleys in Europe. On the Pavličevo sedlo Pass we entered Austria and drove to Jezersko (Slovenia). Jezersko offers exceptional views on the surrounding mountains and "relaxing" cornes next to Lake Planšar (Planšarsko jezero).
We descended to Gorenjska Region from where we turn our way back to Savinja and Šalek Valley. On the way back we passed Črnivec Pass and stopped in Gornji Grad, the village that could be proud on its mighty church, which is the largest and architecturally the most important baroque building in Slovenia. We drove back home to Velenje through Nazarje.
