A glacier made valley sometimes dubbed the "green valley", situated between the Karawanks in the North and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps in the South and West and is part of the Pohorje-Savinjska region. Formerly part of Styria, now it belongs to Slovenia's Savinja statistical region. The 2- to 3-hr-long walk through the valley is not too exhausting - quite the opposite, the surrounding nature is very relaxing. The path is asphalted, which makes the accessibility with children or bikes easy.
