Hiking Highlight
Potočka zijalka (1700 m) is an important cave site that was visited by Ice Age hunters 30,000 years ago. This is evidenced by numerous excavations which are on display in the permanent collection of the Firšt guest house museum in Logarska dolina. The cave measures 115 m in length and is 40 m wide in the middle and reaches a height of 4 to 10 m. From the starting point - parking lot under the church of St. Duha in Podolševa takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes of easy walking along a marked mountain path that leads to the top of Olševa.

If you haven't had enough of geological natural wonders after visiting the cave, you can hike around the mountain to the rock gates on the Austrian side. Walking time about 30 minutes to the Great Rock Gate. About the last 50 m are secured with a wire rope. Maybe take a via ferrata set with you if you have problems with exposed passages. Surefootedness is absolutely necessary.
If you then want to get to the other two rock gates, you have to manage further secured passages. We were content with the large (upper) gate, which was an absolute highlight in itself.
