Eight kilometres along the ridges above Solčava, highland farm to highland farm, the Logar, Matkov and Robanov valleys laid out below. Steep, narrow and touching 18 percent.

The Solčava Panoramic Road climbs from the Savinja valley onto the ridges above Solčava, passing highland farms with views over the Logar, Matkov and Robanov valleys. This panoramic high road runs some 8 kilometres past lookouts, one highlight of the wider Solčavska cesta network toward the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the Austrian border. Mind the steep narrow farm lanes, gravel sections and sudden mountain weather.
