You can reach it by car before continuing on foot. The trail leads to Okrešelj (1,396 m) after a continuous ascent. It is possible to quench your thirst at the Slap Rinka Hostel at the foot of the waterfall until 10pm. The source of the Savinja River is located about 20 minutes upstream from the Rinka waterfall.

The final part continues through the woods. 15 minutes from the first source of the Savinja River, a panoramic relaxation break at the Frischaufov dom na Okrešlju hut at 1,378 m. It took an hour's good mountain walk to get there. The place is packed on the weekends. Meals are then taken from the backpack. As for the house, it offers hearty little dishes. The bravest ones continue towards Kamniško sedlo at 1,864 m. Count an hour and a half of climbing in addition. Laces first and a steep passage towards the end with a handrail. After the Rinka waterfall falls, the water disappears and then resurfaces, mixed with the water from the spring Črna, near the Kranija farm. When the rains are heavy, the waters of the waterfall remain on the surface and adopt a new name: Kotovec. La Savinja is truly born at the end of the Logar Valley. The Črna joins the Jezera, flowing from the Matkov Kot valley. From now on, the waters begin their course under the name of Savinja.
