Baška grapa is a 30-km long valley of the Bača River situated between Petrovo Brdo and the Idrijca River, which is carved deeply between the peaks of the Alpine edge. A peculiar part of the history of Baška grapa was the arrival of Tirolese immigrants to villages (Rut and Stržišče) below the mountain ridges of Rodica and Črna prst in the beginning of the 13th century.
In Baška grapa we come across a variety of significant sacral monuments. The unique and distinctive architectural and historic monument of the valley is a railway line, which was constructed in 1906.

The peaks above Baška grapa are a paradise for botanists and other lovers of mountain flora. Exceptionally diverse and luxurious vegetation flourishes here at the juncture of the Alpine and Mediterranean climates. Particularly famous is the lime tree in Rut, with a trunk some eight meters in circumference, which has been pronounced the widest tree in the country.

Mountain villages above the canyon (Logaršče, Rut, Stržišče, and Zakojca) are all delightful, tiny villages “sunbathing” on terraces high above the valley, which offer stunning, panoramic views.

A tended pathway leads to the impressive 66-meter high waterfall Sopota above Podmelec.
