Along the way in Logar valley, Woodcutters (forestry) hut is standing and next to it, there are wooden slides for harvesting timber. Nearby we can find lumpy autumn trees. In the hut we can feel warmth of pleasant, cracking fire, burning in an open fireplace and we can give ourselves in to the stories, which were written by hard life of forest workers.
Foresters working day, in remote forests, has begun every day with a crack of dawn. Hard work with an ax and hand saw, sleeping on a bunk from eagle ferms or leaves and poor food was constantly present for forest workers in logging and wood harvesting. Timber was from remote forests in winter brought to the valley by wooden slides. In spring, when melting snow was maintaining high water levels for longer period of time, they floated it to sawmills in river Savinja. Sawn timber was connected into rafts (flos) ans taken down the river.
