Sava Bohinjka
The Sava Bohinjka is a headwater of the Sava River in northwestern Slovenia. At 41 kilometres (25 mi) in length,[1] it is the shorter of the two headwaters that become the Sava River in the town of Radovljica, the other being the 45 km (28 mi)-long Sava Dolinka.
Course
The Sava Bohinjka originates under the Komarča Crag at an elevation of 805 m (2,641 ft), from springs fed by the Triglav Lakes Valley. Until it reaches Lake Bohinj, the river is known as the Savica ('little Sava'), and features the 60 m (200 ft)-high Savica Falls (Slovene: slap Savica) at its source.[2] It then flows through the Ukanc Gorge, where the 3 MW Savica power plant is located, before flowing into Lake Bohinj, where it creates a small delta. It flows from Lake Bohinj as the Sava Bohinjka through Bohinjska Bistrica, Bohinjska Bela, and close to Lake Bled, before meeting the Sava Dolinka near Radovljica.
