Waterfall Savica is one of the most famous and popular waterfalls
in Slovenia and it is also a spring . The great poet France Prešernen enternized
this waterfall in a poem "Krst pri Savici" - and some other cheerfull poems...
Official height is 78 m...about 240 feet, but in a rainly days its
spring gets water from the slope of Komarca (you can see it on the right
picture...).
This waterfall is really something special: water sink 500 m above
in the mountains and come through the vertical underground channels to
the horizontal tunnel and from it as a top of the 78 high waterfall, one
part of the water sink in a tunnell again and come out as a 25 m high waterfall
- left part of the Savica waterfall. Waterfall leftside
from Savica.
Access: from Bohinj lake - one
hour of walk, or from "Savica hut" - only 15 min. "upstairs".
