On the way to border crossing Učja
on the right side of the river Učja and the canyon with the same name,
after the second sharp curve (1 km from the village Žaga), we can see a
ravine sweeping between Skutnik (1720) and Mala Baba (1977). In autumn
and spring, the whiteness of water falling in waterfalls towards the river
Učja can be seen. In summer, rich greenness covers the view to the beautiful
system of waterfalls and only the highest ones whiten under the greenness.
A really beautiful combination of white falling water over reddish rocky
mass and rich greenness. A look to a special map tells us that water which
creates these beautiful waterfalls is called stream Brčin. Domestic people
don't know this name. They know only the highest, multi level composed
waterfall (60 m) calling it Sapet (also general name for waterfall). One
of the local people told, that the entire system of waterfalls was called
Globišča. He has never heard of the name Brčin. According to approximate
evaluation, individual (permanent) waterfalls are from 5 m to 60 m high.
We could say that, during strong rain, they create one single, multi level
waterfall being from 300 to 400 m high. The biggest waterfall Sapet is
very interesting as water falls in two, bigger levels from the first level
into the rock indent where there is (it is supposed that the water does
not reflect but pours down in bucketfuls) a deep pool and afterwards flows
on the even reddish wall as second level. This waterfall is unfortunately
rather unknown although according to its height and flow of water, it does
not lag behind Spodnji Peričnik.
