Slovenia

Slovenia is a country in Central Europe touching the Alps and bordering the Mediterranean. Slovenia borders Italy on the west, the Adriatic Sea on the southwest, Croatia on the south and east, Hungary on the northeast, and Austria on the north. The capital and largest city of Slovenia is Ljubljana.

The Sava Bohinjka is a headwater of the Sava River in northwestern Slovenia.

At 31 kilometers in length, it is the shorter of the two headwaters that becomes the Sava River in Radovljica, the other being the 45-kilometer-long Sava Dolinka. The Sava Bohinjka originates under the Komarča Ridge at an elevation of 805 m, 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-meter-high Savica Falls (Sln. Slap Savica) at its source. 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.

Vogel leži na jugovzhodnem delu Julijskih Alp in je visokogorsko smučišče v območju Triglavskega narodnega parka. Sodobna gondolska žičnica pripelje obiskovalce na nadmorsko višino 1537 m, kjer je razgled na Bohinjsko kotlino.
