Where the river is born
Zelenci is a nature reserve which is known by a ground springs of Sava Dolinka River (Sava River has two source branches: Sava Bohinjka and Sava Dolinka). The majority of water flows underground from Tamar valley where is the first spring - Nadiza - white waters of Nadiza. Lake of Zelenci has intensive green color (that is how it got its name: zelen = green). Present lake is situated on the edge of a swamp which is a remainder of the greater lake which was created after the last glacial period. In that time torrents from the Karavanke Alps heaped up rubble which made a barrage for the waters flowing from the West - so the lake (Podkorelsko jezero) was accumulated.
Temperature of the lake is constant (5-8 °C) in all seasons.
Sava is the longest river in Slovenia.
