The Ljubljanica River... Ljubljana, Slovenia...
The Ljubljanica River, known as Sava in medieval times, is a river located in the southern part of the Ljubljana Basin in Slovenia. The capital city of Slovenia, Ljubljana, is situated along this river. The Ljubljanica River starts south of the village of Vrhnika and flows into the Sava River about 10 km downstream from Ljubljana. The area with the most water is the Mali Graben Canal. Including the water-rich Little Ljubljanica, the river's length is about 41 km. After passing 1,300 meters of the Little Ljubljanica, it merges with the Big Ljubljanica and continues to flow. The Ljubljanica is a river with seven names, as it is a continuation of several karst rivers that flow on the surface and underground caves in the Prezid Karst area, reaching Vrhnika.
