Zelenci, Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
Zelenci Nature Reserve is one of the most beautiful and recognisable natural attractions near Kranjska Gora in the Julian Alps. Famous for its emerald-green water, wooden footbridges and peaceful wetland landscape, Zelenci marks the source of the Sava Dolinka River, one of the headwaters of the Sava River. The water rises from underground springs through the sandy lakebed, creating small bubbling movements that make the lake feel alive. Because of its rare natural features, Zelenci is protected as a nature reserve and is also part of the Natura 2000 network, making it an important habitat for wetland plants, birds, insects and other wildlife.
