: Zelenci springs are still covered with snow in late March.
Zelenci Springs is the source of the river Sava near Kranjska Gora in northwestern Slovenia. At Zelenci Springs, water from an underground stream originating in the Planica Valley re-emerges via a two-metre deep green lake. The area gets its name from this brilliant green colour (Zelen means green in Slovene). Zelenci is a nature reserve since 1992 and is home to many endangered animal and plant species.
The lake formed by the springs has a constant temperature of between 5 and 6C all year round. From the lake, the water runs into a 200-metre wide and one-kilometre long marshland. The actual riverbed is not formed until after this at Podkoren, below Vitranc.
