History
The Oplotniščica (or Oplotnica) is a 28 km river in northeastern Slovenia. Rising on the southern flank of the Pohorje massif near the winter sports centre of Rogla, it flows southeast through the settlements of Osankarica, Oplotnica, and Tepanje before joining the Dravinja just northwest of Žiče. Despite draining a catchment of barely 52 km2, the watercourse once powered dozens of sawmills and grain mills, and it continues to host a string of small (< 1.4 MW) hydroelectric plants.
