Waterfall
The Borovniščica is a stream that originates in the hills west of Gorenje Otave and flows to the north through Hell Gorge, creating a series of waterfalls, and then through the village of Borovnica. It then flows across the Ljubljana Marsh, where it joins the Ljubljanica River as a right tributary. The upper course of the creek separates the Rakitna Plateau from the Logatec Plateau. Although mean annual discharge has dropped by over 50% since 1961 and peak flows by about 18%, a near-doubling of discharge variability means the Borovniščica remains prone to sudden flash floods within Hell Gorge.
