Slovenia is a small country in Central Europe bordering on Italy (W), Austria (N), Hungary (E) and Croatia (S). It is half the size of Switzerland, however, due to its unique position on the crossroad between the East and the West, as well as the North and the South, it has a little bit of everything: sunny Alps in the north, mysterious Karst on the south, lowlands with vineyards in the east and green Mediterranean coast on the west.
Slovenia’s alpine world covers the high mountain world of the Julian Alps (Triglav, 2864 m), the Kamniske-Savinjske Alps (Grintovec, 2558 m), and the Karavanke Mountains (Stol, 2236 m). Our alpine world is composed largely of limestone and dolomite and is distinguished by sheer rocky peaks and sharp conical shapes. Glaciers left their mark on the steep slopes and overhangs in shady positions of the northern slopes. Due to the great solubility of the limestone, the vast high mountain karst plateaus are without streams, and small karst relief forms, deep abysses, and underground caves developed, along with strong karst springs at the foot of the mountains. Snow remains in sinkholes well into spring and because of the barren landscape can be seen from far around. The deep mountain valleys with their fans of limestone gravel and the light green colour of the mountain streams leave a deep impression.
Zelenci is ground springs of Sava Dolinka River, in community Kranjska Gora. Here water springs up from its green lake (that is how it got its name - zelen = green), the lake is two meters deep and the deepest part of the lake is around three meters.
Zelenci is a nature reserve and gives also home to many animals and plants wich are endanger.
