Overview
A nature reserve just past Podkoren where cold, clear springs rise through lake chalk to form an emerald-green lake, the second source of the Sava Dolinka. A wooden footbridge crosses the marsh without harming it, and an observation tower by the lake looks across to the Ponce peaks. The water stays around 6 °C and does not freeze in winter.
