About this audio guide
This guide to Savica Waterfall above Lake Bohinj, near Lake Bled, follows the water you see before it ever reaches daylight, from the high Triglav Lakes Valley down through the limestone of the Julian Alps. It also brings in Archduke John of Austria, the Habsburg prince who came here in eighteen oh seven asking where the Sava River begins. Best heard at the viewing platform, facing the cliff.
