Idrijca
The Juridical is a river flowing through the Idrija Hills and Cerkno Hills. It is long. It rises near Vojsko, flows towards northeast and after passing through Idrija turns to the northwest. After passing through Spodnja Idrija and Cerkno it joins the Soča in Most na Soči. It has a pluvio-nival regime and belongs to the Adriatic Sea Basin. The river basin has an area of . The major tributaries are the Belch, Gala, Copernican, and Baa from the right and the Nikolai, Canonical, and Trebušica from the left. One of the right tributaries is also the Jezernica River, which originates from the Wild Lake ( sl, Divje jezekfv). Being only 55 m long, the Jezernica is the shortest river in Slovenia. The river has many fish, among which the ''Salmo marmoratus'', the rainbow trout, and the Grayling are noteworthy. In the past, timber was driven down the Idrijca to Idrija to be used as pillars in the Idrija mercury mine. Special logging sluices (Sln. ''klavže'') were employed for this ...

Slovenia
Slovenia ( ; sl, Slovenija ), officially the Republic of Slovenia (Slovene: , abbr.: ''RS''), is a country in Central Europe. It is bordered by Italy to the west, Austria to the north, Hungary to the northeast, Croatia to the southeast, and the Adriatic Sea to the southwest. Slovenia is mostly mountainous and forested, covers , and has a population of 2.1 million (2,108,708 people). Slovenes constitute over 80% of the country's population. Slovene, a South Slavic language, is the official language. Slovenia has a predominantly temperate continental climate, with the exception of the Slovene Littoral and the Julian Alps. A sub-mediterranean climate reaches to the northern extensions of the Dinaric Alps that traverse the country in a northwest–southeast direction. The Julian Alps in the northwest have an alpine climate. Toward the northeastern Pannonian Basin, a continental climate is more pronounced. Ljubljana, the capital and largest city of Slovenia, is geogr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bača Pri Podbrdu
Bača pri Podbrdu () is a dispersed settlement above Podbrdo in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It lies on the southern slopes of Mount Kobla and is a popular starting point for hiking trips into the surrounding peaks of the southern Julian Alps. The local church is dedicated to Saint Leonard and belongs to the Parish A parish is a territorial entity in many Christian denominations, constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a priest, often termed a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or m ... of Podbrdo. Name The name of the settlement was changed from ''Bača'' to ''Bača pri Podbrdu'' (literally, 'Bača near Podbrdo') in 1955, distinguishing it from nearby Bača pri Modreju. The settlement was attested as ''Binchinvel'' in 1377. The origin of the name ''Bača'' is uncertain; it may be derived from the Slavic root *''bač-'', referring to a wet or damp place, or, less like ...

Bača Pri Modreju
Bača pri Modreju ( or ; in older sources also ''Bača pri Modreji'') is a village in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It lies at the confluence of the Bača River with the Idrijca River, which in turn joins the Soča River at Most na Soči, northwest of the settlement. The village includes the hamlets of Grapa, Stopec, and Sopotnica. Name The name ''Bača pri Modreju'' literally means 'Bača near Modrej', distinguishing the village from the settlement of Bača pri Podbrdu (literally, 'Bača near Podbrdo') in the same municipality. Both settlements are named after the Bača River. History In 1888 the archaeologists Carlo de Marchesetti and Josef Szombathy discovered 23 urn graves with objects from the Hallstatt culture in Bača pri Modreju. The finds are kept at the museums in Vienna and Trieste. During the Middle Ages, the counts of Tolmin had a toll house in the village. There are two abandoned sawmills along the Bača River in the settlement; ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pluvio-nival Regime
The river regime generally describes the character of the typical fluctuations of flow of a river, but can also refer to the mathematical relationship between the river discharge and its width, depth and slope. Thus, "river regime" can describe one of two characteristics of a reach of an alluvial river: * The variability in its discharge throughout the course of a year in response to precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration and drainage basin characteristics (Beckinsale, 1969) * A series of characteristic power-law relationships between discharge and width, depth and slope The latter is described by the fact that the discharge through a river of an approximate rectangular cross-section must, through conservation of mass, equal :Q = \bar b h where Q is the volumetric discharge, \bar is the mean flow velocity, b is the channel width (breadth) and h is the channel depth. Because of this relationship, as discharge increases, depth, width, and/or mean velocity must increase as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Adriatic Sea
The Adriatic Sea () is a body of water separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan Peninsula. The Adriatic is the northernmost arm of the Mediterranean Sea, extending from the Strait of Otranto (where it connects to the Ionian Sea) to the northwest and the Po Valley. The countries with coasts on the Adriatic are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, and Slovenia. The Adriatic contains more than 1,300 islands, mostly located along the Croatian part of its eastern coast. It is divided into three basins, the northern being the shallowest and the southern being the deepest, with a maximum depth of . The Otranto Sill, an underwater ridge, is located at the border between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. The prevailing currents flow counterclockwise from the Strait of Otranto, along the eastern coast and back to the strait along the western (Italian) coast. Tidal movements in the Adriatic are slight, although larger amplitudes are known to occur occasi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Municipality Of Tolmin
The Municipality of Tolmin (; sl, Občina Tolmin) is a municipalities of Slovenia, municipality in northwestern Slovenia. Its seat and largest settlement is Tolmin. History In ancient times the area was inhabited by the Illyrians and then by the Ancient Rome, Romans. In the 6th century the Slavs, ancestors of present-day Slovenes, settled the area. Until 1420 it belonged to the Patriarchate of Aquileia (State), Patriarchate of Aquileia, when it was acquired by the Republic of Venice. In 1514 it became a possession of the Habsburgs, who gave it as fief to the Coronini-Cronberg family. Medieval documents testify to a long series of uprisings, culminating in the Tolmin peasant revolt of 1713. That particular insurgence spread from Tolmin County to the Vipava Valley, Karst Plateau, Karst, and Brda (Slovenia), Brda, and further on to northern Istria. The uprising was mercilessly crushed by the Holy Roman Emperors, imperial army and its eleven leaders were beheaded. In the 16th centu ...
