Logaščica
Logaščica Creek is a stream that flows across the Logatec Karst Field and collects water from the western dolomite area of the karst field. Logaščica Creek starts at the confluence of Reka Creek and Black Creek () in Gorenji Logatec and it sinks into the walled Jačka Sinkhole.Breg Valjavec, Mateja. 2013. ''Nekdanja odlagališča odpadkov v vrtačah in gramoznicah'' (= ''Geografija Slovenije'' 26). Ljubljana: SAZU, p. 37. The stream often floods. After it flows into the ground, it joins water from the Planina Karst Field () and drains below the Logatec Karst Field towards Močilnik Springs and other sources of the Ljubljanica in Vrhnika Vrhnika (; ;''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906.

Logatec Karst Field
The Logatec Karst Field or Logatec Polje (; ) is a karst field near Logatec in southwestern Slovenia (the traditional region of Inner Carniola). Geographically, it corresponds to the floor of the Logatec Basin ().Oblak-Polajnar, Majda. 1959Logaška kotlina kot geografska individualnost ''Geografski vestnik'' 31: 19–44. It lies at an elevation between and Mihevc, Pavle. 1992. Logaško polje. ''Enciklopedija Slovenije'', vol. 6, p. 312. Ljubljana: Mladinska knjiga. and encompasses about of mostly grassy terrain. Logaščica Creek, a losing stream, runs across the karst field and collects ambient water. The karst field often flooded in the past, and so land improvement was carried out. The northern part of the Logatec Karst Field is called the Empty Karst Field () and the main road from Logatec to Vrhnika runs across it, passing through the linden-lined section known as the Napoleon Avenue (). The southern part of the karst field is known as the Lower Logatec Karst Field (), or me ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Logatec
Logatec (; , ) is a town in Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Logatec. It is located roughly in the centre of Inner Carniola, between the capital Ljubljana and Postojna. The town of Logatec has seen rapid industrial development and immigration since the completion of the nearby A1 motorway to the coast. Name The name ''Logatec'' is of Celtic origin, probably derived from Celtic ''*longatis'' 'ferryman, boatman', from the Proto-Celtic word ''*longā'' 'ship', thus meaning 'ferrymen's settlement'. The name became ''Longaticum'' in Latin, which was borrowed into Slavic as ''*Lǫgatьcь''. Early attestations of the Slavic name include ''Logach'' in 1265 (and ''Logatzc'' in 1296, ''Logatsch'' in 1307, ''Logacz'' in 1319, and ''de Logas'' in 1354). History The earliest mentions of the settlement are from Roman times (Roman way station ''Mansio Longatico''). The vicinity of trade routes between the interior and the coast has always played an important part in the region. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Losing Stream
A losing stream, disappearing stream, influent stream or sinking river is a stream or river that loses water as it flows downstream. The water infiltrates into the ground recharging the local groundwater, because the water table is below the bottom of the stream channel. This is the opposite of a more common ''gaining stream'' (or ''effluent stream'') which increases in water volume farther downstream as it gains water from the local aquifer. Losing streams are common in arid areas due to the climate which results in huge amounts of water evaporating from the river generally towards the mouth. Losing streams are also common in regions of karst topography where the streamwater may be completely captured by a cavern system, becoming a subterranean river. Examples There are many natural examples of subterranean rivers including: Bosnia and Herzegovina * Unac; Mušnica- Trebišnjica- Krupa/ Ombla (Trebišnjica is considered to be one of the largest sinking rivers in the worl ...

Močilnik Springs
Močilnik Springs is the best-known source of the Ljubljanica, Ljubljanica River. Name The name ''Močilnik'' is derived from the Slovene common noun ''močilnik'' '(hidden) Spring (hydrology), spring', synonymous with the related word ''močilo'', both derived from the Slavic root ''*mak-'' 'wet, damp'. Geography The springs are located at the end of the Močilnik Valley, a steephead valley 180 m long near Vrhnika. Big Močilnik Spring () is found in a pond below the cliffs, and Little Močilnik Spring (), with a smaller flow, lies 50 m further north. They join together to form the Little Ljubljanica River (), which joins the Big Ljubljanica River () after about 1 km, forming the Ljubljanica. The water that surfaces at Močilnik Springs seeps into the ground at the Planina Karst Field and Logatec Karst Field. Not far from Močilnik Springs is Furlan Hot Springs (). It has a constant temperature of about 20 °C.Melik, Anton. 1959. ''Slovenija: Geografski Opis,'' vol. 2, par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
