1. Reka s sedmini imeni / The River with seven names

... flows through southern part of Ljubljana basin. It wells near Vrhnika, crosses Ljubljana moors, flows through Slovenian capital Ljubljana and into the river Sava, northeast of Ljubljana. It is supplied from many karstic underground streams. Its slow course from sources to confluence with river Sava, is only 41km long. But its river basin extends over 1779 square km, of which 1100 square km is karst. Ljubljanica karstic hinterland collects waters from higher valleys, karst poljes and plateaus interconnected with underground streams. Some of the streams can be seen in the water caves Golobina, Krizna, Karlovica, Zelska, Tkalca, Planina, Postojna, Predjama, Logarcek, Gradisnica and Najdena. Since the complete water course includes rivers wearing different names, it has been poetically named THE RIVER WITH SEVEN NAMES. These are:

1. TRBUHOVICA springs at Prezidsko polje in Croatia. High waters sink at Babno polje.

2. OBRH flows over Loz valley, sinks there and wells at Cerknica polje again.

3. STRZEN sinks at Cerknica polje, where also Cerkniscica flows from north and waters from Bloke plateau are added underground.

4. RAK flows through Rakov Skocjan, it has a confluence with river Pivka in Planina cave.

5. PIVKA flows over Pivka basin, through Postojna cave, it has confluence with river Rak in Planina cave.

6. UNICA is formed in Planina cave by confluence of rivers Pivka and Rak. It flows over Planinsko polje.

7. LJUBLJANICA wells near Vrhnika and flows into the river Sava near village Podgrad.

... teče po južnem delu Ljubljanske kotline. Izvira v blizini Vrhnike, preci Ljubljansko barje, tece skozi mesto Ljubljana in se pri naselju Podgrad kot desni pritok izliva v reko Savo. Ljubljanica se napaja iz stevilnih kraskih ponikalnih voda v zaledju. Njen pocasni povrsinski tok od izvirov v blizini Vrhnike do izliva v Savo je dolg le 41 km. Vendar njeno celotno porecje do izliva v Savo obsega kar 1779 km2, od tega je kar 1100 km2 porecja kraskega. Krasko zaledje izvirov Ljubljanice zajema vode visje lezecih podolij in planot, ki so povezane s ponikalnicami. Nekatere izmed njih so vidne tudi v vodnih jamah Golobina, Krizna jama, Karlovica, Zelske jame, Tkalca jama, Planinska jama, Postojnska jama, Predjama, Logarcek, Gradisnica in Najdena jama. Ker vodna pot obsega vecje stevilo poimensko razlicnih rek, je Ljubljanica pogosto poeticno poimenovana kot REKA SEDMIH IMEN. Ta so:

1. TRBUHOVICA izvira na Prezidskem polju na Hrvaskem, ob visokem vodostaju pa ponikne na Babnem polju.

2. OBRH tece po Loski dolini, kjer ponikne in se ponovno pojavi na Cerkniskem polju.

3. STRZEN ponikne na Cerkniskem polju, kamor se s severne strani steka se Cerkniscica, podzemno pa vode z Bloske planote.

4. RAK tece po Rakovem Škocjanu, v Planinski jami se zdruzi z reko Pivko.

5. PIVKA tece po Pivski kotlini, skozi Postojnsko jamo, v Planinski jami se zdruzi z reko Rak.

6. UNICA v Planinski jami nastane z zdruzitvijo reke Pivke in Raka; tece po Planinskem polju.

7. LJUBLJANICA izvira v okolici Vrhnike, v reko Savo se izliva pri kraju Podgrad.
