Ljubljanica

The Ljubljanica, known in the Middle Ages as Ljubija, is a river in the southern part of the Ljubljana Basin in Slovenia. The capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, is situated on the river. The Ljubljanica rises to the south of the town Vrhnika and outflows in the Sava River about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) downstream from Ljubljana. Its largest affluent is Mali graben. Including the source affluent Mala Ljubljanica, the river is 41 km (25 mi) in length. Mala Ljubljanica confluents with Velika Ljubljanica after 1,300 m (4,300 ft) and the river continues its flow under the name Ljubljanica.
