Savinja

This spring has been proclaimed a natural heritage object, and Rinka Falls is one of the most beautiful and best-known waterfalls in Slovenia.The main tributaries of the Savinja are the Jušef and the Klobaša at Solčava, the Lučnica at Luče, the Ljubnica at Ljubno, the Dreta at Nazarje, the Paka at Šmartno ob Paki, and the Ložnica and Voglajna with the Hudinja at Celje.[3] The German name Sann was also used in some older English sources; for example, in the ninth edition of Encyclopædia Britannica from 1911.Some other names for the river include: The Celtic goddess Adsaluta, whose altars were found in the area of the settlement of Sava, was long identified with the Savinja.In their memory, a bronze sculpture of a raftsman (Splavar), created in 1961 by Boris Kalin, stands on the river's left bank in Celje.
