THE CRYSTAL PURITY OF MOUNTAIN WATERS IN SLOVENIA

The Julian Alps are the first mountain barrier separating the Mediterranean Sea from continental Central Europe.As a result,there is no lack of rain and snow in this region and water can be found in all its forms.Visible from the road near Bovec, the Boka waterfall gushes directly from a high cliff,spilling up to 100 cubic meters of water per second that falls for 106 meters.There are another 260 larger and smaller waterfalls of various shapes and sizes in the Slovene Alps.Our highest is the 130 meter Cedca waterfall in the mountains above Jezersko.All of this water carves its way into unimaginably narrow,dark and deep limestone canyons such as Tolminska Korita near Tolmin,Mlinarica beside the road over the Vršic mountain pass,Vintgar near Bled(see my travalogue "Vintgar gorge"),Mostnice near Lake Bohinj,and the Kamniška Bistrica valley.
