Retovje Springs is a group of springs that join to form the Big Ljubljanica River ({{lang-sl|Velika Ljubljanica}}).

Name

The name Retovje and names like it (e.g., Retje, Dolnje Retje) are derived from the Slovene common noun retje 'powerful karst spring' from the root *vrětje 'springing, gushing'.[1][2] The generic term okence in the Slovene name of two springs at the site is a diminutive of the common noun okno (literally, 'window') in the secondary meaning 'spring, place where groundwater surfaces'.[2][3]

Geography

The springs are located in the Retovje Valley, a steephead valley near Verd south of Vrhnika. The springs include:

  • Walnut Spring ({{lang|sl|Pod Orehom}})
  • Cliff Spring ({{lang|sl|Pod skalo}}, {{lang|sl|Pod steno}})
  • Big Spring ({{lang|sl|Veliko okence}})
  • Little Spring ({{lang|sl|Malo okence}})

Big Spring and Little Spring are the two most powerful springs in the group. After almost 1 km, the Big Ljubljanica joins the Little Ljubljanica ({{lang-sl|Mala Ljubljanica}}) to form the Ljubljanica River.

Exploration

The karst springs and sumps at Retovje were first studied in 1939 by the Kuščer brothers.[4] Big Spring has been explored to a length of 270 m and a depth of 25 m, and Little Spring to a length of 305 m and depth of 45 m.[4]
