Zelenci is a nature reserve which is known by a ground springs of Sava
Dolinka River. (Sava River has two sources branches: Sava Bohinjka and
Sava Dolinka). The majority of water flows underground from Tamar valley
where is the first spring - Nadiza - white waters of Nadiza. Lake of Zelenci
has intensive green color (that is how it got its name - 'zelen = green').
Present lake is situated on the edge of a swamp which is a remainder of
the greater lake which was created after the last glacial period. In that
time torrents from the Karavanke Alps heaped up rubble which made a barrage
for the waters flowing from the West - so the lake (Podkorelsko jezero)
was accumulated.
Temperature of the lake is constant (5~8 °C) in all seasons.
Area of the nature reserve is 14 hectares; the deepest part of the
lake is 3 m.
