The Sava has two main sources, both in the north-western, Alpine region of Slovenia. The spring of Sava Dolinka is in Zelenci near Kranjska Gora. The other leg of the river originates as Savica ("little Sava") and then flows into Lake Bohinj, which it leaves as Sava Bohinjka. "Krst pri Savici" is a heroic epic poem written by the most influential Slovenian poet France Pre?eren. Both legs of meet at Radovljica, and the river is known as the Sava past that point. The Sava flows through the Sava valley.
