River Twins: Poljanska Sora & Selška Sora

Poljanska Sora

(also Poljanščica) is the right tributary of the river Sora, which merges with Selška Sora in Škofja Loka. It originates as an insignificant stream in the northern part of the Rovtar hills, flows first to the west, then turns north, flows past the settlement of Žiri and then along a narrow section of Poljanska valley to Gorenja vas, where it enters the wider part of the valley. From there it flows northeast all the way to the confluence with Selška Sora in Škofja Loka at Spodnji trg.

Selška Sora

(also Selščica) is the left tributary of the river Sora, which merges with Poljanska Sora in Škofja Loka. It originates above the village of Zgornja Sorica just below the road towards Petrovo Brdo, flows through the village towards the south and southeast to the confluence with the Last Sora, and from there mostly towards the east past Zali Log and through Železniki. Below the town, the valley widens and turns to the southeast; in Bukovica the river enters the gorge between Lubnik and Križna gora, flows past Stara Loka, and merges with Poljanska Sora to form river Sora in Škofja Loka.

Both rivers are safe to dip in at any location. Enjoy!
