Savinja, Alpine river in Upper Savinja Valley, Slovenia.
The Savinja River extends for 102 kilometers through northeastern Slovenia, flowing from Rinka Falls through rocky terrain to merge with Sava River.
Ancient Celtic people constructed altars dedicated to goddess Adsaluta near the Savinja River, as evidenced by archaeological discoveries in the region.
A bronze sculpture named Splavar stands on the riverbank in Celje, commemorating the traditional log drivers who navigated these waters until the 1950s.
The river offers locations for kayaking, rafting, and fishing activities, with certified sports agencies providing guided tours and necessary equipment.
The river disappears into limestone after its origin at Rinka Falls before resurging at Črna Spring, which gives the watercourse its current name.
