About Lahinja

Lahinja is a river. Location: Slovenia.

From Wikipedia

The Lahinja is a river in White Carniola, the extreme southeastern part of Slovenia. It is 34 kilometres (21 mi) long and originates from several karst springs at the end of a steephead valley between the villages of Knežina, Belčji Vrh, and Mali Nerajec. In its upper course the river flows towards the north in a narrow bed with a very shallow gradient, resulting in significant meandering. All of its major affluents join it from the west and all of them start from karst springs.
