Pivka river<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>- <\/i><\/span>\n
The Pivka river originates in the karst basin of Piv\u0161\u010de near Zagorje, which contains several karst springs, the most important of which is the Piv\u0161\u010de karst spring. This spring has a walled shaft that served as a local source of drinking water until the construction of a water supply system from the Malni pumping station.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>The term pivka refers to a sinkhole that drinks water, a small lake that drains slowly, or hayfields near Zagorje where the ground drinks water and the riverbed runs.<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>When there is a lot of water, we can see the Pivka river slowly meandering through the landscape; otherwise, its bed is dry. It created the world-famous Postojna Cave.<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>After 26 kilometres, the river Pivka sinks into the Postojna Cave, one of Slovenia’s longest cave systems and our most visited tourist cave.<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>Surface waters, as well as groundwater, flow from Upper Pivka into two seas: the Pivka river into the Black Sea and the Reka river into the Adriatic Sea.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>

Pal\u0161ko jezero Lake is the largest of all Pivka lakes. When the lake is full, there is enough space for 300 football fields. In terms of medium water level, Pal\u0161ko jezero lake is comparable to lake Bled, and measures nearly twice as much in extremely large lakes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

Petelinjsko jezero lake appears for the longest time. The water can stay in it for up to 9 months, as evidenced by the appearance of two extremely large lakes in 2014.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>\n
Because the Pivka intermittent lakes frequently dry up, there are no fish. The Karst fairy shrimp (Chirocephalus croaticus), a small crayfish, lives in two of the lakes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
