The Ribnica is actually one of the rare few permanent water streams in the Pokljuka area. Not because there wouldn\u2019t be much rainfall, on the contrary, the average annual rainfall here is actually between 1,300 \u2013 1,900 mm with the foothills of Mt. Debela Pe\u010d reaching as much as 3,000 mm! The reason lies in the underground system of long cracks, caves and rivers in this karst high plateau which swallows the water to then feed the Bohinj and Upper Sava Valleys.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49903 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-696x928.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-1068x1424.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-315x420.jpeg 315w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-45x60.jpeg 45w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-68x90.jpeg 68w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica.jpeg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/1024;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-696x928.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-1068x1424.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-315x420.jpeg 315w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-45x60.jpeg 45w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica-68x90.jpeg 68w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pokljuka-julian-alps-hiking-uskovnica.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption><em>Pokljuka \/ Julian alps hiking \/ Uskovnica<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>I crossed the Ribnica stream one more time \u2013 this time on a wooden bridge across a gorge carved by the water.
