The Sava Bohinjka originates under the [[Komarča|Komarča Crag]] at an elevation of {{convert|805|m|abbr=on}}, from springs fed by the [[Triglav Lakes Valley]]. Until it reaches [[Lake Bohinj]], the river is known as the Savica ('little Sava'), and features the {{convert|60|m|adj=on|abbr=on}}-high [[Savica (waterfall)|Savica Falls]] ({{langx|sl|slap Savica}}) at its source.<ref>Baedeker, Karl (1879) "Terglou: The Valley of the Wocheiner Save" ''The Eastern Alps: Including the Bavarian Highlands, the Tyrol, Salzkammergut, Styria, and Carinthia'' (4th ed.) Dulau and Co., London, [https://books.google.com/books?id=a4IDAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA353 p. 353], {{OCLC|4018143}}</ref> It then flows through the Ukanc Gorge, where the 3 [[megawatt|MW]] Savica power plant is located, before flowing into [[Lake Bohinj]], where it creates a small [[river delta|delta]]. It flows from Lake Bohinj as the Sava Bohinjka through [[Bohinjska Bistrica]], [[Bohinjska Bela]], and close to [[Lake Bled]], before meeting the Sava Dolinka near Radovljica.
