Lake water is restored three times per year. The main tributary is the Savica, and the main distributary is the Sava Bohinjka. More than a third of the water flows into the lake from the Karst springs under the lake surface along the northern shore. During heavy rainfall, the Karst waters gush out as the Govic spring on the Pršivec hillside.
Public transport
Villiage Ribčev Laz where the lake is situated, is accessible by regular bus lines.- More info. on bus timetable: Alpetour agency (exit station: Ribčev Laz)
