I also took this picture during my wanderings in Kamniška Bistrica.
Although the river is quite cold many visitors enjoy being by the river and “soaking” their feet into the river.
Kamniška Bistrica is the largest Slovenian torrent, which originates at an altitude of 623 m at the southern foot of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.
With the snow-rain regime, Kamniška Bistrica has two periods of high flows (spring and autumn) and two periods of low flows (summer and winter) during the year. Spring waters exceed autumn waters, as in spring they increase further due to the release of water reserves, which have accumulated in the snow cover since late autumn through winter. Rivers with torrential character are considered to be particularly vulnerable, as they represent a unique ecological system.

A lovely time they are having in the river. We did this often growing up.
I also spent a lot of time by the river in my youth.
My last time swimming in a river was nearly 10 years go. It was for a mud run, lol.
I last swam in the river when I was a kid.
that is just amazing i love the view. Swimming in places like that is my favorite thing!
Thank you. I swam many times in my youth in places like this.
when I was a rebellious youth, we used to swim in the quarry holes around Bloomington Indiana. It was against the law and the police often rousted us. but we loved the sheer rock walls and the cold water.
