    This branch was formed on very different rocks.
   
    It sprins at 1280 m high above sea level on reddish flat limestone and marl with chert poles and nodules, from where it flows onto the hard marl, both of Cretaceous age. It then crosses an older, conglomerate glacial cemetery from the Ice Ages, which is very young compared to other rocks. From the cemetery or moraine it flows again onto the marl, and from there onto the oldest Bača dolomite. From there it falls into Brinta again onto the same rock as at the source, the Cretaceous flat limestone and marl.
This branch has the least water, and during droughts the flow is very low. The otherwise mighty Waterfall in the Brinta does not even reach its base, as little water is dispersed in the wind.
    This one also cuts into evorsion channels with several waterfalls below the Vrsno-Krn road.

There is extremely little water, it disperses and does not fall at the base of the waterfall,
