In the Volarnk basin is confusion about the names of water phenomena.
Everyone who wrote about them named the phenomena in their own way, nobody asked the inhabitants.
That names are not
weighty. One could not name water phenomena with the names
of rocks, slopes and other phenomena in the neighbourhood.
of the water.
The result are two different phenomena with the same name
nearly at the same place and confusion is here.
The maps have artificial names.
I asked the inhabitants, but it was difficult to find those who still knew the names.
Unfortunately, those who knew them have already died.
I combined what I found out with my knowledge and named phenomena in this page and others about Volarnk.
Inhabitants of the Krn village call the left branch
Mrzlica
(the cold water), the othes were named after two
considerable waterfalls:
- The Branch of Simon's Waterfall and
(Wrong name the Gregorčič waterfall in the literature. There
are many familly names Gregorčič, but there is no lack of
name Simon in the villages around the waterfall.
Inhabitants named the waterfall after Slovene poet Simon
Gregorčič, who was born in the Krn village. Name the Simonov
slap (the waterfall of Simon) has more personal and
emotional significance then after the familly name).
- The Branch of Waterfall in Brinta
(The Brinta waterfall in unconvinient name in the
literature. Autors named the waterfall upon geomorphological
feature an open rock kettle, called in Slovene Brinta. Right
name is the Waterfall in Brinta).
