Big Božna Creek (Slovene: Velika Božna) or simply the Božna,[1] also known as Božja Creek (Božja voda),[2] or Big Creek (Velika voda)[1] is a stream in northwestern Slovenia. It is the left source tributary of the Gradaščica, the right one being Little Creek (Mala voda).[3] It was recorded under the German names Salog bach or Sallog Bach (i.e., Zalog Creek) in the 18th century.[4]

Course

The source of Big Božna Creek is in the Polhov Gradec Hills west of Ljubljana, not far from Kremenik.[5] It forms part of the watershed of the Ljubljanica River. The road from Polhov Gradec to Črni Vrh runs through the Big Božna Valley.[6] The Big Božna is joined by Little Božna Creek (Mala Božna, recorded in German as the Botschnia or Botschnia bach in the 18th century[7]) about 2 km north-northwest of Polhov Gradec, and then by Little Creek (Mala Voda) south of Polhov Gradec to form the Gradaščica River.
