Poljanska Sora

Poljanska Sora — Poljanska sora pri Poljanah

One of the two Sora headwaters, managed jointly by RD Žiri, RD Visoko and RD Sora, and the more huchen-dominated of the pair according to its own managing clubs — the lower sectors run sulec in numbers that make this a genuine winter destination, not a footnote to the trout season.
