Big Božna Creek (Slovene:Velika Božna) or simply theBožna,[1] also known asBožja Creek (Božja voda),[2] orBig Creek (Velika voda)[1] is a stream in northwesternSlovenia. It is the left source tributary of theGradaščica, the right one being Little Creek (Mala voda).[3] It was recorded under the German namesSalog bach orSallog Bach (i.e., Zalog Creek) in the 18th century.[4]
The source of Big Božna Creek is in thePolhov Gradec Hills west ofLjubljana, not far fromKremenik.[5] It forms part of the watershed of theLjubljanica River. The road from Polhov Gradec toČrni Vrh runs through the Big Božna Valley.[6] The Big Božna is joined by Little Božna Creek (Mala Božna, recorded in German as theBotschnia orBotschnia bach in the 18th century[7]) about 2 km north-northwest ofPolhov Gradec, and then by Little Creek (Mala Voda) south of Polhov Gradec to form the Gradaščica River.
