Waters Managed by RD Šempeter.

RD Mozirje manages two major rivers within the upper Savinja basin, both offering alpine river fishing for native Danube-basin salmonids.

  • Savinja – The Savinja is a classic alpine river with clear, cool water, gravel and limestone beds, faster runs, and deeper pools around natural and artificial structures. The river supports Brown Trout and European Grayling and is particularly notable for its Huchen population.
  • Dreta – The Dreta is an alpine tributary of the Savinja, flowing through a mixture of forested valleys, gravel-bottomed sections, pools, and faster runs. It supports Brown Trout and European Grayling and is also an important Huchen water.
    The river offers a more intimate alternative to the larger Savinja while retaining the characteristic clear, cold-water environment of the upper Savinja basin.
