Ušnik dam pool at Podsela
The Ušnik stream meets the Soča at Podsela next to the Doblar hydropower dam. A small dam on the stream protects the Nova Gorica–Bovec road and creates a dark-green pool, through which the plant's 8 m wide reinforced-concrete penstock runs (it carries no Ušnik water). East of the pipe you can reach 12 m by the dam on a soft silty bottom; west of it a longer dive of an hour or more climbs gradually from 8 m to the gravel shallows where the pool becomes a stream again. Trout up to 50 cm patrol the shallows but are very hard to photograph.
Tiefe: 0–12 m
