The Planina polje is a completely flat basin surrounded by rolling hills, created by Unica. The river enters from the south, leaving the Planina Cave and flood periods from other caves. Cross the bottom of the basin, creating the picturesque meanders and then disappear in a series of sinkholes at the feet of the northern highlands. When sinkholes are unable to absorb all the water, turning the whole of the basin overflows into a lake.
When I was there but the polje was indeed a lake, but dandelion in bloom.
The Planina Plain karst basin is closed to Completely Surrounded by smooth hills. It was created by Unica river that enters the plain from some caves on the southern hills. After a short but very tortuous course it disappears swallowed by other caves in the northern side. But sometimes, when the water is too much to be swallowed quickly enough, the river overflows and the plain becomes a lake. When I was there however, the plain was a yellow lake of dandelions, not water .
