The source of Big Božna Creek is in the Polhov Gradec Hills west of Ljubljana, not far from Kremenik.[5] It forms part of the watershed of the Ljubljanica River. The road from Polhov Gradec to Črni Vrh runs through the Big Božna Valley.[6] The Big Božna is joined by Little Božna Creek (Mala Božna, recorded in German as the Botschnia or Botschnia bach in the 18th century[7]) about 2 km north-northwest of Polhov Gradec, and then by Little Creek (Mala Voda) south of Polhov Gradec to form the Gradaščica River.
