River Sava

River Sava

The river Sava is a river that has it's source in Slovenia. It flows through Croatia along the Bosnia and Herzegovina borders and on to Serbia where it joints, as side tributary river Danube at Serbian capital Belgrade.

Sava is about 940 km long and covers area of about 95 thousands km2. Sava is often considered a northern edge of Balkan Peninsula. The Sava is navigable for almost 600 kilometers, from its confluence with the Danube until the mouth of the Kupa at Sisak (my hometown, where this photo was taken).

Unfortunately, as a result of traffic and densely populated and industrialized areas it flows through, Sava river is very polluted.
