Everything about Bosna totally explained
» This article is about the River Bosna. For the region see Bosnia (region), for other uses of the term Bosna / Bosnia, see Bosnia (disambiguation).
The
Bosna (
Cyrillic:
Босна) is the third longest
river in
Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is considered one of the country's three major internal rivers, along with the
Neretva and
Vrbas Rivers; the other three major rivers of Bosnia and Herzegovina are the
Una River, to the northwest, the
Sava River, to the north, and the
Drina River, to the east. The Bosna River flows for 271
kilometers (168
miles). Its name doesn't have any foreign variations. In the
Roman times the river was called the
Bosona, and it's thought that this is probably the
Illyrian origin of the name
Bosna.
Course and tributaries
The River Bosna also makes up the Bosna River Valley, the country's industrial center and home to close to a million people, as well as the location of several major cities. The river's biggest
tributaries are the Željeznica,
Miljacka,
Fojnica,
Lašva,
Gostović,
Krivaja,
Usora, and
Spreča rivers.
Its source is at the spring
Vrelo Bosne, at the
foothills of the Mount
Igman, on the outskirts of
Sarajevo. The spring is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's chief natural landmarks and
tourist attractions. From there, the Bosna flows northwards, through the heart of
Bosnia, eventually becoming a right
tributary of the
Sava River in Bosanski Samac.
Although it doesn't pass through any foreign countries, the Bosna flows through a number of
cantons and
regions of Bosnia. From its starting point in the
Sarajevo Canton, it also flows through
Zenica-Doboj Canton,
Doboj Region, and
Posavina Canton, in that order.
On its way north the River Bosna also passes through the cities of
Visoko,
Zenica,
Doboj,Modrica and Bosanski
Samac
